Hadleigh Farm Cottage Reviews

Xuguang
A nice and spacious for two persons cottage at a quiet and safe location. Very convenient to explore the nearby villages and market towns, by using public transport in particular. Bed and sofas are comfortable, and the fireplace is amazing bonus. Toiletbathroom can be beneficial from some update. In general, we have a great break staying there and didn't manage to do all planned, so may book again next year.
There are many things wrong with this cottage, the main being we had to turn the heating on to have any hot water this was reported on numerous occasions but nothing was done about it the owner clearly knew about it as the cleaner told us that this sometimes happens and how to manage it using the thermostat. In addition, no lock on the bathroom door, nowhere to hang anything coats, dressing gowns, towelling robes so not helpful when it rains as there is nowhere to put wet coats, no freezer, even though the listing stated there is a fridge freezer, there is only a fridge with an icebox, the shower only points to the ceiling so is impossible to use the property definitely needs some attention, we would not stay there again.
A comfortable cottage in pleasant surroundings nice and quiet despite being on a farm. A fan would have been appreciated given the extremes of temperature. The fridge after filling it had to be emptied and defrosted as it wouldnt work. A small saucepan and frystir pan would have been useful. The toilet seat needs repairing. Despite these issues we enjoyed our stay.
Stephen
Overall a nice clean comfortable cottage . Quiet so slept well . Near to King's Lynn so good access to facilities. Note hot water needs heating turned on over 20 degrees not really a problem but only if you know this no instructions left to tell you this only real issue .

We had a lovely time staying in this beautiful cottage. It is well equipped and comfortable. We liked the fact its so quiet and out of the way. Will definitely be looking into coming back.
Dorothy Ursula
I'm happy to recommend this cottage. It was wonderful and peaceful . exactly what we needed. Bathroom sink was the only thing I would change.
Beautiful cottage really comfortable. Had a wonderful week. Great quiet location ideal for visiting Norfolk.
The cottage was cosy though roomy enough for a family, wellequipped and comfortable. The location was peaceful and also very convenient for exploring King's Lynn, Sandringham and the north Norfolk coast. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
Lovely cottage. Warm and comfortable. Nice peaceful location. Kitchen well equipped. Plenty of space for a family of 4.
Overall a good standard of accommodation. Good base for exploring the surrounding area. Hand basin in bathroom is not the most practical for washing.
Claire
We had a lovely stay at Hadleigh Farm Cottage and with a welcome gift of milk, tea & biscuits on arrival a very much appreciated nice little touch. The cottage was exactly as described with everything we needed. A suggestion would be to add hooks on the bathroom door for towels and possibly coat hooks but other than that we thought it was perfect. We would recommend and definitely stay here again if in the area.
Wonderful stay, lovely cottage, will be back when next in the area
Richard
We found the bed was too small. And the shower was not of high standard and was not easy to get the temperature right. Also we think older people would not find it easy getting in and out of shower.Another problem was that the toilet seat moved when you sat on it.One other thing the bed side table lamp did not work but it did not bother us that much.Solve these things and you will be 5 star standard.But overall we loved the cottage.
Amanda
Second time staying, always a nice peaceful stay in the countryside near Kings Lynn and Sandringham.
The cottage is in a lovely location, but cleanliness was severely lacking we did not use the oven as the shelves were dirty. I had to clean the fridge before using it. The bathroom needs some serious work, dirty grout and mould behind the taps. The sink is not fit for purpose.
Lovely, comfortable and well equipped cottage. Great location for exploring the area.
Our second stay at Hadleigh Farm Cottage. Good base for exploring the area. WiFi is somewhat patchy. Hand basin in the bathroom isn't very practical and could do with a mirror above the hand basin. Overall a comfortable well equipped property.
We found the basin in the bathroom very small and unsuitable for washing face or shaving. We needed a smaller saucepan and more jugs. The chairs outside were rather old and rusty in places. We had a pleasant stay.
Robert
Cottage lovely very relaxing good welcome pack . Excess items removed so easy to clean Covid safe. Kitchen all equipment you needed.A problem with the hot water system when we arrived was dealt with by Claire very quickly Not a big issue but a couple of hooks in Bathroom would be good nowhere to hang clothes . Thank you for a lovely stay
The cottage itself is of a very high standard very clean, well maintained and comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked with all manner of crockery and pans, etc and the bed is lovely and comfortable. The farm is surrounded by beautiful farmland and countryside there wasnt a day went by without us seeing deer and hares, and often a barn owl! Only a few niggles which would be very easy to put right some coat hooks to hang wet coats on and a boot tidy for muddy shoes & boots would be handy, as would hooks on the back of internal doors for dressing gowns, etc. Also the bathroom could do with another wall mirror so you are not having to stand over the toilet to see in the existing cabinet mirror! Having said this, none of these issues have stopped us staying twice in this cottage and we may well return for another visit. The surrounding area is lovely and peaceful, perfect for cycling and walking, but within easy reach of the north Norfolk coast. One for Sykes the description of Gayton on the holiday description is incorrect as the Gayton referred to is in Northamptonshire! This needs rectifying. I wouldnt hesitate to recommend this lovely little cottage.
Lovely holiday and the cottage was spotlessly clean and had everything we needed. The shower was quite wobbly and kept shooting out in the wrong direction but we worked out how to control it.
The cottage had everything you would need for your visit. From the beginning of gaining access, the cottage was clean and we were welcome with a pint of milk, tea, coffee and biscuits. Exactly what you need when you arrive. A highchair was supplied for our little one, and a travel cot was on hand in case we needed it. The kitchen had everything you could think of needing, a home form home. The garden was perfect for our little ones to run around with the knowledge that they were safe. Thank you for making our stay stress free and relaxing.
Just a small thing in the description of the cottage and area, you describe the nearby village of Gayton. The Gayton you describe is not in Norfolk it is near Milton Keynes in Northampton.! The Gayton near the cottage in Norfolk is very much smaller but does have a very nice pub, The Crown, for dinner & a good fish & chip shop!! We had a lovely comfortable week in this accommodation and would not hesitate in recommending it.
Elizabeth
We spent a lovely week in Norfolk based at Hadleigh Farm Cottage. It was beautifully furnished, clean and well maintained, had all the crockery and utensils you could possibly need. The WiFi was a little hit and miss at times, but this wasnt a problem for us. It was a good base for exploring north Norfolk, Ely, Kings Lynn and Cambridge. We spent a lovely day on Heacham beach, which was about the quietest beach along that coastline, everywhere else was surprisingly very busy! Although there was a little bit of activity as it is a working farm, we had many peaceful afternoons in the garden. Would highly recommend this cottage.
The cottage was well presented and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. It was in a peaceful location and ideal for what we wanted to do, we had a lovely relaxing time. We would highly recommend.
Vivien
The temperature of the water was not hot enough to wash the dishes and the shower went cool whilst showering. We presumed this might have been set low to prevent scalding, but it was a little too low. The shower head kept falling off the holder and hence the water shot everywhere before you could grab it! This is not a complaint, the cottage was absolutely fine, just thought I would draw their attention to this minor issue. We enjoyed our stay here, we were very comfortable. Would definitely book with Sykes cottages again.
Beautiful, quiet location,well appointed cottage. The only thing we missed was a clock in the lounge!
