It is worth noting it is a good fifteen minutes from facilities, which was no problem for us but others might not find so suitable. There are some beautiful places to visit around the area, lovely walks, and towns to peruse. The Holly Bush Inn in the nearest village is excellent and certainly worth a visit. Itâs a very comfortable property with everything you could wish for, and certainly perfect for dogs! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Norfolk Family
