Spinney's Den Reviews

Only one word to say about our stay at spinnys den PERFECT
Jeanette
Lovely well maintained and clean property. Lots of thought put into the little extras placed in the cottage. Scones upon arrival were delicious and very grateful of the milk, bread etc left for us. Good location for seeing North Norfolk, we had a great holiday. Will certainly recommend Spinneys Den
Andrew
Well what can I say except wow wow wow Absolutely stunning The attention to ... Well what can I say except wow wow wow Absolutely stunning The attention to detail was absolutely out of this world, everything was thought of and more The home cooked scones and fresh bread was the icing on the top Would highly recommend this to anyone
Hi there. Thanks so much for hosting us. We really enjoyed our time with you. There is so much to praise you for. The cleanliness of the house. The hot tub. Your kind welcome and the scones. The attention to detail for our dog. Just a headsup on one or two things. We only just had enough toilet rolls. An additional roll or two would have been good to have in case of emergencies! Also, your two frying pans need replacing. Fried food was sticking to the base of each eg an egg omelette soon had to be changed to become scrambled egg! Bacon also stuck to the pan in spite of oil being added.
Spotlessly clean welcome scones etc much appreciated. Well equipped cottage hot tub superb wife was in it every day. Clean towels provided for shower and two for hot tub great. Dog basket and bowls loved by max the dog.Hosts Nikki and John were very welcoming and helpful. Would recommend this cottage.lovr Nicky Dean and max
Spinneys Den was a real home from home and had everything you could possibly have needed and more. It was spotlessly clean and the views from the balcony were beautiful. The scones, jam, cheeses, butter and crusty loaf and milk in the fridge on arrival was a lovely touch. The hot tub was very much a bonus after a day taking in the delights of North Norfolk and the massage chair was an unexpected pleasure again helping to ease those tense muscles or just relax them. Nicki and John were a pleasure to meet and very informative of local places to visit. Perfect location for ease of access to the coast and inland places to visit. So many decorative touches to the interior that made the place so special. Plenty of storage, comfy bed, good wi fi. Would definitely stay here again.
Dorothy
Perfect, lovely cottage with fantastic views. The cottage was spotlessly clean and very well equipped with everything you could need for a holiday. The massage chair was a definite bonus ! The hosts, Nikki and John, were brilliant very sociable but not intrusive in any way. This is a cottage we will definitely be booking again.
The welcome pack was much appreciated. Very friendly hosts who had considered carefully the layout and fittings of the property. We loved the view from the balcony with a deer appearing on 3 occasions. Very special!
Abigail
A lovely little cottage perfectly located to explore the beautiful Norfolk. Really cozy home touches made it a really comfortable stay. Perfectly clean and friendly hosts. The hot tub is a little bit overlooked by the owners property if I was being really picky, a taller fence would fix that. The balcony is a wonderful place to have coffee and their home made scones.
We booked here because a previous booking was cancelled and we had to find somewhere at short notice, but we're really glad that we did. The facilities are excellent and the views wonderful although the high winds prevented us from using the balcony until our last night... A touch we particularly appreciated was the book on the oral history of Knapton, which gave us an insight into the place and enabled us better to appreciate what we were seeing. Big thanks to all concerned, and I'm now off to book it again!
First class accommodation immaculate inside and out. Amazing hot tub. Lots of little touches to make the stay comfortable and lovely!! Great location 8 min drive to beaches.
Amelita
What a lovely property, private even next to the owner, beautiful decorated and with an amazing view from the living room which is upstairs. The kitchen had everything we could wish for included air fryer, oven and microwave. The garden was fenced off so our dog was safe there. Lovely to have the hot tub even though the weather was not that good. All I all a very lovely week.
Nicholas
We had a lovely stay at Spinneys Den. Couldnt fault any of it. Lovely location, property and a lovely host. Would recommend staying here. Thank you
Christopher
We had a fantastic stay at Spinney's Den over the Christmas period with our small dog. The property has everything you'd need, we even managed to cook a full Christmas dinner with no issues at all. Spinney's Den is so comfortable and we very much enjoyed relaxing in front of the TV either watching the Christmas programmes or one of many DVD's. The hot tub is great too and even though the weather was bitter we soon warmed up when we got in. We loved exploring the local villages and towns, Mundesley just down the road is lovely with a beautiful beach and The Ship Inn is well worth a visit. Overall we had a lovely stay and felt like truly got away from it all. Thanks so much Nikki & John.
