The Duck House Reviews

Christine
I had a great week at the Duck House, which is spacious, comfortable and in a good location for visiting coast, countryside and Broads. I received a friendly welcome from the owner and there is ample parking. The highlight is the hot tub and the weather was so good I was able to use it most evenings. The cottage is no longer available to book otherwise I would happily recommend it.
Angela
Lovely, peaceful stay. Felt very safe and secure. Enjoyed the walking in the area although chose not to go far. Bathroom and lounge furniture showing wear but still comfortable. Shower head a bit annoying. Bed comfortable and lots of room. Loads of storage. So many books, DVDs and games if you get bored. Enjoyed first hot tub experience. Was worried about using it but instructions by the tub are very clear and simple.
Excellent property, we stayed in2024 and we enjoyed our stay so much we booked again this year and this year was better because we had brilliant weather. We would recommend this property my wife loved the hot tub. Its an ideal property to stay for visiting The Broads and surrounding area including the lovely beaches.
Andrew
Absolutely beautiful 2 weeks stay. Very comfortable just what the doctor ordered.just wished we found this little gem years ago
Sandra
We really enjoyed our stay and Phil the owner was extremely helpful. Staying anywhere in the UK in January is always a gamble weather wise, but the cottage was lovely and warm and there was always the hot tub!!!!!
Cosy,warm and comfortable . A beautiful rural setting . Everything we could ask for for a relaxing break .
Lovely welcome pack although disappointed that the hot tub was not on, after the owner asked if we would like to use it ! Overall we had a lovely quiet week, every detail for a comfortable stay has been provided.
Teresa
This is our third year of staying with you and we are never disappointed. Thanks for fixing a minor issue so promptly too, look forward to seeing you next year.
Duck House is one of the best places we have stayed in. Lovely comfy accommodation , lovely big comfy bed & a lovely secure garden for the dog. Would highly recommend
The Duck House was very comfortable and surprisingly roomy. The welcome pack was a nice surprise. The Hot Tub was a bonus although the weather restricted our use. Alison and Phil were very friendly and helpful. Despite the weather we enjoyed our stay.
Lovely 7 day break in a very lovely area
Excellent property, well equipped, very comfortable and spacious, We would certainly like to go back again.
Cottage was well equipped and comfortable. Friendly helpful owners. Quiet area. Large Tesco just up the road & lots of little village shops & farm shops in area.Great having a bit of enclosed space to let dog out last thing.

Bernard
A lovely clean modern cottage with everything you should need . A double bed if required or two singles specious rooms all round the cottage. Plenty of car parking space. Added bonus a large hot tub to relax in. Owners there but unobtrusive. Follow the location instructions to the full and you will discover heaven!
We enjoyed our stay at Duck House, good enclosed garden for our dog ,the hot tub was great. Nice welcome hamper ,and treats for the dog. All this makes a good start to the holiday . Thank you, to Phil and Alison. Beryl and Ian
Maureen
We had a lovely time at Duck House. Was very quiet and peaceful. Very central for all the different beaches we went to every day . Lovely walks around the village. Phil and Alison were brilliant hosts and left us a very nice welcome pack. Thank you .
Really comfortable cottage. Much bigger than expected. Well equipped and warm. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay with our dog. Friendly pub within walking distance. Lovely part of the world to discover from a comfortable base.
A lovely quiet place to stay. The whole of the duckhouse was immaculate, there was a lovely welcome gift of biscuits and prosecco Neither of which lasted very long Owners very good at respecting your privacy but were about if you needed them. Would certainly recommend this cottage
Duck cottage was in an ideal location for exploring the surrounding area whether inland to Norwich or spending time at the coast. The cottage is very comfortable, spacious and warm. The hot tub was such an added bonus set in the secluded garden. Owners were helpful when needed but always respected our privacy.
Great cottage. Lovely owners. Go see the seals at Horsey Gap. Looking forward to returning.
