An excellent cottage, with plenty of space for our party of seven adults and one baby. You just need to be aware that this is located in a very small hamlet, and all roads in are narrow single track unclassified ones, so unless you are comfortable driving on these and occasionally reversing to allow another vehicle to pass, it won't be for you.

The White house fitted our requirements brilliantly; plenty of room, delightful garden and good enough weather to eat outside. We particularly liked having our own staircase and 'wing' so did not hear what time the grandchildren surfaced!

The grandchildren loved meeting the horses, but were not so keen on the plentiful plums we were encouraged to help ourselves to. We found the location convenient for the Broads, national trust type places and coast. A great place in all senses. Hide
