Lovely location within an easy drive of the whole north west coast. You can even see the sea to the west from the driveway. It doesn't have direct access to a garden but the orchard is a nice place to sit as well as having an area to hang washing but bring your own pegs. The only downside is that you need a car to get anywhere, there are no walks from the door. There was also an extremely yappy dog next door which drove us mad at the weekend, thankfully it appeared to be owned by a partner who didn't appear to live there all the time so peace and quiet resumed during the week. The only other very small issue was a towel rail that needs repairs and a bulb that sometimes flickered in the kitchen.

Excellent fixtures and fittings with plenty of useful equipment in the kitchen. The location is really good for visiting the Norfolk coast and Sandringham. The TV in the lounge is quite small but outside of Euro24 thatâs not a big issue. Iâd be happy to use it again if we should return to Norfolk.
