Bracken Cottage

The cottage was quaint, the rooms were nicely decorated, the back patio area was lovely and sunny with a patio set, very private in the garden, the cottage is quite close on a road busy at times but didn't affect us with any noise, The cottage is situated perfectly for some lovely walks, near a beautiful church, farm shop and cafes also a brilliant restaurant the white horse which served lots of fresh seafood, the crab shack seafood stall was a 2 minute walk away as was the jolly sailor pub, across from the church was a range of small independent shops and a lovely farm shop attached to the fuel station. Within easy range of Wells next to the sea, Blakeney seal point and Sheringham.

Stairs, stairs, stairs! Having looked a some past reviews which in hindsight would have been better for us the stairs to this property are so steep, narrow and the tread depth is bad for anyone with any mobility issues, my 80 Yr old parents ( who are still mobile enough walking) struggled nightly to get upstairs, I was worried they'd tumble so was very concerned every time they'd need to go up, luckily the bathroom is downstairs so this lessened the need to climb them, I know this is the nature of some cottages and theres not much can be done to make them better, but I do think Booking. Com and the owners need to state in the information that the stairs are unsuitable for those with less mobility issues old or young or even small children would find them hard to get up, if my parents had been less mobile we would have come a long way on holiday and they would've have not been able to acsess their bedroom.

Location and Cleanliness.

Very small and small furnishings.

Location for walks & the pubs. Liked the deco & the extras touches the landlords left for us

The hard bed

Warm and cosy

Stairs are too steep and difficult for us to stay in accommodation . We left after one night. Road noise was also a problem.

Lovely small touches like toiletries and welcome basket. As well as towels and dressing robes. Kitchen was well equipped and perfect for a few evenings where we dined in.

The location was fantastic so close to the coastal path and White Horse

On arrival a young lady arrived with a smoke alarm which was broken She said she would get this sorted Nothing happened so I called the office and was told they knew nothing about it I made it clear I was not happy about not having a smoke alarm downstairs I was told it would be sorted When we returned on the Thursday (third day) the broken smoke alarm was on the table with no explanation On the morning we left I again called the office to be told it was broken and needed a new alarm We knew this on day one and spent our whole stay without it

Adequate for our stay. Lovely welcome basket.

Would have been very tight with 4 adults. Very steep, carpeted stairs and with downstairs bathroom this could cause an accident.
