Although only 5 miles or so from Diss you really feel that are in the countryside ...loads of wildlife like pheasants and deer. So quiet at night ...we loved it.

We had a lovely mini break. The house was very clean and tidy. It had everything you would possible need. The rooms are lovely size and very comfortable. The Hot tub was a great addition. The local pub was nice and friendly would recommend The Crown in Pulham for a lovely meal. The scones , Jam and cream were a nice welcome. Will definitely recommond to stay here and we will come back again for sure.

Well what can i say about Highgrove, this is our 3rd visit and a 4th wont be long coming. This cottage has everything you need, a fantastic cream tea ready for your arrival and Cheryl, one of the owners is absolutely wonderful. Diss is only 10 mins drive away and has everything you need, Norwich is a great city and is only 25 mins away, lots of attractions in the area, all with 45/60 mins drive. Beds are comfy, hot tub is fantastic with a view over the surrounding fields and kitchen is well equipped, cant wait to return.
