We had a lovely night at Jay's Hatch. The location is superb and so peaceful. Although the cottage is attached to the main house it feels incredibly private with its own front door. Inside it is much more spacious than we expected with a large main bathroom but also a second toilet which was a bonus! Everything is really well thought through and of a high standard. The bed was really comfy and it was a joy to wake up to the beautiful field views. Val was on hand to meet us on arrival which was really nice, and we loved the personal touches - the welcome message on the fridge, the chocolates and fresh flowers. There was a great selection of tea, coffee, biscuits and even cereal, along with milk in the fridge which was really helpful so we could have a cuppa on arrival. Val was lovely and made us feel right at home with our little dog - the garden is completely enclosed and there is a huge space which guests at Jay's Hatch can use.

Thank you Val for a wonderful stay. We needed a getaway from the city & this was perfect for us & our little dog.
Extremely welcoming, clean, warm and comfortable little house. It had everything we needed & more - Valentines chocolates were left for us!
After a peaceful nights sleep we went for a walk at Walcott beach.
Thank you for a great stay. We wouldn’t hesitate in coming back.

Definitely gorgeous place. My boyfriend and I had a Valentine's journey to Norfolk and Val gave us the most comfortable and enjoyable stay over experience. Before the trip, Val gave us very detailed guidance of how to reach there and also updated the latest info. We were a little late but Val still came out to greet us and show around. The property is clean and cozy. Very spacious and have everything we need. We had very good rest and even decided to stay over for one more night (It's a shame that it's not available but we will definitely visit again!)

This is the second time I have stayed at Jays Hatch, this lovely peaceful place. Cannot fault anything about Vals place.
Wonderful location, 10 minutes drive from beach. Accommodation is exactly as described. Val and Andy could not do more to help.
My favourite place to stay.
Accommodation was well equipped and so cozy and warm. Bed and pillows truly amazing. Best nights sleep I’ve had when away. Garden area is amazing.
House is located in wonderful quiet village, great surroundings with great walks. Will be back in a heartbeat. The best hosts and run a truly wonderful cottage.
We loved the long weekend, thank you so much for everything. biscuits, milk, and fully equipped kitchen.
Our favourite place to stay. Thank you for opening pool earlier than scheduled, really enjoyed the swim.

After touring Great Britain for 3 months we finally found the ideal place! We had two amazing views from outside and inside. We loved the Norfolk countryside, with open fields, tree lined roads and pastures, Norman churches dotting the landscape and farms and cottages to admire.
The attached cottage was clean, spacious and comfortable and had everything we needed. We had milk and treats on our arrival plus a lovely visit with our hosts. We had a quiet, restful stay and wished we could stay longer.
The location was amazing! You do need a car to get there and then it's just 20 minutes to several beaches and about 30 minutes to Norwich or Great Yarmouth. Many lovely villages and country drives as well.
All of the appliances worked well. The shower was fantastic! With instructions the place was easy to find. We loved being able to park right next to the cottage and the
absence of stairs!
We highly recommend this accommodation and wonderful and caring hosts.

Lovely place to stay absolutely gorgeous and cool on a hot weekend! Photos did not do justice how gorgeous it is! Is quite remote but was lovely having a gin and tonic sat listening to wildlife in the evening and having breakfast in the morning in the peace and quiet! Val was very responsive and super helpful even when my mum broke a glass! Felt at ease and the beach recommendation for the second day was a hit and we spent all day in peace on a beach in Norfolk on the second hottest day of the year! A rarity! Bed was also super comfy and massive!

What can we say. Val and her husband were absolutely amazing hosts. We had a one night stay and wished we were staying for a week. The location was beautiful, garden incredible, and pool just lovely. Everything so clean and all the little touches made it (milk in the fridge and chocolate flapjacks!). They have thought of everything. Val gave us some great recommendations for a restaurant, we ate at the Gunton Arms which was incredible. She also helped us sort out a taxi. Book this place immediately as you won’t regret it (and book the pool too!). Thanks so much for having us Val !

One of our favourite air bnbs! When we arrived we were greeted by Val who kindly gave us a quick intro to the area and how to get in etc. Val had left us some sweet treats which were so tasty and thoughtful. We were overwhelmed with the size of the place it is bigger in person. The pool was well thought out and equipped with its own toilet and shower so we didn’t have to go through the house soaking wet. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook a gorgeous dinner from local produce. The area is peaceful and far enough away to feel secluded but close enough to amenities. We visited Horsey beach and parked our small camper down there (free parking but overnight stays not allowed) it was perfect for a spot of seal watching and having some time away from the city which we’re used to. We also visited the 1940s tea room which was mentioned and loved it! It also had a cute shop to purchase a souvenir. We were so grateful to stay in such a beautiful, clean, private space thank you Val

Beautiful place in quiet, rural location. We booked the pool in the morning which was a lovely start to the day. Val was very welcoming and helpful and the accommodation was very well appointed and clean.

Set in tranquil countryside Val's property is very well kept, with comfy bed, lots of light and an additional surprise of a swimming pool. Val was the perfect host and we really enjoyed our stay. Beach is 3 miles away, North Walsham a bit further but as a place to get away from it all it is perfect.
