We have enjoyed a super relaxing week in your lovely cottage. Have loved watching the wildlife, rabbits on the front lawn, hares hopping around and so much birdsong! Cottage was spotless so thank you! Had some lovely walks, meals etc. Sculthorpe Mill did great meals and a beautiful outdoor space / rear garden. Had a real 'hot week' so super bonus.

Holkham Skies was literally the perfect half term get away. We have a 3 and 5 year old (and 12 yo Whippet) the house was a perfect size for us. Great location, stones through from amazing beaches and villages. Norfolk Hideaways were always responsive and so helpful!

What a lovely cottage in the most perfect setting. We have enjoyed walks with the dogs straight from the cottage every day. We have never seen so many hares in our lives. Racing across the fields, laying low then leaping out of the grass as we approached, and even a couple of times sunbathing in the garden. A pair of kites hunted overhead and we saw roe deer slipping into the woods as they sensed us nearby. Lovely treats from Walsingham Farm Shop and Walsingham Barns are worth a visit too. I've already been checking dates for next year!
