Guests have enjoyed their stays at Croylands, appreciating its spaciousness, comfortable furnishings, and inviting garden. The property's quiet location is also praised. While some areas for improvement are noted, such as additional kitchen items and cleaning, the positive aspects are numerous, leading to repeat bookings.
Guests that stayed at this property said
Several reviews mention issues with cleanliness, including cobwebs and dust. However, the property is not described as unclean overall, suggesting that while there is room for improvement, the standard of cleanliness is slightly above average.
The location is described as great and quiet, with the property being set back from the road. No negative comments about the location suggest that guests are generally pleased with it.
Guests find the furniture and beds comfortable, and the property spacious. There are minor comments about the conservatory furniture being less comfortable, but overall, the comfort level is high.
While the property is well-equipped, guests have noted missing items like oven gloves and smaller saucepans. Maintenance issues such as a doorknob coming off and a light bulb being out are also mentioned. These are areas that could be addressed to enhance the guest experience.
There is no mention of gifts or welcome packs being provided or expected, so it is not possible to assess the thoughtfulness of the host in this regard. Therefore, this score is set to null.
About this property
Resting in a quiet area within the market town of North Walsham, Norfolk is Croylands, a characterful, four-bedroom property. Enjoying a tranquil setting, whilst positioned within reach of a range of amenities, Croylands provides a family of eight with a wonderful base, adorning original features, a pretty garden, and flexible sleeping arrangements, perfect for a self-catered stay; two well-behaved dogs are also welcome. Park up on the private driveway before making your way into the entrance of Croylands, firstly reaching the sitting room; after a day of traversing, unwind upon the plush seating with the woodburning stove alight. For some light entertainment, reach the second sitting room, complete with a Smart TV, before heading into the suntrap conservatory, enjoying views of the side garden. Continue through the property to reach the traditional kitchen/diner, completed with all expected appliances to rustle up and enjoy delicious meals. When sleep calls, select between four well-presented bedrooms, including a super-king-size, a king-size, a twin, and a bunk room, all serviced by a bathroom, a ground-floor shower room, and a cloakroom. Come morning, wake up with a coffee in the garden before embarking on your itinerary, touring both the coast and country; Pigneys Wood, Blickling Hall, Norfolk Coast AONB, and the Norfolk Broads are all within reach, perfect for exploring as a family. Head for the shoreline, stopping off at the Happisburgh Lighthouse for breath-taking vistas, visit the Happisburgh Owls for an immersive afternoon, or enjoy a stroll along the golden sands of Sea Palling Beach. Before reaching Norwich, be sure to discover BeWILDerwood Norfolk, and Bure Marshes National Nature Reserve, ahead of touring Norwich Castle, The Plantation Garden, Norwich Cathedral, and The Museum of Norwich at the Bridewell, a city brimming with art and culture. Enjoy all of this at Croylands.
The market town of North Walsham is well-stocked and is located in Norfolk's north-eastern region. There are many wonderful places to dine, drink, and shop in this charming town. The Norfolk coast is easily reachable from North Walsham, and beautiful locations like Cromer are nearby and well worth a trip to the beach during the summer. The wonderful city of Norwich, with its spectacular architecture and abundance of top-notch services and things to enjoy, is only 15 miles distant for an inland day excursion. Great Yarmouth, a perennially well-liked beach town, is worth the detour down the coast for its classic charm and seaside attractions; it's a wonderful place for a family day out.

Plenty of space for everyone great garden for our dogs to have a run about. If it had more mugs that's the only thing as there is lots of plates & dishes & only 8 mugs once in dish washer . You have to wait for another cuppa . A mirror in the bunk bed room too is the only thing I can think of we 7 adults enjoyed our stay very much.

My husband vacuumed every room on the walls etc. Only one bin bags for rubbish and the dishwasher had no rinse aid in it and no cleaning products to keep the house clean whilst there we had to buy cleaner rinse aid and had to descale the kettle. One light bulb was out in bathroom upstairs and a bulb out on extractor Iâve hob and light in utility didnât come on at all. We had to fix the bed in second bedroom as it gad not been connected correctly and the lats kept falling out. We removed bedding and cleaned before we left and can guarantee it was in a much cleaner condition.
