This place is amazing - I can’t believe it’s not fully booked the whole year round - although I’m glad it’s not as I’ve already booked it again! The property is so spacious, inside and out. The underfloor heating kept everywhere warm, and the log burner added any extra heat that was needed, as well as just looking beautiful! The kitchen / dinner was beautifully staged for our arrival, with the dinner table all set , which was great as we were eating in the first night. The kitchen is well stocked, with condiments, crockery, pans, mugs, glasses, cling film, foil, tea towels, dishwasher tablets, laundry tablets, washing up liquid, paper towels etc. we’d brought extra bits with us but we didn’t end up using any of the things we’d brought with us (apart from washing up gloves). Everywhere is labelled in the kitchen to help you find things as well. The owners had left a gift package of fresh local apple juice, tea bags, cookies, dog welcome bags, and a kids welcome pack. They’d also stocked the bathrooms with lovely handwash and a toiletries welcome pack. The showers have great pressure and the hot water was endless and very hot throughout our stay. The downstairs en suite was perfect for my elderly parents to have step free access. The upstairs bedrooms and jack & Jill bathroom were so spacious, with great walking wardrobes in both rooms. The owners also accommodated our request for an extra dog, so we had four in the house, but it’s so big that it didn’t feel cramped with all the animals there! The location was perfect to access the north Norfolk coast from. Don’t bother with bringing breakfast with you either as there are two great places to get brunch food from in less than ten minutes! The outside space is also lovely with a pergola sun trap , with plenty of patio furniture. This place is hands down the best place I have stayed at!

The house is beautifully decorated, so roomy with great facilities. It was nice to have a big breakfast kitchen to eat together in an evening and a large tv to help you chill afterwards. The location is brilliant for exploring North Norfolk. We will definitely return.
