We instantly felt at home at the Snuff Box cottage. It's so relaxing to stay here. It has everything you could possibly need at hand. The new shower is fantastic and it's missed already! The owners are really friendly and made us feel very welcome (including our rescue Staffy who loved the garden - there is also a sports field nearby if your dog is well behaved). The village itself is served by a local mini Morrison's shop but there are plenty of larger supermarkets within 10 minutes drive too. There is also a great bus service that runs every 20 minutes into King's Lynn which is fab if you want to leave your car behind for the day to visit the shops and historic attractions. We didn't risk the ferry over from West Lynn as it was very windy but definitely one to try next time! Snettisham and Heacham beaches are dog friendly and only 20 minutes drive. Altogether, a great area to stay and a great change from the usual North coast tourist areas. Really enjoyed it! Many thanks!

We had a lovely holiday in the very clean & comfortable Snuff Box. Absolutely perfect with a large dog with a safe, secure and spacious garden for him to relax in. We would be very happy to re- visit the cottage in the future & continue to explore the area that was filled with places to visit. I also loved my morning walk around the village church yard & the local fish & chips was plentiful & delicious.
