Thank you for your very kind comments; it’s always lovely to hear that everyone really enjoyed the holiday.
The hosts, Sue and John were welcoming and kind. The cottage is really nice, had everything you need, clean and well kept. The area is central to the town and shops.Definitely a must if you are in that area needing somewhere to say.

We had an amazing time staying at Delamore Cottage and the hosts Sue and John were very friendly and helpful, making the stay really enjoyable. Our daughters enjoyed the swimming pool which was at a perfect temperature and free to use whenever we wanted to use it. Fully recommend it if looking to stay in the area.

Delamore Cottage was very comfortable and well equipped! Our little grandson loved the pool and went in everyday of our week’s stay. The kitchen has everything you need and Sue left us milk, bread, biscuits which was an added bonus! Sue kindly sent us an email beforehand with lots of places of interest which was very useful. We really enjoyed our stay!

Really great hosts who provided us with lots of information on the area. The food hamper with bread, tea coffee and chocolate went down a treat. Garden was great for our dog to run round in and we all loved the private heated pool. Good location for Hunstanton, sandringham and other places. Would definitely recommend!
