The Old Garage is really well equipped. Our visit was an all to brief long weekend but we were able to relax the moment we walked through the door, until the time we left. Great location in between two good pubs. Nice secure garden and parking. It is a house we would be happy to return to.

Great location for accessing the beaches, villages and towns of North Norfolk. As a family group of seniors and juniors we walked averaging 6 miles a day from the cottage to beaches, bird watching and sports facilities; hourly bus routes to Hunstanton and Wells on doorstep

We had the best Christmas at The Old Garage. We couldn't have asked for more from the accommodation. It is spacious and cozy and has literally everything you could possibly need. The location is fabulous for exploring the Norfolk coast and has 3 pubs located within walking distance. Would highly recommend The Chequers, next door. Would highly recoRead moremmend. Hide