Wow! What a lovely stay. Location perfect for several lovely beaches and enjoying the tranquility . Cottage was perfect for us and our pooch. Welcome delights were a hit, from home made scones to treats for Ralphie. Everything you could need including a sewing kit. Nothing was too much trouble & Nikky & John are the perfect hosts. We will definitely be back . Sue & Alan
A great place to stay. Very well thought out with some lovely personal touches, great views from evey window. Spotlessly clean and well equipped kitchen. Would definitely recommend Also very convenient base for exploring local attractions. 1010
This was an absolutely fabulous accommodation with equally fabulous proprietors. The facilities were incredible and an absolute full value for our payment. The location was brilliant and this was reinforced by the views of Mundesley, Knapton village and church, and the adjacent farmland, available from both the windows and the verandah. The friendliness, helpfulness, and sociability from the proprietors, Nikki and John and their daughter is exemplary. We would, seriously, recommend this accommodation to everyone!!
The property was beautifully presented, spotlessly clean and contained everything we needed and more. Even the dog was catered for. The owners were welcoming, friendly and willing to offer help if required. The bread,butter,cheese jam and delicious scones left to greet us were a wonderful surprise. It is probably the best cottage we have stayed in.
We had perfect holiday at Spinney's Den John and Nikki were lovely hosts. The house was equipped with everything we needed the enclosed garden perfect for our dog. The veranda was just right for a glass of wine after our days exploring the beautiful Norfolk coast and countryside. I can highly recommend Norfolk and Spinney's Den. Sue from Gloucester

The property exceeded our expectations. It was perfectly located for visits to the Norfolk coast and a convenient day train trip into Norwich. A truly relaxing location.
Michael
What a wonderful break in this lovely cottage. The little extras made it feel home from home. Dcor and amenities were first class and the lack of wifi was not a problem, in fact it was nice to get away from the hassle of the modern world. An ideal location for a romantic time away with lots to do and see in the area, the beaches are stunning the dog is still covered in sand! If you want to get away and relax and just take it easy, sit in the hot tub with a glass of wine then this is the place for you. Highly recommended.
Lovely property in a lovely location with very helpful hosts
Spinneys den is everything we expected. So quiet and peaceful with lovely views across farmland and sea views. It was equipped with everything we needed ,And our host nikki and John close by but never intrusive,but there if we needed anything. We will definitely come back in the future.
We've stayed in many holiday cottages over the years and this is one of the best. Ideal for two, very comfy and clean and pretty much perfect with wonderful views over the countryside towards the coast. The hot tub is a real bonus and the scones and chocolates waiting us on arrival is a thoughtful touch. Ideally placed for exploring Norfolk we've thoroughly enjoyed staying at Spinneys Den.
The property was an absolute delight. Immaculately clean bright and airy. All needs are catered for with so many lovely extras. The Hot Tub was great after a day out. Mustnt forget the delicious scones and jam! Congratulations to the owners for providing such a lovely place to stay. Thank you.
WOW!! We had a lovely weekend stay at Spinneys Den, would highly recommend for a relaxing getaway . It was extremely clean and tidy, had all the facilities that we needed and there were some lovely touches such as the homemade scones which tasted amazing!, and the dog bed and treats. The hot tub is also fantastic, definitely the best we have been in. Nikki and John were also brilliant, close enough that they were there if we needed anything but never intrusive. Location is fantastic as well, a nice walk to Mundesley and the beach, and also Pigney Woods a short walk away which our dog loved!. All in all a fantastic weekend, we didnt want to leave and we look forward to coming back in the future.
Jackie
Very nice place to stay would recommend to friends and family. The owners were really nice and helpful and friendly.
We had a lovely 4 night stay at Spinneys Den. The owners were very welcoming but unobtrusive during our stay. The cottage was very well equipped, very clean and the owners had thought of everything we needed. Very dog friendly garden and also supplied dog bed, bowls towels etc. Lots of added extras most cottages never supply. Beautiful location near to numerous places to visit,wonderful large hot tub, comfy bed, great shower, great parking, views from the balcony were amazing, we saw deer in the field adjacent and you can even see the sea! Loved the welcome goodies of freshly made scones, jam butter milk and cheese baguette and personalised welcome card . The only negative was having no free wifi. We think it is a necessity now in holiday accommodation. That aside it was one of the best cottages we have stayed and would definitely recommend.
