About this property
From the humble beginnings of a cowshed on the family farm, Jimmy's Place has been transformed into a romantic retreat for two perched in the rural, Norfolk village of Pulham Market.

Dine at the dining table and chairs for two perched by the window, or delight in an alfresco dining experience in your own private garden with a pretty bistro set, great for the summer months!

Storage space was good, the bed was comfy, and the bathroom was of a high standard. The weather was not warm enough to sit out, but the small garden would have been a quiet area in which to enjoy a coffee. We had the thrill of spotting a Hoopoe, a distinctive bird with a âcrownâ of feathers, hopping around in the driveway of the farmhouse opposite.
