Lemon drop cottage

Wonderful stay at a beautiful property, great host, lovely views

My wife and I had a lovely time staying at Lemon Drop Cottage. The house was very well appointed, with beautiful views across the fields. Nice and big secure garden for our dog to play in. Lesley was a wonderful host, helpful and made us feel very welcome. Bottle of bubbly was a very nice and generous welcome gift, we'd happily recommend to anyone to stay and we'll for sure be booking another stay in the future.

Beautiful Property in Lovely location

The property was very clean & very comfortable in a peaceful location, the garden has lovely views across fields and is totally secure which was perfect for our dog. Lesley the host had provided some very thoughtful provisions including coffee, milk, biscuits, and a bottle of "bubbly", we thoroughly enjoyed our short stay and would love to return soon.

Beautiful and relaxing getaway

Lesley was so helpful, she explained the history of the place. The cottage was well stocked. We didn't have to buy milk ,coffee etc Lemon drop cottage is perfect for couple or small family. We had a wonderful stay, the place was clean and decorated with details. The view is beautiful to sit and have your morning coffee, definitely recommend staying here. We wished we had a longer stay.Thank you

Excellent accommodation

Arrived at this pretty little cottage with our one and half year old son and puppy. Property was cleaned thoroughly and Lesley was very accommodating. There was plenty of room in the garden for playtime and a bottle of Prosecco in the fridge. It was a nice day and there always seemed to be a spot for the sun. The living room is cosy especially with the fire on in the evening. Hope to be back to see the deer with her 2 little Bambis running across the fields again.

Fabulous property

This was the perfect cottage for our short break. The lounge was spacious and comfortable with a lovely cozy fire, and the kitchen had everything we could possibly need. Spotlessly clean and tastefully decorated, it was a really lovely space to relax and unwind. We enjoyed walks at Thetford Forest, and the large secure garden was great for the dog. Lesley welcomed us on arrival and showed us round the cottage, including the lovely welcome goodies which were appreciated. We look forward to returning for a longer stay in the future!
