A wonderfully charming little cottage. We had a great stay. The property has a lovely garden a fantastic kitchen and living room and a charming four poster bed. The the summer house is really a star feature and provides a great home for a late night movieWe did have an issue with the shower but this was quickly corrected by the host.

A beautiful cottage to use as a base to explore Norfolk's nature reserves. A wonderful, charming renovation of the cottage, with the most excellent cinema room in the garden. Perfect place for fires and reading one's book. Recommended for a quiet getaway.

The cottage and gardens are beautiful.

The cottage and gardens are beautiful. The cottage itself is full of character. Sadly the heating was provided by storage heaters of which we had no control.
