Enjoy the sophisticated dining room, the relaxed drawing room with piano and views across the beautiful gardens, and the superb fitted bespoke kitchen/breakfast room with granite worktops and four oven Aga.

My family spent a wonderful Christmas at Ivy Farm. There was plenty of space for 7 adults and 4 children - a cinema room, snug, and drawing room provided plenty of breakout space for everyone. The kitchen was well-equipped for cooking our Christmas meal, and the dining room had plenty of seating.There's a 3-mile walk in the woods from the doorstep. We visited the Sandringham Estate. There was a fantastic adventure playground with zip wires and wooden structures for children to clamber over. In the evening there was the Luminate show and a fairground close by.We also visited Old Hunstanton Beach. There were plenty of dog walkers and I was amazed that most dogs loved to swim in the freezing sea.On our last day, we visited King's Lynn, with its historic buildings and picturesque town centre. We had brunch at a restaurant overlooking the quayside, before departing for home.

A great venue for a large family holiday age range of 70 years to 7 weeks! A large property like this does need careful oversight to pick up any problems early. We had wonderful weather so the swimming pool was lovely. The ample number of reception rooms meant that those who wanted a bit of peace and quiet could always find somewhere to hide!

Norfolk Hideaways were professional and very helpful. Would definitely use again. They presented us with a lovely comfortable house. Great for family get togethers. Just perfect location for beach and country. Dogs were welcome too.
