“I had a lovely time in Kingfisher, I was looking for somewhere to relax and spend some quiet days and that is exactly what I got.”

The cottage was clean, warm, well stocked, bed really comfy. Lots of places to walk. Owners on site were helpful - would definitely like to go back again.

Marion August 2024

“Kingfisher is a really lovely cottage.”

Lucinda and Paul are very friendly hosts and a welcome tray of homemade cake and coffee was much appreciated. Located within easy reach of Diss and Bury St Edmunds and many places of interest within easy travelling distance. The small patio and garden with birdfeeder is quite idyllic with the lovely pond at the bottom of the garden. The cottage has everything one could need for their holiday. We were lucky to have fabulous weather and look forward to a return visit.

Elaine August 2024

“Very friendly and helpful hosts, and a thoroughly enjoyable and relaxing break.”

The cottage and the surrounds were beautiful, and we could have watched the birds in the garden for hours. Our dog settled straight in - home from home. And our field and woodland walks were great for us all. We met lots of lovely people and dogs for ours to play with.

- Elaine, August 2024

Thank you for your feedback. We hope to see you and Harley again soon Lucinda and Paul Property Owner

.elaine October 2023

“This was the most relaxing holiday we have ever had.”

The view from the lounge to the garden and to the pond and trees is so beautiful. We watched the birds enjoy the surrounding and food in the feeders. There are some lovely walks to enjoy with fields that your dog can be let off of the lead. The cottage itself is of a good standard and spotless. Recliner chair was a lovely surprise, I had many sleepy afternoons in it. Lucinda, and George the dog, made us very welcome and were only nextdoor if needed. I would have no hesitation in returning or recommending this cottage to friends and family

Julie September 2023

Thankyou Julie, I hope Katie travelled back without too much stress. Hope to see you both again. Lucinda Property Owner
James September 2023

“A perfect location for visiting the many attractions nearby, e.”

G Owl Sanctuary and Bressingham Steam Railway Museum. Lovely comfortable cottage, ideal for a couple. Beautiful secluded garden with a pond at the end where we could watch the ducks. One evening we had a power cut, (nothing to do with our hosts), but we were presented with a box of chocolates for the inconvenience. Would definitely recommend Kingfisher Cottage if you are going to Norfolk.

- James, September 2023

Thankyou for your nice comments, we hope to see you again in the future. Property Owner

Kevin July 2023

“We had a lovely stay (six nights) at Kingfisher Cottage.”

It is very cosy, clean and comfortable - just right for two adults and a dog. It is in a very quiet rural area, but with easy access to major roads. We had some great days out exploring Suffolk and Norfolk, but we were just as happy to stay 'home' at the cottage with it's lovely garden, Smart TV and easy Wi-Fi access. We were made to feel very welcome by Lucinda, and the home made scones and jam were delicious. A perfect start to a perfect stay. We would definitely recommend.

- Kevin, July 2023
Nichola July 2023

“A cosy cottage set in beautiful countryside.”

We found Kingfisher Cottage to be a tranquil retreat with everything we needed. The hosts were friendly but not intrusive and it was good to know they were approachable and only next door. We will definitely be going back.

- Nichola, July 2023
Arni May 2023

“May 2023. It was a last minute booking, but I am not sorry for my choice.”

Excellent, comfortable holiday bungalow. Very kind owners next door, ready to help if/when necessary. While being suitable for less able persons it also has the advantage of a beautiful garden with a large pond. Stepping out, find a secluded spot on the terrace, surrounded by this beautiful garden and the smell of roses. Enjoying the peace and quiet...until the ducklings come nibbling your toes because they need to be fed (they think). This bungalow is in the middle of the countryside yet only half hours drive away from several towns and 1 hour away from the coast. So lots to do and see. Also a very good butcher and pub only 5 minutes drive away. I recommend!

Wendy August 2022

“This was a wonderful cottage for a disabled person.”

When looking for accommodation they are far from considered. The garden was suffering through lack of rain, however, we were amazed at the amount of birds that resided in it. We will return at some point.

- Wendy, August 2022

Walter June 2021

“The accommodation was really comfortable and clean.”

Host was so helpful and the garden just exceeded anything that could be described. So many different kinds of birds and the bird feeders constantly kept full. Somedays we could have just sat and enjoyed the birds and the large pond just down the path. We left feeling so refreshed.

- Walter, June 2021

Andrew September 2020

“Kingfisher cottage is in a great location centrally in East Anglia so drive to most of the coast is about an hour away.”

- Andrew, September 2020
Andy July 2020

“Holiday was good.”

Only issue was unexpected addition of an extra £10 on total cost after I’d paid full price as advertised. As it was a late booking I had to pay the extra to get contact details of property and there was no opportunity to ring to discuss as nobody answering phones. Very shoddy practice by Sykes. The cottage was as advertised and we had a lovely week.

- Andy, July 2020
Diane July 2020

“Very friendly couple.”

- Diane, July 2020
Dave September 2019

“It was a lovely location, nice little garden,good mix of flowers, and lots of birds, not forgetting the "DUCKS" in the pond, a good base for the area.”

- Dave, September 2019
Bernhard August 2019

“Our stay in the clean and comfortable Kingfisher Cottage was really enjoyable.”

Very friendly hosts made our holidays a real success, no matter if we needed help with a flat tyre or arranging a visit to Sandringham. They always knew how to make us feel welcome.

- Bernhard, August 2019
Denise August 2019

“The garden at this cottage is a particular gem.”

“Cindy and Paul were very welcoming.”

The cottage isn't cramped at all and it's in lovely, peaceful surroundings with open aspect onto a wildlife pond where we watched so many different types of birds. It's equipped with everything you could possibly need and more (even a pack of cards) and all in all we had a very relaxing stay and were well placed to explore the Suffolk countryside. Thanks to the labradoodles for adding to the welcome! We'll be back.
