Went here for a wedding and what a lovely place the rooms or lodgings are beautiful and we had a great time. Fully recommend this place
I can't recommend this cottage highly enough. A generous welcome package, super comfy beds, idyllic setting, very clean and tastefully decorated....the perfect place to rest and unwind! The host is also super helpful and welcoming.
Idyllic! Lovely little cottage and garden. Two minutes from town. Lots to do in surrounding villages. Would love to come back.

The lodge we stayed in was very clean and tidy upon arrival. The interior is beautiful and unique. It had a lovely homely feel to it. The bed was very comfortable and the bedroom was very spacious. The hot tub was clean and easy to use! The outdoor area was fenced all the way around - this made us regret not bringing our dogs! It would have been perfect for them. The TV has Netflix and the wife worked well with this. There is a lovely nearby pub (the crown inn). 10/10 stay, we can’t wait to go back!

Stayed at the Manor House for a weekend. A party of 14 adults 1 child and 2 toddlers. Wow a lovely house well equipped and clean. The only downside was the large living room and bedrooms were cold in the evenings. Maybe the heating timer hadn't been changed since the clocks went back, as the radiators came on about 5am. We couldn't get the woodburner to light without filling the room with smoke ( we all have woodburners so we did know what we were doing.)so we used the fire in the smaller living room which was very cosy. The shower in the main bedroom wouldn't get hot. No other rooms had the same issue though. The aga kept the kitchen warm. None of had used one before so that was a bit of an adventure but we managed a full blown roast. We would definitely recommend it and would love to stay again.

A family party of 13 stayed at the Henhouse for a week. The property is absolutely fabulous and we all had a great time. It was very clean with a well equipped kitchen and really nice bedding.

Hunstanton and Wells are easy to get to, and we had a great day out at ROARR!

The owner popped over for a chat one day to see how everything was, which was really good.

There was a wedding on the Wednesday but not overly noisy. One of the guests had parked in one of our designated spaces but the staff were great and got them to move (the guest was vile but that’s not Manor Mews’ issue).

Would definitely go back (and probably would have rebooked but no full weeks available in August next year).

We had a fantastic stay at the hen house. There was 6 adults 4 children and was plenty of room for us all. The barn is beautiful (but comfortable enough you for feel too on edge with 4 children!!) The staff were all lovely and the barn caters for everything you could want. Location is great as there was a beautiful walk from the barn and a longer walk to a wonderful pub. We visited the beach at Wells next the sea most days which is a wonderful sandy beach with plenty of space, lovely walks and an amazing cafe (plus a joules for any last minute beach wear shopping!!) We would definitely return as was such a wonderful place to holiday!

Great setting and local to lots of attractions, loved it
Amazing place. Lovely owners. Stunning surroundings. Peaceful break from city jungle
Lovely cottage. Very spacious, lots of room for our whole family and well equipped. Fabulous location, Swaffham is a nice little market town and the beach is around half an hour drive. Easy parking, home from home and a great base for a family holiday.

Lovely little cottage has everything you need only 2 issues really strong smelling air fresheners everywhere irritated my nose and throat had to put them outside and very steep stairs. The cottage is warm and comfortable and conveniently located to Swaffham market square where there are a variety if shops and places to eat and drink
Even with the not so pleasant weather this hut was a delight to stay in, kitted with plenty to keep you warm! The snack box on arrival was a very cute touch and the breakfast was lovely too! And being woken up by a beautiful sunrise made me very happy 🤩 Overall a lovely stay and a very welcoming, friendly host!
Lovely cottage and hosts. Perfect location to explore Norfolk and Suffolk. Spacious grounds so good for kids. Welcome pack of jam eggs and baking was gorgeous. Amenities in village and plenty of places to eat out near by. Cottage clean and comfy and very welcoming.
Our second time here and it is somewhere we would want to go every year! Karon the host is extremely welcoming and kind, the hut is secluded, cosy, aesthetic and a lovely getaway. Great amenities with lots of ways to cook some food and sit outside with a drink and a book whilst enjoying the countryside. Would thoroughly recommend. Great places nearby to checkout like Watatunga Reserve, Gooderstone Water Gardens, Oxburgh Hall, etc.

A peaceful bolt hole from the stress of everyday life. A home from home. Comfortable bed, clean & a welcome to tea, coffee, milk & biscuits. Friendly & approachable proprietors. We couldn't recommend this more. Looking forward to returning soon.

Outstanding cottage with wonderful owners. The welcome collection of home baked bread, cakes, scones, jam, marmalade, eggs from their chickens, 4 pints of milk and a pack of real butter couldn’t get you off to a better start! WiFi is great, 3 toilets, shower upstairs and downstairs bath. It’s just fabulous.
