Really enjoyed our week long stay. Really nice pool and great to be able to use it every day. Nice location and able to explore broads and still only 30 mins to Cromer.

Would have been nice to have some information on the local area in the cottage and some recommendations from previous people.

Graham was very accommodating and replied to any messages very speedily. He was very flexible if we wanted to add/swap a scheduled pool slot.

It is not a great area for dog walking, which we discovered due to the appalling weather we had whilst there.
Unfortunately for us, the beach was inaccessible for most days of our stay because the tide was in and the waves were thrashing on the sea walls.....
It is all farmland with nowhere to take the dog from the doorstep.
I had to search out and drive somewhere to take the dog out, which was a shame.

The 2 main things that let it down for us were the cleanliness and the poor state of the cooking equipment in the kitchen.
There were cobwebs everywhere! This was a real problem for me as I have a severe phobia. The games room was also very dirty. I understand the rustic location, but it does not take much to dust and sweep the area once in a while. For me this would have made all the difference.
Impossible to fry an egg or some bacon. All the coating had come off both frying pans.
Also, the showers I'm sorry to say are dreadful, and the the bathroom areas are very dated and untidy looking.

As i said, not the best, not the worst.
I would not not recommend it myself, however if your not put off by spiders /cobwebs I think its a great place with pool the and games room for extra entertainment.

Beautiful cottages, the host went above and beyond to make our stay as comfortable as possible. Nothing was too much trouble. Pool booking system was brilliant.
The cottages were beautiful, clean and well stocked with anything you could need. Normally can't wait to get home after a holiday to my own bed but not here it was perfect.
Games room was a great bonus and location was perfect, plenty of places to eat and shop around the local area and so many lovely Norfolk beaches to choose from.. perfect holiday, perfect location and perfect host. Thankyou!

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the stables. 6 adults and 1 infant. Cot and highchair provided and a good amount of room for all. Great comfy beds and good shower facilities. Large fridge which was great.
Only small observations, no keybox which was awkward if we went our separate ways. BBQ had been left uncleaned. No instructions for cooker, dishwasher etc and plastic crockery would have been nice for the children and saved the anxiety of giving them china and glass.
Not a lot of outdoor space for livelier children but great seating area for drinks and BBQ ( charcoal)
The pool was brilliant and easily booked. Good changing room facilities Graham was just a text away and very responsive.
The family did use the games room and seemed to enjoy it
A great place to stay with good access to all Norfolk offers. Single line "road" to enter the cottage just take it steady and be ready to reverse. We will definitely consider booking again. Graham is the perfect host and the cottage and facilities are lovely.

We had excellent communication with Graham from making our enquiry and booking, through to our checkout
The accommodation was exactly as described and met our expectations. The location is wonderfully quiet, the accommodation is spacious, clean, comfortable and well equipped.
We thoroughly enjoyed the swimming pool and games room.
We wish to thank Graham for a lovely stay :)

We stayed over the weekend and had a fantastic family break. The Stables was immaculate and stunning throughout. Everything we needed was provided and I could happily live there! The added bonus of the games room with pool table, table tennis, darts and table football was a big hit with us all, as was the private, heated swimming pool. Graham was a brilliant host and really helpful and friendly before our arrival and during our stay. We will definitely be back and would recommend The Stables to anyone looking to spend some quality time together in a beautiful part of the country.

The property was very peaceful and comfortable. All the mod cons (heating, hot water, TV, Wifi) all simply worked, so we were able to relax and enjoy the indoors during our short stay. The pool was the main reason for booking, and the water temp was reasonable for us and our children. It had decent facilities: separate changing rooms, WCs, showers for men and women. The games room was a useful bonus, and is really well-stocked for DVDs and board games. The children enjoyed playing darts, foosball and table tennis.

Graham, the owner, was super-responsive and very helpful with all my queries. He ensured the property had all necessary amenities and made check out easy (by not requiring us to strip the bedding, etc).

Note: the cottage is on a site with about 4 other properties, but this wasn't an issue for us, as there was no noise or disturbance from others, and the pool is bookable in 1-hour slots for yourself. In fact, we would be happy to stay again, perhaps next time to book the additional properties for a bigger family stay!

We had such an amazing time staying at Tunstead Cottages.

Our host Graham was responsive and extremely helpful when we asked questions or general advice about the area.

The swimming pool was delightful and the games room kept our family entertained!!!

The property was exceptionally clean and lovely and warm.

The beds were extremely comfortable and it was very peaceful and quiet.

We would highly recommend this property, please do book as you will have the most amazing time.

Myself and 3 of my friends stayed at Tunstead cottages on the 1st December 2023 and from start to finish we couldn’t have enjoyed our trip more!
The cottage itself was beautiful, the set up is perfect and it is so cosy and homely. The facilities were amazing and we made much use of the swimming pool and games room, we pretty much had them to ourselves the whole weekend.
We went for a long walk around the surrounding area and met some lovely locals who gave us all the information we needed on where to go and what to do but we decided to make as much use of the cottages as we could, only being there for the weekend. We have all recommended to family/friends and will most definitely be visiting again! Thank you Graham for the best weekend.

We spent a long weekend at the Stables as a group of 4 adults and 1 child. Although it was cold and raining for quite a bit of the time, we really enjoyed access to the swimming pool (needs pre-booking) and the games room - both of which kept a young man amused on a rainy day.
The Stables was well laid out, comfortable and had all the home comforts needed - milk, tea, coffee, sugar and biscuits were provided as were cleaning cloths, bath and tea towels. You only need to bring clothes, any food you wanted and towels for swimming if you are using the pool.
The Stables was easy to find, Graham provided clear instructions, and although a bit far to walk to the pub in the dark and rain, would provide wonderful walks in the Summer. We drove to Fairhaven Gardens, Stalham and Wroxham where they was plenty of entertainment.
Graham was a thoughtful and helpful host, we couldn't fault the arrangements and would thoroughly recommend.

Would definitely recommend staying here…..accommodation was perfect for 5 adults and a dog. The swimming pool is fab especially to have it by yourselves. It is a rural location so bear that in mind but great location to explore The Broads and coastline.
It would have been nice to have a book of info …..rubbish, how oven works, check out instructions etc but not having one may be for a covid reason so I’m not sure.

Booked a weeks holiday with the family, somewhere with a pool. Arrived mid afternoon and were met by Graham the owner who explained where things were and said if we needed anything to just ask. The barn conversion was nice and comfortable and pretty clean, but we found that with a party of six that there was not really enough crockery or cutlery and entailed putting on the dishwasher after every meal. There is no welcome book in the property which would be useful when needing info re the heating or the cooker or even places of interest etc. our main gripe was the pool. A fair size but a bit cold but biggest issue was it was mucky. We found plasters floating, several clumps of hair and a set of false eyelashes, not very nice.
Having said that we did have a nice weeks holiday but it could have been even better with a little more care.

Great cottage with fabulous amenities- we swam every day and used the games room. The cottage is a short drive from Wroxham giving great access to the Broads as well as to the coast. Definitely recommend.