Lovely homely place very relaxing but within easy reach of lots of places to visit
Furnishings, fixtures and fittings in need of some maintenanceupgrading. The gaps in the kitchen worktops were of particular concern for obvious reasons. The toilet brush definitely needs replacing. Set in a peaceful village the property is conveniently located for visiting the broads and other places of interest. The 2 secure outside areas were ideal for our dog. Nice big bedroom with comfortable bed and plenty of storage space. Welcome pack of milk, biscuits, fizz and dog treats was lovely.
Sharon
Had a lovely stay in the Duck Cottage Lovely and peaceful and central to everything we needed to see and do. Plenty of takeaways near by and a couple of lovely pubs. Had a welcome pack to greet us on arrival, Prosecco went down a treat! Would stay again if we ever go back down that way for sure. Thank you Alison
Angela
We had a lovely time with our stay
Christine
Quiet and peaceful, good position. Well equiped and comfortable.
Stephen
The only problem we had was rubbish Internet otherwise very good. We would stay there again if Internet was sorted out.
Great place to sray
One of the best self catering premises we have stayed in. Everything you need is there, well maintained property. You have your own private secluded garden which was lonely sitting out there watching the eagles soaring overhead. Great welcoming gift as well. Would definitely recommend. Many place to see and visit nearby.
Robert
Extremely comfortable premises, clean and well maintained. Has everything you need one of the best we have stayed in. It was nice to have your own private secluded garden. A very nice well pack was enjoyed. This premises would definitely suit a person with mobility problems. Many places to visit nearby. Many thanks, Alison & Phil.
Anthony
One or two issues which the owner quickly resolved, broken chair, tray and kettle. On arrival assured that the hot tub was good with new filter,clean water.On 4th day filter warning light on, owner away, stepson reset it, hot tub now cold, we had to put heater back on ourselves, to use it on our last day.However it smelt very unclean not fit to use smelt of drainagevery disappointed. Also a bees nest in the gutter directly above hot tub. We feel owner needs to inspect property before guests arrive
Lovely place will be going back the owners are very nice and friendly
A very warm welcome from Phil on arrival. The welcome pack of Prosecco, shortbread biscuits, tea, coffee & milk was most appreciated. The Duck House was very clean & provided everything we needed for our weeks stay. One item which would be helpful in the future is a grab bar in the large shower cubicle, my husband has balance difficulties & needs a grab bar for stability. This is not a criticism but a suggestion. We did not inform Alison & Phil of this problem ahead of our stay. Despite the very cold rainy weather we had a wonderful week. Thank you.
We arrived home yesterday 21423 after a lovely stay at The Duck House from Monday to Friday. Both Alison and Phil were very friendly, polite and keen to ensure that our stay was perfect. They provided us with a great welcome pack and also arranged for the hot tub to be on ready for our arrival. This is a prime location to visit many sandy beaches and the Norfolk Broads. There is a local picnic boat hire company Herbert Woods in Potter Heigham nearby where we hired a day boat for a trip on the Broads. We had a great time here and can only give 10 out of 10 for the great holiday break we had at The Duck House.
Cosy, comfortable and the best provisioned cottage we've stayed at so far. Excellent welcome pack great friendly welcome from the owner and satisfaction check one day in.
Lovely homely cottage with everything you need, nice welcome pack on arrival and ... Lovely homely cottage with everything you need, nice welcome pack on arrival and hosts were very friendly, will probably return next year
William
Nice comfortable place very spacious , good location , and was pleasantly surprised by the generous welcome pack.
Sharron
We had a wonderful time at the Duck house, it was well equipped, clean, warm and big. It was in close proximity to the main road for travelling around the area. Two happy Chappies lol
Shirley
Absolutely lovely cottage. Owners really friendly and helpful. The cottage was spotlessly clean and really well equipped and comfortable. Very quiet and peaceful. The bed was amazing. Slept better than I have for months. Lovely area and really convenient for so many places. Will recommend to friends. Ideal for a relaxing break.
We have just had a week at The Duck House, what a little gem all you need and much more also a very thoughtful welcome gift. Very handy for visits to the coast and the Broads without to much travelling, Tesco and the fish ans chip shop very handy in Stalham, found the farm shop very over priced. You will not be disappointed with Duck House, we would highly recommend it and would love to go back
