Lovely cottage, friendly host. Good location for exploring rural Norfolk. Good availability of shops and a supermarket in Aylsham just 3 miles away. Will stay here again.
A stunning Norfolk cottage and an ideal peaceful country getaway. We had a wonderful weekend away and loved all the original features of this traditional 200 year old property alongside the comfortable additions of modern living. The location suited us perfectly to reach a lovely seal beach at Horsey Gap and trip to Great Yarmouth. Norwich wasn't far away and we walked along the river there on our first evening. There's a great fish and chip shop in the next village at Buxton, only a short drive. The cottage has everything youâll need in the form of appliances, including a dishwasher and washing machine. The shower is lovely and powerful, very relaxing after a day on the beach. The bedrooms are larger than expected with comfortable beds. The three of us, found the property had plenty of space for us all. Our daughter didnât mind having an adjoining room. You will find your stay very cosy and welcoming. Parking isnât far from the cottage, it is opposite Street Farm entrance on The St next to the paper and bottle recycling containers which we made use of. Highly recommended accommodation. We will definitely come back again.
An absolutely charming traditional cottage within driving distance of the Norfolk Showground. Fiona was extremely helpful and accommodating and has furnished the cosy cottage to a high standard, keeping its original features and authenticity.Highly recommend her property
Lovely old cottage full of character. Would be nice to have some essential s left like tea bags, sugar, towels etc, especially as we often travel by motorcycle.
The well equipped and cozy cottage is well situated for visiting coastal and inland attractions and yet is located in a peaceful village setting, making for a relaxing and enjoyable holiday.
The cottage had heat and hot water. Some of the Electrical Appliances and furniture needed updating. And it should be explained that the stairs are very narrow and not suitable for anyone with a disability.
we stayed 3 nights in October, the cottage is beautiful and rustic, very well equipped with all you could need or want, parking is not a problem as there is a large lay by/pull in 20 yards from the cottage well off the lane. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you Fiona.
The cottage was everything we could have wished for.Cute period cottage with some original features.There was everything that we needed for our stay.Small sunny garden to relax in
Fiona the owner was lovely and couldnât do enough for us.Will definitely visit again .
All the neighbours were very friendly and gave us information on places to go.
The property , was has described , clean and tidy well located . The only problem my wife and I had . Was the heating was not on when we arrived and we had problems with it while we were here . Hot water wasnât on long enough . Overall this place needs some loving care and attention . A combo boiler would be more efficient and give consent hot water . A welcome pack would have been nice and bath towels provide would be good too. Maybe we have been spoilt in the past . Hope Fiona takes this on board going forward it would make this property a 1st class accommodations while keeping the authentic Look of the property . Location spot on . Maybe the little bit of land beside the house could be tidied up and made into a car parking space .
Although the cottage appears small, there was pretty much every amenity inside (we only found the hair dryer when we were leaving). We did a wash half way through our two week stay and it dried really quickly as the cottage was so cosy and warm.
It was a great base for exploring Norfolk. We are keen birdwatchers so could get to Cley quite easily (where we also so an otter) and even managed a 6.30am start at Snettisham to witness a spectacular Knot murmuration.
Enjoyed the independent cinema in Cromer and loved Sculthorpe Owl and Hawk reserve.
Tried to see the aurora as quite dark skies in Bramford but unfortunately wasn't successful.
Fiona was lovelyn nothing to much trouble for her.The cottage is old and quirky but lovely. It was ideal for us as a retired couple a lovely quiet place, a very pretty village with very friendly people.we canât thank Fiona enough.we was very intrigued with the curly stairs lovely stone floors throughout the ground floor a beautiful property.
The cottage suited our needs for a late booked weekend away. Unfortunately it was quite tired and also needed a good clean. I wouldnât recommend it to anyone else.
Fiona and Tim Scott worked as schoolteachers in Derbyshire for many years, but are now retired and live permanently in Trinity Cottage (which is attached to Dove Cot). They bought the cottage many years ago for holidays, partly because Tim is from Norwich and they had both always loved Norfolk, but also because it filled all their needs for family holidays, situated as it is near the sea, the Broads, Norwich and the wonderful countryside and bird sanctuaries of North Norfolk.
We bought Trinity cottage and its annexe cottage (now Dove Cot) when we first married, as we lived in a school house and wanted somewhere to go in the holidays. We chose Norfolk because we both loved the area, and enjoy walking, cycling, and other outdoor pursuits, as well as the wonderful fresh air and good weather. Brampton is a very pretty village nestling near the water meadows of the Bure River, just 3 miles from the beautiful historic market town of Aylsham and 11 miles from the stunning mediaeval city of Norwich.
Dove Cot was built in the 18th century in flint and Norfolk clay lump, with brick facing. The property is renovated to a high standard whilst retaining all the character of such a historic building. The cottage is centrally heated, but also has an open fire in the sitting room. The staircase is rather steep and twisty (so possibly not suitable for the very elderly), but the whole building exudes charm and cosiness. The surroundings are beautiful and particularly peaceful, as Brampton is not on a 'through' road.
