Lovely Property in a Lovely Location

Excellent communication. Ample parking. The property was immaculate, with a nice mix of modern and antique furniture. The kitchen had everything you could need, and more. Comfortable beds. Lovely grounds with great views, and we were treated to a couple of amazing sunsets. Would definitely stay here again.

Just lovely!

Renovated with care and attention, Eight Balls is a lovely, spacious and well equipped "home" combining elegance and comfort. The owners were friendly, welcoming but not intrusive. A great place to relax but with many options of things to do and places to go within easy access.

Beautiful cottage with everything you could need

Beautiful cottage, elegantly furnished and well equipped with much more than the standard self-catering fare: plenty of loo rolls, kitchen towels, dishwasher tablets, cleaning products, oil, even herbs and spices. Lovely outdoor space too, and a friendly welcome from the owners.

Why they chose this property

This property is of huge interest to many people the history of it being at the heart of it. The USA airforce were stationed here during WW11 and left behind murals on the walls which we have preserved. We have tried to retain the personality of the properties and have had some fantastic feedback from visitors. This property is all on one level with wide doors and bi-fold doors to patio areas, which makes it ideal for anyone with mobility problems. A large shower is suitable for for a shower chair which can be provided upon request.

What makes this property unique

Quarters Cottages are situated in the very heart of Norfolk. It's a peaceful area. Most attractions can be reached by car within 30 minutes of the property. Wells next the sea and Holkham are very popular and there are many national trust properties around to year we have the very first Norfolk day starting on July 27 with lots of events being held all around Norfolk. This year Norwich is featuring the GoGo Hares. This is a charity event and features fifty sculptures of Hares situated around the city. This is a fun way of seeing the sites of Norwich and has proved very popular in past years with children who can tick off the various decorated Hares on the trail.
