Watching the stars on a clear night away from light pollution was a fantastic experience that is rare in this country these days. A comfortable and cosy cottage, it had everything we needed for a week - but if you run out of anything the nearest shops are two miles away in the village! The Wild Fowler in Terrington St. Clement does an excellent Sunday lunch and the stunning Mediaeval church at Walpole St. Peter is a must see. Kings Lynn is about twenty minutes' drive away and has a very interesting collection of old buildings plus modern shops and eateries. Overall we really enjoyed our stay here.

The accommodation was clean, tidy, and we received a warm, friendly welcome. Our dogs absolutely loved the secure outdoor space, giving them the freedom to roam safely, making friends with the owners dog. We would definitely recommend it!
