Love the hares our second stay of 2 weeks within 4 months and we only live 19 miles away which says it all. Our second stay started with a few issues but Norfolk Hideaways were super speedy sorting it out we cant fault them as a company. As soon as new dates come free we will be rebooking. Few little niggles I have is this is the only property I have ever stayed in which doesnt even leave you a pint of milk. It should supply fuel for first fire but doesnt either which would be nice as we stayed nov and feb second hol we came with supplies. But its a lovely location nice neighbours fab birds in the garden but if im being honest wouldnt say its totally enclosed for a big dog they could jump over the back railing into the cemetary. The water is hot heating is good conservatory could benefit a comfy seat the wicker is very hard and conservatory door sticks to extreme. But these are little things we love the hares just offering constructive critism because theres nothing bad to say about it really of course close to loads of beaches and coastal pubs and lovely norfolk villages. I believe it is closing for a refurb cant wait for it to be finished to go back. Already have recommended it.

Excellent parking. We arrived just after four so nearly dark. Step up to the gate with no light so my husband tripped. No injuries. There is a light by the gate but you have to switch it on inside. Not working! No heating on at all so freezing cold and no bits available to light the fire. Otherwise once we had sorted out the heating it was ok. Nicely decorated and well presented, just a little lacking in character. Very good for the dogs.

The property is of a good size and in a good location but badly needs updating. The worst area being the "conservatory" which is falling apart with rotting woodwork and paint falling off. The sills were black mould and had numerous dead flies on them. First impressions are important and due to being asked to use the back door the conservatory in a poor state of repair is the first thing you see. The main drive upto the house is very poor and definitely not suitable for anyone with poor mobility. The oven was not clean and the washing machine had thick black mould on the rubber door seals. The lounge was of a good size (although there was bird droppings on the fire guard and heart) as was the main bedroom. Linen was of good quality as were the towels. After a call to the booking agent the owner did agree to a cleaner coming back in to clean the conservatory and oven and this was much appreciated. I think one thing lacking with the booking agent is the lack of star rating. I did offer that a representative from their company came to look at the property but this offer was not taken up. I would not use this booking agent again.
