Based on our experience with the Harrison Holiday Home in Florida - our guests are always keen to share little snippetts about their stay and what they got up to. We've found the 'on-line guest book' to be an invaluable resource - and here's where we'll be looking forward to our guests sharing some of their best experiences of Snettisham Cottage and the local Norfolk area with others.

The Harrisons.

What a wonderful surprise to arrive on Friday and find this “Tardis” house (and so well stocked). We were lucky to have lovely weather in our week and enjoyed the Farm Park with the little ones and beachcombing on Heacham beach. We enjoyed several walks around the village and a few games of football on the park behind the cottage. We also had a BBQ one evening.

The cottage has really made our holiday though so thank you for that, we really hope to be back. Still haven’t made it to the Rose & Crown which looked lovely. Found some real gems in the charity shop in Snettisham.
P.S. Go to the fish stall at the BP garage it’s fabulous.

We endorse comments of previous guests (Warren Family). We can’t blame mine hosts for the poor weather – everything else was great. We have had a thoroughly enjoyable stay at the cottage, it was so cosy, comfortable and incredibly well equipped! Obviously due to the fact that it is a third home for you. We may well be tempted to visit you again maybe in the summer – we shall see.

Anyway, many thanks again for creating such a welcoming bolt-hole – we loved it!

Kind regards

Many thanks Bernard & Hazel for making us so welcome. We have enjoyed our week very much. The cottage is lovely, roomy and the best stocked accommodation we have ever stayed in. It is a real home from home and we felt comfortable the moment we entered. We hope to return again soon.

We have just arrived back in Preston after enjoying a brilliant week in your cottage. Thank you for allowing us to share your haven in Snettisham. What a lovely house, it really is a Tardis with so much space and so homely. The area is delightful and we found every day packed with interest, lots to do and plenty to see. We’ve had a fantastic holiday and you made us feel very welcome. We certainly will be delighted to return in the future.

Wishing you and your family a Happy Christmas!

Thank you

We had a lovely time, liked the Cottage and Snettisham very much.  Weather amazingly hot first week, so spent lots of time on the beach; Old Hunstanton and Brancaster particularly recommended. New Farm shop, Carter’s at Great Bircham excellent for free range cooked meat, wine and their delicacies.
Thank you for “lending us” your elegant and comfortable holiday house.  We hope to come back next year!

Lovely Cottage.  Everything you could possible want is in the cottage.  Snettisham is a lovely village and you can see why people want live and visit here.  The weather wasn’t the best but we found plenty to do.  Dinosaur World is fantastic.
Would love to come back soon.

We had a super holiday with wonderful weather.  We spent lots of time on the lovely beaches and particularly liked Brancaster Beach.  Would recommend, “Dinosaur Adventure” on the way to Norwich for those with young children.  We spent a whole day searching for Dinos!!
You have a lovely holiday home, thank you for sharing it with us.

Just returned from our week’s holiday at your cottage and wanted to let you know what a great time we had. You cottage is a fantastic place, really home from home and supplied everything we needed.

My Dad really enjoyed his 80th birthday at the cottage as you will see from his comments in your Visitors Book! He’s even left you a present - four egg cups!

Thank you for our holiday at Snettisham Cottage. We had a really good time and found the cottage very comfortable with everything we needed.

P.S. Thanks for posting my Mother-in–Laws earrings on to us, they are her favourites.

We had a lovely relaxing week at your cottage. The peaceful surroundings made it seem like we were stepping back in time, especially the Steam Train trip and the restored Railway Station which we all thoroughly enjoyed. The cottage is a “Tardis”, we had no idea it was so large, it seems to go on and on!

Thank you for helping us to join the sailing club.

Lee and Family (Ashwell, Hertfordshire)

We very much enjoyed our stay at the cottage, and appreciated the space for the family. We were very impressed with the amount of equipment available.

We enjoyed exploring the area around Snettisham and we had two enormous meals at the Feathers in Dersingham! The weather could have been better but the children went on the beach most days and we ended with a glorious day on Holme Beach on the last Friday.

With all best wishes and thank you again for the use of the cottage.

Thank you for a wonderful week at your Snettisham Cottage, Norfolk last week. My extended family and I thoroughly enjoyed the cottage as a base for our travels around North Norfolk.

Your comments in the “Welcome” folder helped us a lot when looking for areas to visit as neither of us had been in that area since young childhood.

Your cottage accommodation was excellent and we all felt in an “at home” environment and made a nice change from the usual places we stay at, so much so we may visit again in the future.

Thank you once again

We had a one week holiday in Snettisham Cottage during a baking hot July 06. The accommodation was very clean and of good quality, in a peaceful and quiet location. All facilities for a home from home holiday are in place, and we can recommend this holiday home to anyone. Personal service and customer care by telephone from the Harrison family was very good.

Gary & Elaine (Worksop, Nottinghamshire)

We had a very good holiday with all the family; our sons and their wives plus two grandchildren. The weather was perfect and the house beautifully equipped everything we needed. The grandchildren enjoyed the toys and the three-wheeled buggy proved very useful.

Thank you very much for allowing us to stay in your Snettisham Cottage.

Yours sincerely

Ray and Pat (Ilford, Greater London)

We really enjoyed our week at Snettisham Cottage. The cottage was very clean, well equipped and felt like a real home from home. The weather was very good and we enjoyed having breakfast and evening drinks in the walled garden. The care and attention shown by The Harrisons at each stage of our holiday arrangements was second to none and we look forward to returning very soon.

If you have never been to North Norfolk before - Snettisham is a good centre for sight-seeing and Snettisham Cottage is a delightful retreat to come back to each evening.

Just a short note to say how comfortable we were staying at “Snettisham Cottage”.
As you said, it is a home rather than the usual holiday house one expects. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there with all the comforts of home. Perhaps most of all, we will remember your thoughtful telephone contact on our first evening to confirm that we had arrived safely and had no problems.

Wishing you every success.

Yours sincerely,

The Dalrymple Family. (Stratford-Upon-Avon), Warwickshire

We had a lovely week, the cottage was just perfect. A real homely feel hits you immediately as you walk in. It was spotlessly clean and really well equipped. The weather couldn’t have been better. The only downside was we had to leave it and return to work!

Best wishes

Thank you for letting us use the cottage for the week-end, it was lovely, very peaceful and so well equipped, a real “home from home”. Close to the coast and plenty of places to visit. Weather was great and we loved the walled garden, especially with a cold beer to drink!

Would love to return again later in the year!

We all really enjoyed our week at Snettisham Cottage. Lovely and warm and comfortable. A good start to the week weather-wise turning to rain but didn’t stop us enjoying our week in North Norfolk.

Thanks

I would like to express on behalf of all our party what a wonderful time we all had at Snettisham Cottage and how warm and comfortable we all were.

A New Year break we will always remember!
Thanking you once again.

Thank you for letting us stay in your beautiful home. We very much hope we will be able to use it again soon as we had such a lovely time.

We had a most enjoyable week (weather quite good too!) and all agreed it is a most delightful cottage, so well equipped and in a lovely area. We used all the rooms except the children's bedroom as the youngsters moved the cot into their room after the first night. We were very warm and comfortable.
Thanks again for everything.

We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday in your lovely cottage. Everything went according to plan - even the weather was more than kind to us. It just went too quick. Hope to rent your cottage sometime again in the not too far future.
