One of the largest villages in West Norfolk's Borough of King's Lynn is Dersingham. The Norfolk Lavender plant farm, tea rooms, and gift store are close. It is located on the boundaries of the Royal Sandringham Estate, which is home to an elegant mansion, a chapel, and public gardens. Dersingham is well-served by a Post Office, two supermarkets, a butcher shop, newsagents, and takeaway restaurants. It also boasts a lot of local amenities. The surrounding mediaeval Norfolk village of Snettisham is distinguished by the charming golden brown homes that are affectionately referred to as "gingerbread houses" due to the colouring of the local carr stone, which is rich in iron and was used in their construction. The North Norfolk Coast, which includes the kid-friendly coastal town of Hunstanton, is easily accessible, as is the rspb reserves at Snettisham and Titchwell. a great starting point for exploring North Norfolk's many attractions.

A very negative feedback from us was the dog hairs embedded in the carpets. The vacuum cleaner would only clean the hairs on the surface. When walking on the carpets big chuncks of hair would appear and no amount of cleaning would get rid of them. They appeared daily. It was not pleasant. Sorry to give such a negative feedback as the rest of the property was good.

Cottage was clean and spacious with some handy extras. The garden was perfect and secure for our dogs and with the comfortable furniture we enjoyed being out there too.The air fryer was a bonus as we use one for cooking most days at home so it made evening meals easy. The powerful fan was much appreciated for our dogs and us as we had some really hot weather during our stay. There was lots of storage room for our luggage and the main bedroom was spacious compared to other properties we have stayed in. Loved the sensored night light in the hallway and the filtered water. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Potter's Retreat and love the quiet area. We hope to return again in the future. Thank you.