Rachael
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Spinneys Den. The facilities are excellent and everything has been considered for a comfortable stay. The hosts were friendly and really helpful. We would highly recommend a stay at Spinneys Den and would love to stay again. The hot tub was a definite winner even in the cold weather!. Thanks so much for your hospitality.
Benton
Was a lovely stay in a lovely area! House was well stocked and there was plenty of info on the area provided.
Cottage was spotlessly clean and the owners had thought of everything to enable a relaxing enjoyable stay, from welcome pack with home made scones to condiments to umbrellas and waterproofs. The cottage is ideally located for visiting the coast or historic houses.
Had a lovely stay at the property! However on arrival we were questioning whether we were at the right place. Pictures led us to believe that the owners of the property we not going to be within ten meters of the property also in the pictures shown the area around the hot tub would be secluded and not that the owners could see right through. However was a lovely property, great location and I would advise that the gate into the owners back garden is removed and replaced with bushes.
Claire
We had such a lovely stay at the Spinney. We have stayed in many rented cottages around the world and this one really stood out for being the best . The thoughtful touches like home made scones, toiletries supplied which went above and beyond and the spotless accommodation. The kitchen was so well resourced and had everything you could possibly think of and more. Thank you so much John for providing an outstanding service.
Absolutely stunning property. Well maintained, extremely clean well presented. Loved the little touches such as sauce sachets, milk in fridge, scones delicious! and the book full of ideas, walks and brochures for local areas. Hot tub was perfect after a day out exploring followed by a jigsaw puzzle
Alison
Our 3rd visit to Spinney Den so that says it all, spotlessly clean and welcoming, the hosts Nikki and John are very accommodating and thought of everything to help make your holiday special and relaxing and evenings spent in the hot tub rounded off a lovely day exploring Norfolk. We will definitely be returning... Thankyou Nikki and John
Spinneys den was fabulous. The accommodation was spotlessly clean and was so well equipped with many extras that we havent had in other holiday accommodations. The location was perfect with great views across the countryside to the sea. Nikki and John were great hosts and the welcome scones and treats on arrival were lovely. We would definitely recommend and will be returning.
Kirsty
Beautiful property, extremely clean with everything needed for a great stay. The little extras were a lovely touch and the hot tub was amazing! The bed and pillows were so comfy. I have frequent insomnia but I slept so amazingly here! It's the most relaxed I've been in a while. One of the best holiday cottages we have stayed in. We will definitely be back!
George
The property was exactly as described and fair to say probably surpassed our expectations, extremely clean, comfortable and equipped with everything required for a holiday week. Thank you for the welcoming bits and pieces, very much appreciated after our long journey. Views from the patio doorsbalcony were lovely, looking to the sea, watching the ships float by, we downloaded a ship app to identify them and their destinations a bit sad I know lovely at night watching their bright lights. Spinneys Den is located perfectly for visits to the Broads, the Norfolk Coast, we visited Sandringham and Blickling Estate, both an easy drive away. We would recommend this property to our family and friends, a lovely week, maybe one day we will return. Thank you for sharing your property with us.
Carole
1010. It was a lovely stay with a hot tub to enjoy and a fabulous balcony with views across open fields to the sea near Mundersley and Bacton Sands. We really felt we were pampered for four nights. This upside down house living area upstairs with access to a lovely balcony was great to come home to after trips out to the local coast, woods and National Trust properties. The owners have put a lot of thought into little touches to make you feel welcome and your stay perfect, including for our dog. A great selection of games, books, Blu Rays & DVDs, dog basket, dog treats, cool bag, some beach stuff, a secure garden and balcony. Hospitality gifts were a nice thought too after a long drive. Its a bolt hole for two the open views across the landscape and the big skies means it doesnt feel small. Top tip take binoculars if youre into wild life. The property is set back from a road, but we didnt find road noise too intrusive and at night it was very quiet. Owners next door, Nikki and John, were welcoming, polite and on hand if we needed to ask questions or query anything. They set a high bar for standards. The place was spotless. We have no hesitation in recommending it to friends and family.
