A cosy, comfortable and well appointed cottage right in the heart of the village, with easy access to the major routes in the area. Great hosts with lovely welcome basket too.There’s not a lot in the village itself but it’s only about 100yards to a great pub which does pizzas a few nights a week with the friendliest hosts and locals who make you so welcome. There’s a fish and chip van on Thursday 4.30-5.30pm (cash only). There’s a field just behind the village hall to safely walk the dog away from the roads but lots of routes through the fields also. Would definitely book again.

Our second visit to the Old Butchers Shop. Lovely welcome pack on arrival. Beautifully presented cottage, with lovely spacious lounge to relax. Super night rest in comfortable king size bed. Thoughtfully decorated to feel home from home.Plenty to see and do, from easy drive to the coast, or to visit Thetford Forest, and all the pretty villages. Wereham nice small village with pub, and pond, pleasant walk around.Having stayed at many cottages Karina is an outstanding host, easy to communicate and help in anyway she can. Highly recommend and hopefully re visit in the future.
