Fabulous house next door to the friendly and helpful owners and in a quiet area on the edge of a small village. The river is just across the quiet road in front of the house. The shops are a short drive away.

We stayed here in August with our two children aged 12 and 14 and our dog and we couldn’t recommend it more highly. The location is very peaceful and provided some much needed rest and relaxation for us all. The owners were very kind and welcoming and we enjoyed our biscuits on arrival! The cottage was very clean and the beds were comfy. The garden is beautiful and very dog (and kid!) friendly and we all enjoyed chilling out in the summer house. The local area is very picturesque and there is plenty to do. The kids enjoyed the beach at Wells and go ape and Segway’s at Thetford forest.
There wasn’t a dishwasher in the cottage which we knew about and no freezer but this was minor and didn’t detract at all from our holiday enjoyment.
We really enjoyed sharing this charming cottage and definitely hope to return

Very comfortable cottage, extremely well equipped and lovely garden.
Very comfortable cottage, extremely well equipped and lovely garden. Quite a long way from anywhere so you'd definitely need a car - but the peaceful setting is worth it. Only minor things were the downstairs bathroom (which is quite usual in cottages of this age) and the few electric sockets in the bedroom. However, don't misinterpret this comment - it was a great place to stay and we would highly recommend it.
Very lovely cottage with great outdoor area if you have a dog. Very accommodating owners. Only drawback was it was quite a long drive away from the beach.

Really lovely cottage and garden.
Really lovely cottage and garden. So clean with lovely bedding and pretty blinds etc. When we stayed the weather was beautiful and hot and we used the garden and summer house a lot. Only (tiny) downside was that the property didn't have a dishwasher. Very pretty surroundings, backing onto farmland and the river opposite. Had a great time and would definitely recommend.

Another great week at Green Bank Cottage.
Another great week at Green Bank Cottage. As usual all the home comforts you could wish for and a lovely cake for us on arrival. Green Bank Cottage is such a peaceful sanctuary, a calming retreat from daily routines and work. Congratulations to hosts Bernadette and Fred for being given the Customers Choice Award 2nd year running, so well deserved. Immaculately clean, super comfy beds, pretty garden with lovely views and a cozy summerhouse. With riverside walks and fishing on the doorstep. It really is a special place, which becomes more apparent once you get home and realise what you are missing. We will definitely be back.

Owner is lovely & went out of her way to ensure we had everything we needed, including ice for our gin! The summer house looked very cosy but we had very cold weather so we weren't able to try it out.
