Brilliant place to stay.

Pool was a hit especially with our 7 year old!
Good location to see lots of things - the seals at Horsey gap are a must plus the 1940`s tea room.
Thank you for allowing us to stay xxx
Here with family - very spacious comfortable accommodation, out and about all week.
Had a lovely time & would love to come back.

You really have thought of everything we might need or want.
The pool is fantastic.

Matt, Jo & Kay, 

We had a lovely restful time in an exceptional barn conversion.
The pool was, of course, a wonderful addition to the accommodation.
We did some excursions to the coast but our main objective was rest and relaxation and Oak Farm Cottage certainly helped us achieve this.
Thank you John & Karen for sharing with us.

Stuart, Janet, Tara and David,

Bunting and Brocklebank families, 

Home from home, but better - can we swap!!
What a wonderful base - John & Karen`s attention to detail is beyond belief.
Combined with a beach hut at Wells Next-The -Sea and really good weather, it has been a remarkable holiday.
It has been a perfect holiday base(the pool has been a very special extra) but would be happy to have had an "adult holiday" with older friends.
There is so much more we want to do and see.
Would recommend to anyone & look forward to our next visit.
Thank you.

The Sheridan Family, 

This is our second time in this beautiful cottage.
The pool has been enjoyed each day and is a fabulous extra.

Many thanks Karen and John for the welcome pack and the treats,
Altogether a super holiday.

The Smith Family Nottingham and London, 

3 families on their 4th, 3rd and 2nd visits respectively, so you can see how much we love Oak Farm Cottage.
We did some old favourites (Wells Beach hut, the broads, Walsingham-Wells railway & crabbing at Blakeney) also visited some new attractions - Dinosaur Roar, Wizard Maze & Muckleburgh.
The rest of our time was spent in the pool.
Just checking our diaries to see when we can come next year!
Thank you Karen & John

A superb holiday let in a ideal location to visit the North of Norfolk.

The Todds, 

We have just returned from a lovely stay at Oak Farm Cottage. The cottage was very clean, well equipped and very comfortable. John and Karen were very welcoming and the hamper and toiletries they provided were nice little touches. The private outdoor space and the use of the indoor swimming pool were fabulous. 
We spent most mornings in the pool and the afternoons exploring Norfolk. Our favourites were Holkham hall for the playground and the walks and Wiverton hall for a relaxed afternoon. There is a lovely walk to Blakeney from the grounds of Wiverton hall and by chance when we arrived back to Wiverton hall it was pizza night from the wood fired oven. Highly recommended.
Thank you for a lovely stay.
