We loved the house with it's many rooms and interesting decor. We made full use of the games room in the conservatory. The garden was big and beautiful, perfect for a dog and outdoor games or to sit and relax. The owners were really helpful with any questions we had during our stay. Beautiful weather all week which was a bonus.
Elaine
Lovely farmhouse in a great location. We had a few issues but the owners helped to resolve them very quickly. Very comfortable, excellent playroom/equipment and grounds for the children. Great beach at Overstrand, Bure Valley railway and NT properties nearby.
Clare
This is a lovely house in a great location. The extensive gardens are lovely and extensive, it was always possible to find a peaceful space. The conservatory is a perfect playroom, making the children feel welcomed. The space was just right, lots of comfortable space to get together and five generous bedrooms. It is well equipped throughout, and the beaches are near and glorious
Christine
We loved the house and its characters and features. The garden was so big and beautiful. The location was quiet and perfect and close to Cromer and Sheringham. However you do have to drive to eat out or go to a shop. We did have a few concerns which we have shared separately with the owner. Hopefully he will take them on board and make improvements.
