Summary: We have stayed at Red Roofs a number of times & it is the most relaxing cottage that we have booked for both ourselves & our dog. We stayed over the Xmas period & it was a delight to see the Christmas tree lights twinkling as we arrived. The welcome pack was excellent & we had the surprize bonus of the owner dropping off a tin of home made mince pies mid stay.

Summary: Felt so chilled & relaxed from the moment we arrived. Fantastic welcome pack. Ideal location for dog walking (& dog friendly beaches a short drive away), bird watching or just enjoying the view over the broad. Now the Pleasure boat Inn has reopened there are 2 dog friendly pubs within walking distance. East Rushton Cottages is by far the friendliest & most helpful letting agency I have dealt with

Summary: Red Roofs has a very special place in all of our hearts. This visit was our 9th.... All of our big family have stayed at one time or another. Jane and her team always prepare the house sooo very very well for visitors. And she herself is always full of kindness and joy if ever she pops in whilst we're there. We thank her for her continued attention to details for our comfort. And also a huge thank you to her for unloading and packing away our rather massive Waitrose grocery order on the Saturday morning before our arrival.

Summary: We felt very welcome in this house. It was comfortable and had everything we needed. The garden was amazing, our dogs were very spoilt. We had 5 adults and 2 dogs in the house and all had our own space.We used the fab bbq nearly every day. The broad is just across the road. You see so many different birds and boats going by. The village is lovely and you are in easy reach of boat yards and the coast. Also you can walk to two pubs!

Summary: Just returned from a fantastic week at Red Roof, we loved the location right on Hickling Broad. The Gardens front and back are huge and extremely well maintained. We took 3 dogs, 1 of them an escapologist we appreciated the rear Garden was absolutely secure and we were able to relax and let them out unsupervised. The House is large and very comfortable , the furniture and carpet are dated however everything is there that you need and you do not have to worry about the Dog jumping on the settee so makes for a very relaxing holiday. The house comes complete with a rowing boat which we took advantage of and enjoyed a lovely sunny morning on the Broad. Very generous Welcome Pack on arrival. Circular Country Walk perfect for the Dogs right outside the front Door. Thank You Jane for having us.

Summary: Our 2nd stay at Red Roofs and we enjoyed it as much as the first time. The location is stunning, right on the broads and can’t be beaten. The views and scenery are amazing. Only a short walk or drive to the NWT Hickling nature reserve too, where we saw numerous Swallowtail butterflies. All the local amenities are a short drive away and there’s lots of dog friendly beaches to choose from. Good dog walks straight from the door. The house itself is comfortable with lots of room and the garden is huge! Perfect for dog zoomies. Nice gas BBQ in the garden and a table and chairs. Recommendations: Martham Ferry electric boat hire / Broadland Fish & Chips in Stalahm / A.G. Meale farm shop in Stalham / Fair Maiden fish shop in Happisburgh. Also thanks to Jane the owner for the very generous welcome goodies.

Summary: What an absolutely beautiful location, with wonderful views across Hickling Broads, it is so peaceful with hardly anyone walking past and hardly any traffic. We stayed for a week, the weather was mixed but the house was welcoming and comfortable. Red Roofs is a little 'dated' in its decor, but it was warm and cosy, with enough sofas for two dogs and two humans that like to spread out, plenty of hot water and an open fire, not that we needed to use it as the heating did a good job. The kitchen has everything you need, if a little small but the dining room has plenty of space. The view from the upstairs bedroom is gorgeous and sitting outside listening to birds and nothing else was just lovely. We loved the location, everyone we met was super friendly and understanding of our 'I need space' anxious girl. Stunning walks, beach dunes and we enjoyed eating at The Greyhound, The Ingham Swan (dogs outside only, it was a lovely day) and The Gunton Arms (husband is a foodie).

Summary: What a wonderful location! My husband and I and a friend arrived with our two dogs and were thrilled at the location - so peaceful with amazing views across Hickling Broad. The house has a dated charm that immediately made us feel at home and was very comfortable, plus the very large secure back garden was a total hit with our new Spanish galgo rescue, whose favourite thing is playing fetch. The description stated there was a barbecue, but it wasn’t out when we arrived. However, a quick message to Jane the owner and on our return after a trip to the beach, the garden chairs, parasol and barbecue were in place, with an apology saying the weather had taken her by surprise! The house is so well equipped for dogs and humans alike, including plenty of games to keep young children amused. Our visit was May, but can imagine it would be a wonderful place to have a large family Christmas, with the open fire in the lounge.

Summary: Had a lovely stay here at Red Roofs, 4 adults, 2 children, 1dog. Plenty of space and an awesome sized fully enclosed garden. Lovely large upstairs main bedroom and bathroom away from the main areas - so grandparents could escape to peace and quiet and an awesome view of Hickling Broad. The furnishings are old and sturdy and it was great knowing that the children could do no damage while running about. Kitchen again a little old fashioned but has everything that you could possibly need. It was great having family meals in the separate dining room. Two of the three downstairs bedrooms are tucked away towards the end of the building so children could get to sleep and not be disturbed by the grown ups in the main sitting room. The welcome pack far exceeded our expectations with a wonderful home made sponge with all our goodies, thank you. We also appreciated the plentiful supply of tea, coffee, dishwasher tabs, tea towels and lots of throws for the sofas. Thank you for a gorgeous company stay.
