There is an abundance of dog walks - a dog walker’s paradise and no shortages of restaurants, cafes and teashops the majority of which are dog friendly. The magnificent city of Norwich is 20 minutes away with its amazing cathedral, excellent shopping, cinemas, and too many restaurants to mention.

Central for The Broads and surrounding area
Perfect base for the Broads. Close to boat hire and local pubs. Also Great Yarmouth and Norwich can be reached within 30 minutes by car. Quince Cottage was delightful and had everything we needed for our stay, although the second double bedroom was a little snug. Lovely views from the back garden.

Beautiful, homely cottage
Quince Cottage was a really beautiful holiday home with everything you could need for a relaxing holiday. We absolutely loved the decor and it was the change of scenery we all needed. The coast and Broads are only short drives away, and Amanda was very helpful when we had some problems with our car, recommending a local garage. The nearby swimming pool you can book by the hour was also a highlight for the children! Thank you Amanda!

Beautiful converted barn
We really enjoyed our stay. A perfect location to discover the wonderful beaches nearby, sea the seals and rent a boat on the broads. The barn itself was beautiful but slightly let down by the lack of cutlery and cooking utensils. Just 5 knives, forks and spoons means constant washing up. The owner is very helpful though and left us a nice welcome gift which was a nice touch.

We had a lovely stay at Quince Cottage and would definitely stay there again.
I did feel that there were insufficient cooking utensils such as casserole dishes, garlic press etc.

Booked this lovely converted barn on this website and found the process very straightforward. If we plan on visiting this way again would definitely consider rebooking.
