Norfolk Calling

First post for a while. (Special apologies to Maria's mum!) Not much time for rambling of late. Both cottages have been very busy and we only have very limited availability between now and the end of August. Still getting some great feedback from guests which is reflected in the number of repeat bookings. (25% of bookings year to date). It really does make the time and effort put into keeping the cottages clean and well maintained very worthwhile. It just gives us a really good feeling to know that our guests have enjoyed their holiday. Have managed a couple of rambles down to Salthouse and back up from the coast via the Pheasant Hotel at Kelling. No mega sightings for me but locally Pallid Harrier, Red Rumped Swallow, Collared Pranticole have all been seen within the last couple of weeks (Citrine Wagtail at Cley as well) The Mudd family (making a second visit to Bridge Cottages) bagged 116 species over their two week stay earlier this month including nightingale on Salthouse Heath. Hoping to get out onto Kelling Heath when I have a week off in mid June to find a churring nightjar or two. Prospective guests please note the photo attached to this post is of the 'montana' climbing the garden shed behind no.3 Bridge Cottages. It is not a picture of the accommodation for let!!
