Recently stayed at Farthings Cottage after finding via Norfolk Dog Friendly stays page. It did not disappoint. A very charming and modern Thatched cottage. The house was very clean, so much information on the house/local area which was very helpful. The summer time would be beautiful in the garden and our dogs loved it, very secure too. The jacuzzi was an added bonus we all enjoyed. Hosts were very easygoing and easy to contact, the fresh loaf of bread on check in day was a bonus!
We organised a private chef to come in and cook on the Saturday night to make the most of being in the house. Wow it did not disappoint, highly recommend Black Door Dining. Location to the town was an easy 10 min walk with everything you need pub, shops, restaurants and coffee stops. It’s such a lovely house the only reason for a 4 star on comfort, there was only one shower in the en-suite of the master bedroom. We were 11 adults so slightly inconvenient, for a smaller family with children I’m sure it wouldn’t be an issue. We also rented a boat on the broads for a few hours which I’d highly recommend for a day out, go to Horning.
Overall 10/10 would recommend.
Thanks for making a special family weekend.

The cottage itself is aways welcoming even before seeing the display of drinks & gifts from your hosts. It all adds to a warm welcome with the addition now of the ‘treats cabinet’ in the games room which the adults and children all loved. All my family look forward to our weekends at The Farthings and make full use of the garden and hot tub. It has such a secluded feel to it which in itself helps to relax and unwind.

Had a very pleasant week staying at Farthings for a family gathering. Cottage had everything we needed,was situated in a convenient location close to shops and harbour and the local goodies and home made bread were delicious.
Owners were very pleasant and helpful and maintained the hot tub every day.
Would be very happy to stay here again.



wonderful stay at the place, the host was ever so helpful and had few goodies and fresh bread!!

All the facilities were really good, however, as it was 14 of us, i felt the no of bathrooms were not enough. there was only one shower and one bath plus a toilet downstairs which made it bit uncomfortable. The sofa bed in Living room 2 wasn't up to the standard, it had very thin mattress. sitting area outside can be improved with some more chairs and table.
for the party of 9- it would be okay.

We enjoyed a large family get together in this superb cottage. It appealed to every age range including the games room and hot tub and the hot bread on the first evening was a winner with everybody. Would definitely recommend.

11 of my family enjoyed a lovey stay in the cottage over the Easter weekend.
From booking to arrival we were kept updated with email and message communications which were detailed and helpful. Upon arrival there was a lovely welcome pack and cottage was lovely and clean. There was everything needed for a comfortable stay……and more. The kids enjoyed the garden the most, making great use of the open space, tree house, hot tub and play room.
The cottage was very spacious with different areas to relax and socialise.
David was very helpful and kind and the warm bread package on our first night was a lovely appreciated touch. We couldn’t fault the accommodation and would definitely return when we get a chance.
A lovely property in a nice location only 10mins from Wroxham.

Absolutely lovely cottage. Big enough for the 12 of us + a large dog for a special birthday weekend. The cottage had everything you would need, including the extra snacks in play room. Loved the little notes left by the hot tub every morning & lovely fresh baked bread kindly delivered on arrival. Have already highly recommended Farthings Cottage to multiple friends & will have no hesitation in booking again.

As always another lovely stay at Farthings. The hot tub constantly in use by all the family. The younger ones enjoyed feeding and watching the fish and drawing with the outdoor chalks. The older youngsters enjoying the company of their cousins whilst playing video & traditional games. The adults just relaxing. The warm welcome and homemade bread is always a winner.
Just a lovely place to stay and meet up with family.

Family time is very important to me. My family and I spent a few days at Farthings, celebrating my eldest daughter’s 30th birthday. The house is welcoming and very homely. So well equipped with everything you need to enjoy your stay. The owners are delightful. We had a wonderful time and would highly recommend a stay at this charming cottage.

This is a fantastic place to book for a cosy, comfortable stay. 12 of us stayed at Farthings for a girls weekend in October and it was the perfect location for us. Through the website we were able to book a private chef to cook for us on the first night, and spa treatments at the cottage on the second day with 3 therapists coming to pamper us. There is everything you could need from kitchen utensils, to books and games, a hot tub and cosy beds. It is also a good location for a stumble into Wroxham. Highly recommend the bottomless brunch at Fizz & Fromage (around 25 min walk).

I am so glad I booked The Farthings cottage for a family weekend break. There was something for each generation. The hot tub was extremely popular tucked away in a beautiful garden. Treehouse and games room for the younger ones, a pond full of fish for the children to feed but built high enough to be safe for the toddler. Everything was immaculate with bedding for the sofa beds in sealed bags ready to be used if needed. The fresh baked bread was a lovely gesture together with the welcome pack. Hannah and family are extremely good hosts and kept me informed all the way from booking to our leaving. Everyone enjoyed themselves and we all had a really lovely stay.

We stayed here with our adult kids, partners,dogs etc. The house is wonderful and we loved the hot tub. Space for even a large group to find quiet space sometimes and a marvellous kitchen and table to share a meal.

Our family of 6 adults and three children aged between 4 and 15 and three dogs found the Farthings ideal for a group like ours, the house felt like a home with lovely communal areas and space for the kids to play and the dogs to laze. Our hosts had gone to every effort to think of everything that a family could want or need in a property. The location was ideal for walking into Wroxham or for exploring the local area. Nice walks for the dogs every morning from the house.
We have stayed at many different properties at home and abroad and would certainly recommend the Farthings.
