Lovely cottage in a great location

We had a lovely stay at Ayres Cottage, although a little tired in places the cottage was warm, clean and in a great location to explore North Norfolk. We couldn’t fit our car through the opening to the parking, however there was enough space in front of the cottage to park. We would stay again, so we are hoping the new owners will keep the cottage as a holiday rental cottage.

Great location

A very comfortable cottage in a great location. Cottage well looked after with everything you woukd want in your own home (apart from a pizza cutter!!) Rural setting in a lovely quiet village but close drive to beautiful nearby beaches. Wonderful location to explore the North Norfolk coast.

Great location in North Norfolk

We spent a week at Ayers cottage in a very quiet location. Although there were no local shops in Burnham Thorpe, Burnham Market is only a few minutes drive away for all the shopping we needed. Lots of local dog friendly pubs with good quality food. The cottage was comfortable with a nice enclosed garden which was secure for the dog.

The property requires upgrading in most areas to gain maximum rental price. Bathroom is especially bad ,double bed is small and uncomfortable, sofas are uncomfortable too. Outside garden table needs attention.

Has potential

Property needs a good spring clean, we needed drinking glasses and towels, not great from Norfolk Hideaways. Good location and nice place to stay, but needs work on general cleaning and checking of items in the kitchen as crockery is chipped, no suitable drinking glasses etc. We needed towels on the first day as promised, not the evening before we left. Good location though and after having cleaned parts of myself, we had a nice time.

An enjoyable second stay

We returned to Ayers Cottage because it offers a comfortable place to stay in a quiet village, yet within easy access of Burnham Market and the coast. The cottage is furnished as a family home and is well above the normal standard for rented holiday properties. We highly recommend it and will be coming again.

Excellent for getting away after being locked down for so long

All excellent, especially the wildlife (deer, hares, fledging bluetits) included in the package! Sofas a bit uncomfortable (backs too low for comfortable sitting) otherwise everything fine. Getting in to the parking space a bit of a challenge the forst few times. Good centre for walks and exploring.

Delightful cottage opposite a brook

We found Ayers cottage to be very suitable to our needs, set in a quiet, pretty village with dedicated parking and good facilities. The garden is enclosed and not really overlooked. One poor point was that Norfolk Hideaways had left a note on the toilet cistern to say that they were aware of a cracked toilet seat and would try to order one. The seat was cracked and also not attached safely to the toilet making it both unhygienic and dangerous. This was reported the first morning we were there and quickly remedied by Norfolk Hideaways. The bathroom cold tap is a bit unresponsive at times but they couldn’t fix that. The garden table was encrusted with mould but I managed to clean that off before we used it. Overall we would happily return to this cottage. We spend quite a bit of time in N Norfolk cottages and this was one we would recommend. It looks like The Nelson pub which is a very short walk away is opening again so that will be great for future visitors. We walked in to Burnham market to visit Number 29 and Socius for some delightful meals.

Thank you very much for taking the time to give your feedback, it looks like you had a lovely stay. I'm sorry that the cracked toilet seat was not fitted prior to your stay, the part was ordered but hadn't arrived in time for your arrival day, I'm pleased to know that Norfolk Hideaways quickly remedied that for you after its arrival. I'm pleased to hear you were able to overcome some of the other issues you came across, we'll do our best to rectify these for future guests. Thank you again for your feedback, we appreciate it. Kind regards, Norfolk Hideaways

Relaxing break

lovely, well equipped cottage. Really comfortable bed with good pillows & gorgeous feather quilt. Burnham Thorpe is so peaceful with lots of walks from the door, our dog loved it. Such a lot of great places to visit within a 20 min drive. Holkham beach is a must. There was an issue with the shower pump whilst we were there, but dealt with ASAP when we reported it, excellent customer service team.

Needs a good clean

A lovely place to stay in a lovely location however the cottage really needs a good clean. We split some water on the floors down stairs and use some kitchen towel to clean it up and it was black. The same was the bathroom floor. We ended up mopping them all to feel a little more comfortable. The back garden could also do with a tidy and the back gate needs fixing as any child could easily get out.

Dear Sarah, Thank you for your review, this can be invaluable as sometimes unless things are reported to us or an owner as being faulty, we are unaware that things need dealing with. I have passed on your comments to the housekeeper and i can assure you we will be keeping a closer eye on the overall standard and presentation of the property. We are glad you did think the cottage was lovely and it was great location. We do hope we can welcome you back soon.

Ayes Cottage comfortable and cosy.

Very cosy, comfortable and well equipped cottage. Burnham Thorpe is a small village where Horacio Nelson was born. It is close to Burnham Market where there are nice restaurants and not far from the coast. We enjoyed our stay there over Christmas it was very quiet there which is what we wanted away from all the celebrations.

Lovely area, lovely cottage - lovely weather a bonus

We have had a lovely week, the dog-friendly cottage is just fine, the closure of the local pub a disaster.

Can't wait to return

Lovely comfortable well equipped cottage with a secure garden in a quiet location, convenient for beautiful beaches and walks. Good off road parking but the access width was very tight!
