    The property is just stunning , and perfect you can really tell that the owners really look after it . Frankie was extremely helpful. I was traveling for work so I was using this as a base to and from my locations , I was traveling alone and felt very safe and comfortable . I would return for a retreat as the surrounding area is just so lovely . I was lucky enough to see mother duck and her many ducklings while I said. The bed its so very comfortable that even asked were it was bought from ! I will be booking again

    The Parlour is absolutely amazing, spotlessly clean, has everything you could need and is in a beautiful location. Frankie's communication was excellent from the start and we can't wait to go back. Highly recommend.

    Beautiful location, stunning cottage renovated to an extremely high standard. The host and her family are so welcoming yet very respectful of your privacy. The bath is stunning and was a highlight, that with the beach only being a 10 minute walk across the road, lovely in an evening. Everything you could need to cook and relax in the kitchen too!

    Faultless , nothing we didn't like

    10/10 for everything.from the complimentary breakfast pack to the bowl of fresh fruit. The parlour was immaculate, peaceful, superb hosts, even the ducks are so friendly too, couldn't find a single fault. Can't wait to go back very soon

    My only criticism regarding the property was a lack of basic instructions for the appliances/heating for the less technical minded! Also, a mug for tea would be much appreciated after a hearty walk. I know the dinner service is cute featuring the ducks inline with the pond outside 'The Parlour' but sometimes a large cuppa is all you need! For our visit we decided to let the transport system take the strain which suited our needs this time. A car would be essential if you wanted more than a visit to the beach and farm shop.

    Frankie, our host went above and beyond when she offered to collect us from Gt Yarmouth town centre after 10pm ( a lifesaver!) The Parlour, in a country setting is exquisite with a luxurious bathroom and the most comfortable bed! Upon arrival the property was inviting, warm with the radio on, just like coming home! Snacks, breakfast supplies and beverages was a thoughtful gesture to see us through our first night/morning. The property is a 10 minute walk to the sandy beach with a convenient store across the road. Waking up to the sound of the ducks on a frosty morning was a delight! We were greeted by the cows at the farm cafe/shop and purchased fresh local produce for our stay. We enjoyed a takeaway most night's as our stay from London was to relax, unwind and breathe the wintry fresh air!

    Would have liked to have stayed longer 😀

    It was absolutely beautiful and the bed was so comfortable. It was perfect for a quiet New Years together and it was lovely being able to just park straight outside and then step into a quiet little apartment for some rest and relaxation. The bathroom was so nice for a couple and the kitchen was well stocked with some nice little touches left for check in. Was perfect for introducing my American boyfriend to the British Coast xXx

    Spotlessly clean and extremely well equipped with quality furniture. Full kitchen with dishwasher, ceramic hob, oven and microwave. Excellent welcome pack with coffee,tea and sugar provided. Dishwasher tablets, washing up liquid, breakfast items, butter, jam, bread and milk. Bathroom with rain shower and handheld, separate bath, shower gel and soap provided. Lounge dining area with sofa, table and chairs and large tv. Lovely comfortable bed, wardrobe and chair in the bedroom and small ironing board and iron and hair dryer. Fully central heated as well. Has its own internet hub. The property has been beautifully renovated and is very tastefully decorated. Parking is off the road and next to the property. Frankie is a lovely host and is very approachable if you had a problem. There is a small lake and a boat house to explore. Overall a lovely place to stay and wish we had had longer there.

    Absolutely nothing , fantastic

    We stopped in the 1 bedroom , which was fantastic overlooking the pond with ducks on it, was lovely to see them and feed them , they got so friendly they knocked on the door in a morning. Watching the bats doing a display at night , so peaceful, to sit out with a wine or two. The parlour inside was so clean and comfy, like home from home. The bedding was so crisp and white, always red hot water for a bath in the amazing tub or shower. Can't fault it. We are going again next year

    Frankie is an excellent host making sure that all the little extra’s are there for her guests. We travel from Durham and having things there when we arrive so that we didn’t have to go and do shopping for the following morning breakfast etc is a lovely touch.

    It was just as wonderful as it was last year, warm and cosy love the Christmas tree etc. The bed is so comfortable lovely feather filled pillows and quilt Best night sleep I have had in any hotel or B&B

    Nothing to dislike

    Everything was absolutely lovely. The host had left lots of goodies to get us started. Coming back after our days out knowing we could park was a massive bonus. Loved watching and feeding the ducks, even had a visit from a chicken. Frankie’s communications were brilliant. Although we didn’t have any problems we certainly felt if we needed anything she would be there.
