Guests rave about its peacefulness, abundant wildlife, and the joy of observing nature from a comfortable and homely setting.

Guests that stayed at this property said
Most guests found the property homely and comfortable, but there were mentions of a need for a more thorough dusting and cleaning of certain areas, such as the rocking chair and the top storey, which had an issue with flies.
The location is consistently praised for its privacy, unique setting, and proximity to nature, with guests enjoying the wildlife and the views. The secluded and peaceful environment is a highlight for many.
Guests found the beds very comfortable and the property warm and inviting. However, some noted that the furniture could be updated for enhanced comfort.
The property is well-equipped with games, puzzles, and books, and the garden is appreciated. However, comments about the water quality and the need for some renovation suggest that there is room for improvement in facilities and maintenance.
There are no specific mentions of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the hosts. Therefore, this category cannot be scored.

This is a magical and unique place to stay, our 8 year old loved it. Perfect for anyone interested in wildlife and who loves Norfolk's big skies.

This is an absolute dream of a location if you like peace, wildlife and utter privacy. Gorgeous views and a snug accommodation, so cute to stay in. We stayed in the summer when the Honeysuckle was in full bloom and scented the arbour, roses round the gate and a little garden that was well maintained and utterly private. I would imagine it would be just as adorable in the swirling mists of November too. If there is a downside, I would say it was the colour and metalic smell of the water that came out of the taps which stained everything and although rustic, a really good dusting of the rocking chair would have been nice and maybe a renovation of the very tired and worn couch and a wash of the cushions would make it seem a cleaner place.
