“A warm welcome” On arriving Jackie and John's warm welcome began the relaxation and wind down we were looking for. Enough information given on the operation of the cottage, a tour of the gardens, river area, local info about eating out etc and the welcome pack found in the fridge began the start of a great week stay in The Olde Laundry This was our first visit but in discussion with guests from the other cottages revealed that some had been coming for a number of years - what a recommendation to both place and countryside. Lots to see and do throughout the area, with lots of walking (at least it was flat for us coming from the scottish highlands!) No local shops in the village - self catering meant travelling a short distance to larger areas for supplies however it also introduces you to the custom of local fresh produce being sold by local people at the side of roads/streets. A great stay.

“Excellent 17 th century cottage” In very peaceful situation with excellent grounds around in which to wander. Good situation for touring with Norwich. coast and broads all easily reached. Cottage divided into 2 - ground floor and first floor and both contain everything you could want - like home from home.

“Everything you need for a perfect holiday” We have stayed in these beautiful cottages many times and can't wait to return. John and Jackie are wonderful hosts who do everything they can to make your stay a most happy and memorable experience. The cottages are a joy to stay in, they are extremely comfortable and well equipped, in fact they are a real "home from home". If you add this to the wonderful tranquil riverside setting you have the perfect ingredients for a great "get away from it all" relaxing holiday. We are already planning our next visit for later this year.

Guestbook for The olde Laundry

What a lovely place, not really a home from home because it's much better than ours, !!
At the risk of repeating what so many other guests have said, this place is so well equipped !
you've thought of everything, it has a lovely atmosphere, and will definitley have no hesitation recommending it to everyone.
Brian and Linda

We have had a wonderful holiday, here in this superb accommodation, loved every moment, It is the best self-catering holiday we have had, and we have been having this type of holiday for many years.
Sue and Ivor.

This is our third holiday here, and everything is just as good as the first. A perfect place to unwind and relax.
we have always been to self catering cottages for the last twenty nine years, but this beats all of them.
Jan and Mick

A magical christmas The olde Laundry was glowing with fairy lights and decorations and despite the wet weather outside , there were no grey days inside.
Mr Mrs. Johnson

Our second visit and, once again apart from weather, nothing could be bettered, we even had mum duck and 8 ducklings waddling by to be fed. it really is a haven of peace here. It really is home from home, a five star rating would not be enough.
