Great place to stay
We had a great stay at this cottage, our 4th year of staying! The accommodation was clean as usual and there is everything you need for a great weekend.
All the staff are welcoming and on hand if anything is needed.
Thank you

Back again!
My Family came to stay last year to visit us in Norfolk. It was so lovely and fun that we joined them this year even though we live in Norfolk. The facilities are amazing and we love the pool the most and the new games room is excellent too!
Thank you for making us feel so welcome!

Family get together
Wonderful! It was a comfortable and beautifully decorated cottage. A large fridge freezer and plenty of storage. This cottage is dog friendly too. Lovely location. Children loved the on-site games barn/ games room which was an added bonus too!

Thanks Spixthworth team :)

Fabulous Family Weekend!
We booked both Granary and Waterside Cottages to celebrate a family birthday. It worked incredibly well for both adults and children (ages 17 - 7). The games barn and outdoor pool were a real bonus keeping everyone entertained. Enjoyable walks around the grounds
too.
Check in was straight forward.
Comfortable beds and good quality bed linen.
Well stocked kitchen utensils and pots/pans.

Brilliant family weekend
Just spent the weekend here with our large extended family. Ages ranging from 2-82. Everyone had a brilliant time. Such a beautiful site with well maintained properties. The pool and the games room/ barn were enjoyed by everyone & the location is absolutely stunning!
Jack, Sheelagh & Kim were friendly & helpful and made the booking process very smooth. We had a fabulous time. Thanks for having us! :-)

A return visit
This is our second time staying in the Granary Cottage and we have a great time. The surroundings are ideal for the children and they love using the pool. The lounge/kitchen has everything we need and this year the sofas had been replaced.
There was also new climbing frames, slides and swings.
The cottage is well located and in easy reach of the Broads for boats and also the coast. We enjoyed the Dinosaur park, which was a great day out for all the family.
It was a great week and I'm sure we ill be returning next year.

Spixworth Hall cottages
A lovely holiday home. Location was great for access to beaches and Norwich.
We used the pool most days which was heated to a good temperature (a net to clean the surface before use would have been good though). We also used the tennis court which was a lovely bonus. It's worth noting that both the pool and the court are a short drive or reasonably long walk away (or long walk with kids anyway!). A fab new playground was installed whilst we were there, it's just beside the cottages so a great feature for the kids (aged 5 and 9).
The beauty of the outdoor areas didn't quite follow through to the interior decor which was a little dated, but it was perfectly functional and clean and everything was in good working order.
The owners were easily contactable if we had any questions.

A much needed holiday of peace and quiet
We much appreciated being greeted by Sheelagh on arrival and immediately felt reassured by her responsible approach to COVID requirements. We felt safe. The location is wonderful with easy walking around the farm, easy access to Norwich and the Broards. We had expected to be busy but after a couple of sorties we luxuriated in the peace, sunshine and our books . We got lazier and lazier and blame the air! The Granary was perfect and very well set up as a holiday cottage. As a couple we just used the top bedroom with excellent shower. Downstairs we were able to cook if we wanted to and be inside happily but the weather was so lovely we spent much time outside. We had access to both sunshine and shade which we needed in September!! We were able to walk almost entirely off road to the Black Swan where we felt comfortable eating outside. We will return to this wonderful complex of cottages bringing our family and hopefully find the energy to explore further afield.

Lovely visit
We had a great week at Spixworth Hall cottages (Granary cottage). So kind allowing our last minute change. The cottage and grounds are wonderful and we loved the pool and the walk down a country lane to get to it.
