We had a very enjoyable short break as a family of 6. Very useful to have 3 toilets. Beds and pillows extremely comfortable. Kitchen doesn't have tons of cupboard space but enough to fit a small shop of essentials and the fridge and freezer are large. The utility and hall area great for dumping coats and shoes. Not cold enough for the log burner but that looked lovely too. 15-20 mins from Holkham and Wells, so perfectly located for highlights of the area.

A lovely comfortable & well set out cottage. Tucked away at the rear of the complex with private front & back gardens. We had a great stay only marred by the unworkable tv - despite a call to the office. Hopefully now sorted or with instructions.

Lovely cottage in a fabulous location close to many Norfolk attractions. The garden and house are very safe for young children. The facilities are great with a super gas barbecue, outdoor dining area, and everything you need for a holiday including a lovely welcome pack.
