Lovely cottage, very comfortable and spotless clean. Great location near to a pub. Lovely walks nearby and ideally placed for Holkham, Wells and the North Norfolk coast.Parking is slightly tricky as access is via a narrow archway which our Hyundai only just managed.Great stay. Highly recommend.

Lovely place, great location. Very clean.Just a few things that wasn’t great…No lock on bathroom door, oven we couldn’t get to work which made dinners difficult, kettle was in desperate need of descaling and to park your car you need to drive through 2 houses which if you have a 4x4 or large family car it literally leaves a few inches either side. Would stay again
