Response from the owner Thank you for your review. Squirrel Cottage is situated in a peaceful tranquil spot with good access to the many attractions that Norfolk has to offer, and only a few miles from the historic city of Norwich, your mind can go back in time walking in the lanes in the old part of the city where you come across ancient churches and 2 cathedrals , a thriving market and interesting independent shops.

“Perfect, rural retreat with wonderful amenities”
A fantastic 2 week family holiday where, from the first moment, we were made to feel so welcome by our hosts. Squirrel Cottage, situated within Chrissy & Keith's immaculate and beautiful gardens, adjacent to a nature reserve, was the perfect base in which to relax, unwind and discover Norfolk. Having the luxury of a large covered, heated pool allowed us to enjoy a swim regardless of the weather, not forgetting the large Jacuzzi. The games room was brilliant fun enabling our boys and us uninterrupted access to learning table tennis and pool on professional tables as well as darts and table football. We have discovered a real hidden gem that we hope one day to return to. Thank you again Chrissy and Keith!!
