A short holiday to Norfolk
Given good directions to property. Instructions for parking and accessing the property out of reception hours were easy to follow. Fakenham not too far away for grocery shop. WiFi was not terribly good but the whole area around there seems to be much the same. We didn’t use the leisure facilities as we were only on a short break as our first visit to Norfolk. So much we wanted to see in the area. One little issue was the low flying aircraft which gave us a bit of a fright the first night wondering if there was a heating/water problem. From my FlightRadar App it was not RAF or US Airforce. Seemed to be old propeller planes. Happened every night about 6 o’clock and even went by on its final run at 10 o’clock one night. This was mostly in the dark as we were there late March.
Apart from that the accommodation was spot on for us and well done Norfolk on a lovely visit. Thank you
