The Barn was spotlessly clean and welcoming. We found the heating system confusing but Brian helped us to use it and asked Claire to sort it out, thank you. I left a jumper in the cottage and Claire has posted it back to me which I really appreciate. There is lots of dog walking along the river straight from the cottage through the beautiful churchyard. I recommend A Piece of Cake for lunch, although the day we just turned up it would have been better to have booked. The Red Lion next door to the pub isn't open all the time.

Just spent a week here, it was lovely and relaxing holiday, in a perfect place, lots of local amenities near by, the barn was lovely, very well equipped with everything we needed, we usually come on the broads twice a year, but made a change in this barn. The only fault we could find was the lights at the hot tub, was jot substantial enough, but the hot tub was amazing place to chill, will definitely book again 🥰
