Positioned right in the heart of Fakenham, known as the gateway to Norfolk due to its easy reach of coastal towns and villages such as Wells-next-the-sea, Holkham, Brancaster, Burnham Market, Holt, Cromer and Sheringham, which are all between 15-30min drive, Cromwell Cottage is the perfect base for a relaxing Norfolk escape.
Please note, due to its age, whilst the property has stunning 9-12ft ceilings on the ground and first floor, the staircases are very steep and there is reduced height access at the top floor on entering the room and then separating the bedroom and ensuite. This may make it unsuitable for those with reduced mobility and young children

Taryn M. Aug 30, 2024 01:32:04 AM
Summary: A short stay to explore the Norfolk coast. I loved the attention to detail and decor of the cottage. If you like historic buildings then this place is for you! The top floor room has an old beam across it and is a struggle to get into but the kids liked it so that was a win. The cottage is quite dark inside and just enough social space for two adults and two kids. The courtyard garden is lovely and a great sun trap. Thanks for having us.
Gillian C. Jul 21, 2024 05:12:38 PM
Summary: Amazing little cottage in the heart of Fakenham. I extremely comfortable and has all amenities required
Angela P. Jul 8, 2024 09:30:55 PM
Summary: Very attractive and cosy historic accommodation. Beds very comfortable, decor was lovely. Charming courtyard for meals and coffee etc. Host was readily available to smooth over any checking in issues. As a whole house, it was extremely good value for money.

Summary: We arrived fairly late…but as soon as we opened the front door, the heating had been put on and a fire had been lit, plus a beautiful Christmas tree was up x very welcoming Thank you for a wonderful few days in a beautiful house

Summary: Nice property. Town a little short on resources but lots to see do nearby.
David M. Oct 14, 2022 09:54:19 PM
Summary: We enjoyed our stay at Cromwell cottage, using it as a base to tour Norfolk. Clean, comfortable with garden area and with the sun shining for us, the garden was a great place to chill over a glass of wine, or was it two? Most streaming services on the TV was an added bonus, as was the welcome pack and local attraction details. Communication with Jodie was excellent and downloading the app to link door entry to our phones was a doddle. Recommend the cottage for a peaceful and quiet stay. The stairs are steep as others have said but not a problem if you can walk freely. Fakenham isn't the prettiest of Norfolk towns but we were there for market day (Thursday) and that was worth a stroll around. Book sale in the local church on market day had some great bargains. Local pubs fair to middling though food at Sculthorpe Mill was very good, but pricey £24 (for the rump steak which was beautifully cooked and very tender). Local chippy very good if you fancy eating in. One warning if you're over 6 foot, be careful walking through the cottage doors. It's a case of duck or grouse and I did three times. Whether the grousing knocked any sense into me remains to be seen :-)

Summary: Perfect base for exploring North Norfolk. Characterful property. Ideal for 2 but there is a compromise to consider if there are 4. The staircase to the attic room is as steep as a ladder and the access to the en suite in that room is under a beam which is not much higher than 4 ft 6". That's the only potential downside to be aware of. The outside space is very nice.
Penelope K. Sep 27, 2022 06:02:14 PM
Summary: After mastering the locking mechanism we were very pleased with the whole property, which was quaint and full of history. Beautifully furnished and well appointed, centre of Fakenham. Only downside, which we knew, was the steepness of the stairs! Easily managed though!

Summary: It was a beautiful place. Decorated lovely. Couldnt of asked for more
Janet T. Jul 7, 2022 08:32:51 PM
Summary: The cottage was delightful and a lovely base for the area, close to local amenities and surrounded by glorious countryside and not far from the amazing beaches.
