HELLO 👋…
A flurry of new followers yesterday so time for a quick reintroduction which is coincidentally great timing as I’ve new pics to share of some of the new additions at Crown Cottage Norfolk!
I’m Lois and, in case you didn’t guess, I live in Norfolk, England having fled the big smoke 4 years ago. You’ll often see me here at Crown Cottage - a holiday cottage we run for guests to enjoy- or at our own home renovation, Meadow View, a couple of miles up the road. I share stories of our Norfolk life whether it be home renovation, lifestyle or the experiences you can have at our cottage. All filled with colour and a touch of humour.
We’ve recently completed some updates at our holiday cottage so here’s a quick canter round courtesy of some lovely images from . We have many returning guests here and I like to try to add new things so there’s always something new to discover. So here’s what I’ve got to show you as you scroll through…

1. Me, sadly not new - the same old version
2. The view of Crown Cottage at the rear
3. Our new outside sundowner spot at the rear of the garden facing west …
4. With some new glassware to be enjoyed
5. A new spot to enjoy the wisteria when you visit in May
6-8 and the irises and newly planted alliums
9-10 new outside table on the patio which leads out from the kitchen …
11-12. …which has also had a new injection of colour with pieces collected from our own holidays in Majorca and Scotland and down the road !
13-15. new pieces added to the double bedroom including fun bedding (which we adore and use in the Master upstairs too) and lamp
16-17. and something we added at the end of last year is this gorgeous toy market for our little guests- we pride ourselves on being family friendly but not at all “kiddified”

For those new around here I’d love you to say hi and for the regulars what do you think to the tweaks?!

MAY: celebrating what we have achieved and moving on from what we haven’t. The usual juggle of work and family life which now includes chickens. The highlight has to be the new garden layout at Crown Cottage Norfolk - completed by us in between guests stays and a total triumph. Oh and the chicken time has been fun too.

Here’s to a happy June for all ###

BEFORES AND AFTERS.. as we approach 6 years of Crown Cottage it’s time to have a look back at some of the transformations here. We’ve always wanted Crown Cottage to appeal to lots of you wanting to holiday here in Norfolk but to have her own personality - to offer something a little bit different whilst not compromising on style and comfort. We think we’ve that and fortunately lots of you seem to agree!

I’d love to know what you think!

WE HAD NO IDEA JUST HOW BEAUTIFUL IT WOULD BE…

With Crown Cottage going live for sale in February 2019 the photos showed a relatively brown winter garden. Needless to say the colour that welcomed us when we finally got the keys in May 2019 (after being gazumped twice) was an utter delight! The plant stall outside was a clue (any locals remember it?).

This garden is a delight with it really peaking in May and June. Our new bench and pathway has been designed for more year-round interest, and I’ve another treat up my sleeve with that in mind too. Always looking to add new bits and pieces to this space which is far from your average holiday cottage 😉

SAVE FOR LATER: GARDEN POT PLANT LIST… lots of requests that I share what I’ve planted in these gorgeous terracotta pots. All the info is in this post, as well as a link in stories if you want to read more about them. Pots are an opportunity to have lots of fun with colour so, most importantly, choose what makes your heart sing!

Happy potting. Any questions let me know X

IS IT A BANK HOLIDAY unless you’ve ended the day with an unfinished job in the garden?! If you’ve been following stories you’ll know the task was ambitious: to create a new pathway to join the existing paths and greenhouse to the recently created sunset bench spot under the cartshed, within the five hour changeover period between old guests leaving and new guests arriving. We made excellent progress but in true bank holiday style we haven’t quite finished the job with gravel still to go in. It’s looking fabulous though, and new guests can use the path with new points of interest and the corten steel edging fits in beautifully with the brick of the cottage and the tiles of the cartshed. This relatively simple update to the garden has turned out even better than we had hoped with guests having more spots to sit and relax in and will make this special cottage garden more manageable in high summer. We can’t wait to finish it off next weekend. Now just to book ourselves into the cottage to try it all out ourselves!
