Stayed for 4 nights. The trip was arranged as a surprised for my husband so that he could fish some of the local rivers. As I wouldn't be fishing I also needed somewhere comfortable and quiet so that I could read and watch some movies. This was the perfect choice. Had a lovely welcome and tour from Terence. The cottage is so pretty and has everything you could need for a comfortable stay. The front veranda gives you a great spot to sit with a coffee and watch the many butterflies around you. The home entertainment system is awesome and you can access a huge film library as well as all your usual apps like Netflix. Comfortable sofas for slouching. You are 15 mins to all you could need and although the cottage is at the bottom of the owners garden, you are completely secluded and yet have the reassurance that someone is nearby. A great stay and highly recommended.

Peacefull and relaxing

The property was very clean and tidy, and had everything we needed. The fixtures and fittings matched perfectly with the theme of the property. The tv and entertainment system was second to none, one of the best we have come accross. Although in the garden of owners it was well secluded and private, and they were friendly and helpfull and there if we needed them.

The perfect bolt-hole in rural Norfolk

We loved this little property. Although located in the landlord's garden, it was still private and secluded. Immaculately clean and well-equipped - we loved the integrated entertainment and lighting - with plenty of outdoor space to enjoy. It's in the perfect location to explore. Although there's no pub or shop in the village, we didn't have to travel far for either. We thoroughly recommend The Swan at Stalham!

Sailaway Cottage

A delightful, clean and well appointed property in a very quiet village. The owner was very friendly and helpful, privacy at the property was good. Great for cycling and walking. Would we go there again? Most likely! Excellent pub in the next village - a good walk away though, 5 minutes by bike or car.

Had a wonderful 3 night stay at Sailaway Cottage in mid-February. Such a spacious, yet cosy and comfortable cabin, well equipped, and great to have an oven - seems quite a rarity in holiday rentals these days. Loved all the different lighting options available at the touch of a button, big smart TV and a selection of games provided too. The bed was so comfy, both myself and my husband slept like logs.We ventured to Sea Palling (15 min drive) for a long beach walk followed by fresh hot doughnuts at Sandy Hills cafe, and Horsey Gap (25 min drive) to see the seals! What an incredible experience! Definitely make the trip if you're visiting November to February. The Pleasureboat Inn at Hickling and Nelson Head at Horsey both serve very nice food. Also popped to The Greyhound (also in Hickling) for a drink but beware the London-esque prices there. That came as quite a shock!Absolutely loved our visit and wish it could have been longer. So disappointed the cottage is already booked for the Easter weekend else we'd be back then. Will definitely return when we can.Stef & Emma

Terry and Annette are very helpful and welcoming hosts. Sailaway is a lovely property very well decorated and comfortable with excellent facilities. It is quite secluded in the grounds of the house and very quiet and peaceful setting. Excellent situation for access to the broad and watersports and also for cycling the quiet Norfolk lanes as well as good eateries. We would thoroughly recommend this venue
