August break

Had a lovely midweek break, the location was perfect for us, tucked away in a peaceful haven with dog walks straight from the front door and a lovely enclosed garden that our grandson and dog thoroughly enjoyed and we spent most evenings sat outside . The included facilities and comfortable rooms made it feel like a home from home.

Lovely cottage :-)

Beautifully quaint cottage, plenty of room for us 5 +terrier. Well equipped we had everything we needed. Loved the peaceful rural setting, just wish we were staying longer. Communication with the owner was excellent. The only improvement I would make would be to have a king size double bed in the double room (but maybe we just like our space)

We could live there!

We absolutely loved this place. The location is virtually silent, an abundance of nature and wildlife, yet still only a lovely 20 min walk to a fantastic pub, and 20 mins drive to amazing beaches. We would live in this cottage if we could!

Little corner of tranquility

This is a quirky little cottage that has everything you need for a peaceful getaway. The location is outstanding, down a walkers track overlooking farmers fields. The beds were very comfortable and the master bedroom is especially nice.

Lovely Rural Location and also convenient for the coast.

The cottage provides great accomodation ( 3 adults and 2 children in our case). It has a great garden suitable for our 2 dogs. The sunroom overlooking the garden is particularly nice. The cottage could do with a little tlc, nothing serious But an upgrade of the cooker and fixing the sticking rear door would be, l am sure, appreciated by future guests. We would certainly stay again.

Easter weekend break

The property is ideally located to explore a Norfolk, being close to Norwich and the coast. There are country walks from the doorstep too. As a family of five, the property worked well for us and the garden is a good size for dogs. We had thought the garden was secure, but one of our dogs found a big gap in the mesh behind the shed. While the house is well equiped, the refurbishment was clearly done some years ago and it is looking tired now, both inside and out. The property is good value for money.

Beautiful Norfolk Cottage

This is the second time I’ve stayed here with my partner, our two year old son and our 2 year old cat Loki. An absolutely amazing cottage for all three of us and our needs. So beautiful & so so peaceful you just feel like you’re out of the country. Paula & James are super hosts always just a text message or call away and the care and thought gone into our stay every single time is just amazing. We hope to stay here many more times and if your looking for a beautiful & peaceful cottage with a private enclosed garden .. a beautiful large fireplace & amazing country walks just outside your doorstep then look no further then Westfield Cottage .. you won’t be disappointed!
