A long weekend in May with friends, this was the first time we have ever hired a cottage, and we were not disappointed . The place was immaculate , spotless and spacious . Very nice large enclosed and private garden and a hot tub and BBQ both of which we enjoyed to the full.Location in a small village near Norwich is excellent. We all loved it and shall certainly rebook for another break .
