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.
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 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.
We chose this property as it was in a good location for walking and cycling. The house was small but perfectly adequate for a couple. It was well equipped and cosy despite the winter weather.
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.
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 .
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.
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.
I used the cottage for two nights as a base for hair and make up on my wedding day and also as accommodation for two of my bridesmaids. Kate checked us in and came to get a photo of me in my dress! She is such a lovely person and was there to help with anything we mightâve needed. A highlight for me was the little cat I met in the garden, such a sweetie. Thank you so much!
Quirky little cottage. Very clean and very well equipped. Stayed there with our eleven year old. Beautiful area of the country and lots to do and explore. Would absolutely stay there again.
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.
