Lovely River Cottage
The house is lovely, very clean and comfortable with everything you need to make your stay easy. Had a problem with one of the showers but informed the agent and it was sorted out the same day. Perfectly situated for visiting so many places in Norfolk. We really enjoyed our visit which of course was helped by the wonderful weather.
