Perfect
Absolutely perfect, the cottage was spacious, but cosy, and had everything in there you needed. The surroundings were stunning.
We used the tennis courts on a couple of occasions, games room was ideal and only a short walk from the cottage. Highly recommend a stay here

Wedding weekend
Everyone absolutely loved staying in this cottage, you'd thought of everything to make our weekend so special. We all had such a fantastic weekend and can't thank you enough. The pool, games room and fishing lake were an added bonus.

Cottage Stay Waterside
All of our family stayed in the Spixworth Cottages for our wedding which we had in the barns. My family who stayed in the waterside said it was very clean and tidy, set out well with everything you needed. A nice touch was added on arrival with all condiments for our stay.
Such a lovely cottage in great grounds Fab swimming pool and games and park facilities

Beautiful holiday week
We loved the cottage and the farm but especially the pool. We had the best weather and the freedom for the children was great. They could walk to the play barn and park and were safe. There were great views across the fields and lovely woodland walks. Loved the pool as was always warm and in a lovely sun trapped spot.
Good value for money and nice places to visit nearby.

Lovely stay
The accommodation was very clean and comfortable and Jack and Sheila were fantastic hosts, catering for all our needs and requests. The whole site, with the games room barn was great. We used the barn for line dancing which was ideal.

Peaceful seclusion
A fabulous location down a gated farm track to a beautifully appointed converted coach house. A perfect setting for relaxing amid the countryside and within easy distance of Oxnead Hall where we attended a wedding. Friendly hosts. Would highly recommend.

Lovely Stay
My family and I chose to stay here to celebrate my birthday, having previously enjoyed a wonderful experience in Gaffers Cottage for my uncle’s 50th. This time, we opted for a slightly smaller cottage, as our group was a bit more intimate. I wholeheartedly recommend this retreat to anyone; the owners, who have known my family for years, are truly kind and genuine people. The setting is breathtaking, and each cottage is beautifully appointed. We look forward to returning for future stays.

weekend break with extended family
Spixworth Hall Cottages is such a wonderful place, we have returned 3 times now. The grandkids especially love the games barn and the freedom we can give them in this location to go independently (they are aged 13, 12 and 8) but they also love to challenge us to a game of pool or air hockey (they always win of course!) This venue is ideal for visits to family in Norwich and the treat of going to 'Roys of Wroxham'! Highly recommend Spixworth Hall Cottages!

Two one-night stays
I stayed at Spixworth Hall cottages last year with my family. We had some a great time - it's in a very idyllic spot, the owners are super friendly and there are good facilities on site for families with kids.
I needed somewhere to stay at short notice when I had a couple of weekends away in Norfolk so I contacted Kim to ask if they had any rooms, and she very kindly accommodated us.
The cottage was spotless and comfortable.
Don't hesitate to book this place.

Outstanding - a gem
Part of me doesn’t want to post a review because if everyone knew how lovely this place is we would never be able to book again! Idyllic, peaceful, comfortable cottage with everything we could need. The games room was a particular hit with the children! A warm, personal welcome was a nice touch and we enjoyed being able to wander around such lovely grounds/fields. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Fabulous Family Weekend!
We booked both Waterside and Granary Cottages to celebrate a family birthday. It worked incredibly well for both adults and children (ages 17 - 7). The games barn and outdoor pool were a real bonus keeping everyone entertained. Enjoyable walks around the grounds
too.
Check in was straight forward.
Comfortable beds and good quality bed linen.
Well stocked kitchen utensils and pots/pans.
