“Very nice comfortable and warm lovely place to stay”

Beverley October 2024

“Had a really lovely time.”

Could not fault anything relating to the cottage. Personal touches were extremely welcoming. Accidentally pulled down a curtain pole on the first day and Helen and her husband could not have been kinder in rectifying! Lovely view from the patio across to King's Lynn. Lovely walks for me and my dog.

Martin March 2024

“Fantastic stay at Kathy's Cottage, nothing was to much for the owners, very clean and comfortable.”

The only thing that needs changing is the size of the fridge/freezer as we found the freezer compartment was tiny especially if a family was staying for a week. But apart from that the cottage had everything you would/could need from a holiday let.

Ashley October 2023

“Lovely cottage, but had to knock a star off due to a couple of niggles, the sink bowl and drainer needed a good clean.”

I scrubbed bowl and removed drainer. The edges of the room hadn't been vacuumed. The edges of overflow in bathroom sink black where not cleaned properly. Shame as such silly issues and overall lovely place and owner lovely and helpful. Appreciated the flowers and cakes.

- Ashley, October 2023
David September 2023

“It was a wonderful well stocked welcoming cottage and we immediately felt at home.”

I love to cook and the kitchen was very well equiped. Helen was very supportive and helped us with our queries and dropped off a brochure for the King's Lynn heritage day which gave us a great day out. IT is close to the ferry which we used regularly and it is a greta location to get bussrs and trains to expplore the region. We would definately recommend this cottage.

Manton August 2023

“This is a small property but has all the facilities required.”

The downstairs bathroom may be an issue for some. Helen the owner is very helpful and easy to contact. We were allowed to drop off our cases early as we were on our way to a wedding in the afternoon.

Donna February 2023

“Lovely cottage.”

.. Clean and comfortable and very well equipped with everything you need... If there was one thing i had to say as a negative and this is through no fault of the cottage owners is that when you drive into the carpatk it's a shame you are greeted with a very untidy sight with old car parked in there and lots of rubbish outside their neighbours gate but as i said thats no fault of kathys cottage but was very noticable when we arrived all in all though we couldnt fault the cottage welcome when we got inside the property cakes and flowers were left out and the owners son came round and introduced himself so that was lovely thanks kathys cottage would definitely recommend

“Very comfortable and well-equipped cottage with a homely feel.”

“A wonderful holiday cottage, so comfortable and welcoming and ideal for visiting/sightseeing around the Norfolk Coast and villages.”

- Andrew, August 2022
Wendy August 2022

“We had a wonderful week at Kathy’s cottage.”

It is spotlessly presented and well equipped, in a quiet pretty location. We took our small dog and enjoyed walking by the river nearby. Nothing is too much trouble for the owner Helen and her family and her warm welcome was really appreciated. The cottage is an ideal base for exploring the Norfolk coastline, Sandringham park and visiting King’s Lynn. Would highly recommend and hope to return for another visit soon.

“A gorgeous little cottage, nicely decorated, spotlessly clean and with every facility, situated in West Lyne with views across to Kings Lyne and a short walk to the ferry across the Great Ouse.”

Easy access to the Norfolk coast and wonderful villages (once you've mastered the roundabout outside Kings Lyne) Warm welcome from the owner - really can't recommend enough!

- Margaret, March 2022
Glennis January 2022

“My biggest problem was getting down the stairs at night quick enough to get to the loo.”

Open stair and just found it hard. I am glad of the washing machine being where it was and handy. Cottage was clean, flowers on table and a welcome pack of tea etc. I have to cook all meals myself cos of diet problems. and stove really good. Light bulb went out and phoned and new one in, took less than five minutes. So caring. would go again if in that area. Bus every hour to Kings Lynn go to end of road and every half hour. Village shop nearby but very expensive. Butchers great value and sells vegs very fresh and clean.

- Glennis, January 2022
Frederick December 2021

“We had a fantastic stay at Kathy's cottage.”

The cottage was cosy, clean and enjoyable. Lovely size double room with lots of storage space. Nice local walks and the town centre is only a short drive or walkable via the ferry. Welcome pack really nice. Would stay again and recommend to friends.

- Karen, October 2021
June September 2021

“The owners were wonderful and very kind and helpful, The cottage is comfortable, clean with everything you need for a comfortable stay.”

This Victorian, mid-terrace cottage, full of character is situated in the lovely village of West Lynn, just across the River Great Ouse from the historic port town of King's Lynn.

The two-bedroom cottage is well-situated for exploring the west Norfolk coastline with the family and your four legged friends, and an evening of entertainment with the selection of books and games.

The property greets you with an off-road parking space before heading through the wooden gate with a charming "Kathy's Cottage" sign and stepping into the hallway where there is suitable space to leave coats and shoes.

On your left there is a bathroom where you can soak in a bubble bath after a long day or freshen up under the shower.

Outside there is enclosed patio with furniture for guests to enjoy a crisp bottle of wine as they plan the days ahead.

The lovely village of West Lynn has a shop and a highly recommended butchers for any self-catering needs.

Alternatively, head across River Great Ouse to the traditional winding streets of King's Lynn where you can find a wide range of pubs, bars and eateries making for a great evening out.

Why not leave the car at home and explore King's Lynn by taking the ferry, where you can find plenty of independent or high street shops, as well as character merchant houses, museums, and the 16th century Custom House, which is a Grade I listed building.

Nearby the Norfolk Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is a haven for walkers and wildlife lovers, The Royal Sandringham Estate has something for everyone, great dog walks, fantastic childrens play area and the queens church is well worth a visit.
