If you are looking for a peaceful holiday, this is ideal. Even being close to Norwich airport, watching the aircraft coming in so close was enjoyable. It's a great base to visit Norfolk. We usually choose 4 night stays, but, on this occasion we were glad we chose 7 nights, such a relaxing time. Would recommend to family and friends.

The property is warm and welcoming and beautifully clean and modern, yet rustic. Thr safe, enclosed garden meant I didn't have to worry about the dog. I also loved the grounds, where I walked the dog, watching the fish in the beautiful pond. When we arrived, there was a pint of fresh milk, some.toilet roll and a packet of delicious biscuits which, as a seasoned self caterer was pleasantly surprised. In terms of location, we were central to all sorts of destinations for day trips, and far enough not to be hassled by the hustle and bustle of a seaside town. I can't wait to go back! Thank you so much for a delightful stay.
