The Granary Store was a very pleasant place to stay. The owners have decorated it very nicely and made it as cosy as possible. They gave us practical information and also tips about the places to visit and avoid. They are very friendly and respect their guests’ privacy. All in all, we enjoyed our stay thoroughly.

We have just returned from a fabulous few days stay at The Granary Store. This idyllic cottage was the perfect location for exploring Norfolk. Nestled away in a beautiful garden, it was a delight to return at the end of each day of exploring to unwind & relax. The cottage itself was quintessential & well equipped & the small little touches made it feel like home from home. The hosts, Joy & Paul were lovely & so welcoming & made us feel right at home. Their knowledge of the local area was most welcomed & their love of nature was evident, all this combined made it a truly wonderful stay. Their warm hospitality, beautiful Granary Store & home will be the reason we shall be returning again. Thank you so much for a wonderful & enjoyable stay. Kelly & Linda
