A stunning location , lots of wildlife to watch . We have been going to Norfolk for about 18 years , but this is by far the best location we have stayed in . Plenty of room so you're not falling over each other . The outside space is great for the children to run wild . Have already booked for next year.

The Boxes is a fantastic venue for a family holiday - it gave us an excellent space for three couples and children. Facilities are all there - and the arrangement of the rooms is well thought out. The lawn / patio was great space to relax and for children to play safely. Close to Blakeney and Cley it gave excellent access to the North Norfolk coastRead more. We really appreciated it. Hide
