We booked Granary Cottage for an early Christmas celebration with all the family. It was perfect. Beautiful, peaceful surroundings but close to Norwich, the broads and the coast. The facilities were fantastic and the cottage extremely clean. Plenty of logs for the log burner which added to our festive feel. We really couldn’t fault this place and will certainly return.

We had a great stay at this cottage, our 4th year of staying! The accommodation was clean as usual and there is everything you need for a great weekend.
All the staff are welcoming and on hand if anything is needed.
Thank you

My Family came to stay last year to visit us in Norfolk. It was so lovely and fun that we joined them this year even though we live in Norfolk. The facilities are amazing and we love the pool the most and the new games room is excellent too!
Thank you for making us feel so welcome!

We had a lovely week and the property is spacious and ideal for our family. We had no problems and everything was great. The kids loved using the pool, games room and outside play areas. It was lovely to walk in the grounds and have space to play.

We booked both Granary and Waterside Cottages to celebrate a family birthday. It worked incredibly well for both adults and children (ages 17 - 7). The games barn and outdoor pool were a real bonus keeping everyone entertained. Enjoyable walks around the grounds
too.
Check in was straight forward.
Comfortable beds and good quality bed linen.
Well stocked kitchen utensils and pots/pans.

Just spent the weekend here with our large extended family. Ages ranging from 2-82. Everyone had a brilliant time. Such a beautiful site with well maintained properties. The pool and the games room/ barn were enjoyed by everyone & the location is absolutely stunning!
Jack, Sheelagh & Kim were friendly & helpful and made the booking process very smooth. We had a fabulous time. Thanks for having us! :-)

We were an extended family of 16, ages 5 to 75 staying in the Granary and Waterside Cottages for a long weekend. We had a really enjoyable stay. The cottages and grounds were beautiful, clean and well equipped. It was lovely to see the horses being taken out each day and we spotted a few deer during our stay. The cottages were across from one another and there was plenty of room for everyone. Beds were comfortable. Both games rooms were a brilliant addition for our stay and there was something for everyone to keep them entertained. From first contact with Spixworth Cottages in November 23 to the end of our stay in March 24, the owners were very friendly, answered emails very quickly and really couldn't do enough for us. During our saty we had a photoshoot in The Granary Gardens while we were there (pre-arranged and permission granted from the owners), completed a treasure trail around Norwich Castle (booked online) which was around a 20 minute drive away, booked the adult games room on the Saturday evening and celebrated a 70th birthday with a little party, went greyhound racing in Great Yarmouth (approximately 30 - 40 mins drive), had a lovely walk to the village church and around the fields and grounds of Spixworth Cottages and visited Eaton Park (approx 20 min drive away). It really was a very enjoyable stay for everyone. We would definitely recommend Spixworth Cottages and we would return. Thank you Sheelah, Kim and Jack.

My partner and I have visited the Spixworth estate twice now and are planning on returning every year. The staff are always lovely, the properties are kept really well and are cosy and traditional sort of cottages. The site is really something special and our high needs chihuahua loves it! Thanks Spixthworth team :)

We had a wonderful trip and stayed in the Granary. The cottage and grounds were perfect. The beds comfy, the showers powerful. Kitchen had all the needed amenities and the lounge area was spacious and comfy for a group of 8. The kids loved the games room, pool and play area.
Only minor areas that could be improved is we only had 6 chairs to dine outside, when we were a party of 8. It wasn't an issue for us as the property next to us was vacant by the time we needed them so we used theirs. But in high season it may be an issue. The chest of drawers in the loft room was broken so were unable to fully unpack. Again we were only there for 2 nights so we lived out of our bags but if someone was staying longer and needed to unpack it may be an issue

Many Thanks for a wonderful stay, we will definitely be back!

Hi Claire Thank you for your kind review of Granary cottage. We are happy to hear that you and your family enjoyed your stay and made good use of the Games Barn, Pool and Outdoor play area. Apologies that you were unable to stow away your clothes in the chest of drawers in the loft room. Since your departure we have taken them out for repair so that they can be used for future guests and hopefully your return to our cottages. With regards to the outdoor furniture, we are always reviewing what we have available to our guests and have made a note of your suggestion. We encourage our guests to let us know during their stay if something is missing, broken or if they need more items i.e. pillows, chairs etc. We would rather find a solution at the time to ensure their stay is more comfortable for them. We are pleased that this did not affect your stay with us and look forward to seeing you and your family again. all the best Kim

We stayed here with family into cottages.
The granary was with a more modern cottage and delightful.
The host day was fantastic, beautiful walks, a relaxing time.
I would highly recommend. Speak with cottages for getting back to nature, relaxing break.

This is our second time staying in the Granary Cottage and we have a great time. The surroundings are ideal for the children and they love using the pool. The lounge/kitchen has everything we need and this year the sofas had been replaced.
There was also new climbing frames, slides and swings.
The cottage is well located and in easy reach of the Broads for boats and also the coast. We enjoyed the Dinosaur park, which was a great day out for all the family.

It was a great week and I'm sure we ill be returning next year.

Hi Kevin, It is great to hear that you and your family had a great stay with us again. We are so pleased that you noticed the sofas had been replaced with new ones. We are currently rolling out a refurbishment programme and updating the cottages. Later this year Granary and Waterside cottages will have brand new fitted kitchens which we hope you will be able to enjoy on your return visit. It is lovely that you made use of the grounds and swimming pool and enjoyed visiting the attractions. We look forward to seeing you next year. All the best Sheelah and Team

A lovely holiday home. Location was great for access to beaches and Norwich.
We used the pool most days which was heated to a good temperature (a net to clean the surface before use would have been good though). We also used the tennis court which was a lovely bonus. It's worth noting that both the pool and the court are a short drive or reasonably long walk away (or long walk with kids anyway!). A fab new playground was installed whilst we were there, it's just beside the cottages so a great feature for the kids (aged 5 and 9).
The beauty of the outdoor areas didn't quite follow through to the interior decor which was a little dated, but it was perfectly functional and clean and everything was in good working order.
The owners were easily contactable if we had any questions.

Hi Natalie Thank you for your lovely review, we are so pleased you all had a great stay and enjoyed the swimming pool and tennis court. There is a net at the back area of the pool which can be used by guests to clean the surface before use. It is kept there for safety reasons and so that children do not play with it. we are delighted you like our new children's playground that is currently being installed, we are hopefully to have this open very soon. With regards to the beauty of the properties inside we are working our way through the cottages and updating them. New sofas were bought and placed into Granary cottage just before your arrival and we are currently looking at renewing the carpets and kitchens. We thank you for your feedback as it is only through such communication that we can improve on the service our valued guests receive. We hope to welcome you back in the future. All the best Sheelah & Team

We much appreciated being greeted by Sheelagh on arrival and immediately felt reassured by her responsible approach to COVID requirements. We felt safe. The location is wonderful with easy walking around the farm, easy access to Norwich and the Broards. We had expected to be busy but after a couple of sorties we luxuriated in the peace, sunshine and our books . We got lazier and lazier and blame the air! The Granary was perfect and very well set up as a holiday cottage. As a couple we just used the top bedroom with excellent shower. Downstairs we were able to cook if we wanted to and be inside happily but the weather was so lovely we spent much time outside. We had access to both sunshine and shade which we needed in September!! We were able to walk almost entirely off road to the Black Swan where we felt comfortable eating outside. We will return to this wonderful complex of cottages bringing our family and hopefully find the energy to explore further afield.
