Stayed here with two other friends from 25th - 31st July 2015. Clean and comfortable. Located in the country along a narrow road. Very quiet and peaceful. Well equipped. As owners were away for their summer holidays we were allowed to park in their driveway. Otherwise you need to park on the side of the road. Only negatives were no washing machine, a dead spot as far as mobile phone is concerned and there was no broom to sweep the floor. A bit difficult for a 70 year old to sweep the floor with a dustpan and brush. Nevertheless we had a wonderful time exploring the area with the cottage as our base.

1 review Travelled with husband, two sons plus girlfriends. The cottage suited our needs, a 3 night stay to go to a family reunion. Lovely location, friendly owner-liked the flapjack! Friendly neighbours lots of wildlife on doorstep including 3 hens who demanded breakfast on a morning, birds in owners garden on birdfeeder and great crested grebe with chick on nearby fishing lake, also lots of flowers and interesting hedgerows, would have been happy to stay longer. My son found a feather pillow ( he thinks) anti-allergy pillows and duvets are better as some of us suffer allergies (son and me to feathers) Not sure whether this cottage will be available for long as up for sale.

A fantastic host , we got fresh flowers and cake .. Tanya had supplied the basic like tea, coffee and milk .. Which was gratefully received .
The cottage was perfect for 6 ladies in a horse riding holiday . We had a lovely BBQ , sat outside in peace and quiet after a busy day ..
Rooms were a lovely size .. And plenty of space for our luggage
It was a pretty quaint cottage
Lots of hot water morning and night .. in fact overal the cottage was 12 out of 10 !!! Thank you x

I hope you found Thetford Forest a great place to visit with your horses, and that you might come back and explore some more another time.

The photos on the website are not reflective of the cottage, very disappointed,everything was shabby and dirty. The windows were dirty inside and outside, the yard was dirty and overgrown.
The house looked delapidated. Inside the bedroom had black mould on the walls, cobwebs were hanging from walls,lights curtains and blinds. The fire blanket was thick with grease, as was the sides of the cooker. The bathroom had large cracks in the wall, more mould and spiders webs under the toilet, and on the ceiling. We left after 2 nights of our weeks booking, the ants and foisty smell were too much.

If you had told me of your concerns when I met you, I could have rectified many of them while you were enjoying the local amenities. As you know, I have refunded your entire week's payment, despite the fact that you did stay for two nights.
My guests who stayed both immediately before and after you both commented on what a nice time they spent here at Willow Holt, and I am sorry that you did not have the same experience.
1 review Enjoyed a great short trip at this lovely cottage down a quiet country lane. Cottage was modern-looking inside, had a cosy feel, but also blended in as a rustic country cottage. Would definitely recommend if you are looking for a quiet, tranquil stay out in the middle of the country, where you will probably not meet a soul. A car is in an essential if you want to go anywhere as the nearest village of Hockwold is 2 miles away.
