We had a fantastic time at The Old Bakehouse. A really well-appointed cottage, beautifully decorated inside. We were welcomed by some delicious treats on the kitchen table and the owner was incredibly helpful when we needed anything. You can walk to the beach in under 5 minutes and there is a bus stop right outside the front gates, so it couldn't be easier to get into local Cromer or head the other way to North Walsham. Not having off-road parking does make it tricky at times to find somewhere to park on a busy summer day, but most other properties in Overstrand have the same problem. It's a w...more
A relaxing holiday in the lovely village of Overstrand. The property is ideally placed in a quiet located with a two minutes walk to the beach and the high street, with a regular bus service from the village. The village is central to explore the north east Norfolk area.
The property was spotlessly clean, with an excellent provision of equipment for a comfortable stay.
We would certainly recommend this property for a stay in this part of the country.
The cottage was warm and welcoming, comfortably furnished and well equipped. We stayed here several times 15 years ago and twice in recent weeks and the standard had not declined at all. The owner responded promptly to a query I raised and was friendly and helpful. We enjoyed our time there. The only concern We had was climbing in and out of the over bath shower, a step and a handrail would make it easier for those of us of a certain age and having short legs!
We had a wonderful, peaceful time, in this lovely cottage, and will definitely be returning. We are hoping to enjoy the lovely garden, when the weather has perked up!
Stayed with Poppyland cottages in Overstrand a few times before, but the first time at Rectory cottage for this short getaway. It’s a lovely, well equipped cottage in a great location, close to the seafront and village amenities. Overstrand is a lovely village, and a great base for a holiday in the area. The August weather was perfect, so we had breakfast at the Cliff top cafe a couple of mornings and also had dinner at the White Horse pub in the village…. Both recommended.
Back to Rectory cottage. We checked in without any problems, and the welcome pack a great touch. We were really impresse...more
This was a return visit for us. The cottage is so peaceful and has some beautiful dog walks within easy reach.
The beds are so comfortable and the cottage has all the amenities needed for a comfortable stay.
The only negative was the lack of functioning wifi. I do believe this is being sorted.
