“What a great holiday cottage! So thoughtfully equipped with everything you could need plus some lovely little extras. Appreciated the advice about local pubs and restaurants, we tried as many as we could! Also agree with your choice of beaches. Holkham is stunning. We loved it here. Thank you.”

Guest Reviews
“"We have had a most relaxing weekend in your delightful cottage. You really have thought of everything. Thank you.”
Jane de Beer from Stowmarket, April 2012
“Great weather for March to spend our third visit to your charming cottage. Appreciated the welcome goodies! As before it was so comfortable with every need catered for. Thanks, we will be back."”
Sean and Linda from Sandhurst, March 2012
“Well equipped, thoughtfully designed for all our needs and more. Aesthetically pleasing - lovely colours. Very comfy and homely. We arrived in the snow but were soon snug and warm. The ambience is soothing and restful. The cottage reminded us of the film "The Holiday". We felt as if we were in a real home and really appreciated all the extras. Thank you for the wine etc. A great touch! Our chocolate lab settled in right away and he told us he didn't want to leave!! Nor did we.”
Annette and Steve Walker from Leicester, February 2012
“Thank you so much for helping to make our Christmas so magical. We absolutely loved staying in the cottage - it was just perfect. We really appreciated your thoughtfulness in leaving a welcome pack. Was our first time to Norfolk and we loved it and the cottage."”
Rachel and Ned from UK, December 2011
“"What a find! We have been coming to Norfolk for many years and can honestly say this is one of the best cottages we have stayed in. Thank you for the welcome pack and for ensuring your cottage is so well equipped and cosy. We had a lovely stay. Lots of walks in the countryside and along the beaches at Brancaster and Heacham. We would love to come again in 2012!"

Robinson Family from UK, December 2011
“We have really enjoyed our short stay in Norfolk and at Samphire. We all felt that Samphire had a real charm about it - cosy, quirky, with some really nice touches. Everything we needed was here and more. Hope it won't be too long before we can have a return visit. Thank you for everything.”
Flynn Family from Corby, October 2011
“This was our first visit to Samphire and to Norfolk, we hope there will be many more to come. We've had a wonderful time, amazed by the beauty of the area and really, really impressed by Samphire. It is really well equipped and the welcome pack was much appreciated. The standard of the accommodation and all the finishing touches make it way above 'normal' self-catering accommodation. Thank you very much. We'll be back.

K Smith from Krefeld, Germany, October 2011
“Just to say what a wonderful time we had staying at Samphire. The cottage is in a beautiful area and we went somewhere new everyday. Our Patterdale terrier “Weller” especially loved all the fantastic beaches and the weather couldn’t have been better. The dog friendly pub “King William” was a great find and only a 5-10 minute walk from the front door. From making our first enquiry to leaving “Norfolk Hideaways” were truly brilliant and we won’t hesitate in using you again and recommending you to all our friends. Thank you for making this little slice of heaven available to mere mortals & their four legged friends.

Vicky Kennedy from West Yorkshire, September 2011

“What a fabulous, quirky cottage. The cleanliness and decor are truly outstanding. Every possible thought has gone into making our holiday perfect - and it was. We'll be back.”
Smith from Kippax, Leeds, June 2011
“Thanks for letting us experience a lovely holiday in your cottage. We have all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and we all felt at home in the lovely surroundings - your finishing touches take care of that! The cleanliness of your cottage is outstanding - thanks! We hope to visit again.”
Wilkinson from Bury, Lancs, May 2011
“This is the first holiday cottage we've ever been to. Any future ones will have a lot to live up to! My six year old was at home from the second she walked in the door. She thought the 'Cosy Corner' was brilliant! Instructions for everything and all queries were covered. The fire made the cottage so snug in the evening. Sedgeford is a pretty village in a great location and there are lots of nice touches in the cottage. Thank you! We had a fantastic break.”
Kath Burman from Nottingham, March 2011
“Fantastic cottage. Cosy Corner is brill. I love Samphire. I love Farmer Fred's Play Barn. I don't want to leave.

A&M Bark from Horncastle, Lincolnshire, March 2011
“Samphire is most certainly a home away from home. Without being intrusive it is amazingly cosy, welcoming, warm, friendly and so cute! You will be equipped with everything you could need - from a warm cosy fire to helpful hints about nearby trips and things to do, to board games to a welcome pack of milk and bread for your stay... Furthermore, Sedgeford is a lovely little village and provides the perfect setting for a relaxing break away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The only drawback is that you won't want to leave...!'
”
J Murch from London, February 2011
“Well what can I say that hasn't already been said other than the photo's don't do this wonderful cottage justice. The decoration and little touches make this small but perfectly formed cottage a real home from home. Thanks for such a lovely weekend. We will be back.

“A most beautiful part of the world with so many delights for all ages. We loved our stay at Pearmans Cottage. It was warm and had all we needed, a home from home. Sedgeford is a great location from which to explore many areas in North Norfolk.
”
Joanne Wilcock from Bury, October 2010
“'Samphire' cottage is such a gorgeous place to stay, great to relax after hectic city life by either sitting in the tranquil and secluded garden or making a short journey to some of the best beaches I have visited. You'll want for nothing else at this exceptional and delightful cottage. ”
Ian Morris from London, July 2010
“What a fabulous little cottage in just the right location for days out to the beach and visiting places of interest locally. It had everything we needed (and more) for our stay and was a lovely cosy home from home. The garden could have been a little more child friendly, but the cosy corner more than made up for it. Our two spent most of their time in the evenings in the cosy corner playing. They also liked the selection of goodies for the beach in the porch. We will definitely be recommending it to friends, and may well visit again ourselves in the future. Well done on creating the perfect holiday cottage!”
Julie Wiles from Gilmorton, June 2010
“Beautiful cottage! Really comfortable and extremely well fitted out.”
Sue Geddes from Lincoln, June 2010
“Samphire is a gorgeous cottage in a lovely tranquil spot, within easy reach of loads of great places.
Thanks for a lovley stay.
”
Karen Mitchell from Glossop, April 2010
“Just got back from a long weekend in this lovely little cottage. We had snow and it was bitterly cold, but lovely and warm in the cottage. It was so well equipped it was just like home from home. Great for fit active people and children as stairs could be a problem for the less agile! We will hopefully return later in the year. ”
Julia Blake from Brighton, February 2010
“Lovely chic cottage with lots of "designer" touches. We have just returned and the outside temperatures were minus 2 yet the whole cottage was warm and cosy. Very well equipped and close to all of the lovely spots in North Norfolk. The stairs could be a problem for some people though.”
Ann Shorter from Wellingborough, December 2009
“Samphire was the ideal place to spend New Year. A gorgeous, snug cottage equipped with everything you could possibly need to relax and enjoy good food at home or go out and discover Norfolk.
I\'d recommend Samphire for a romantic break or a great holiday with the kids - but not for the elderly as the stairs would be hard for them. For what we wanted - peace and quiet, a great kitchen, lots to see and do and some good interior design tips, though, it was ideal. Can\'t wait to go back!”
Philippa Cowley-Thwaites from London, December 2009

Volunteers are welcomed see the SHARP website for details. http://www.sedgeford.org.uk/acatalog/Sharp.html The King William pub serves good home cooked food and is very child friendly.
