Offering welcoming accommodation for up to three guests, the imaginatively updated single-level barn conversion features polished wooden flooring and timber beams, and makes a relaxing base for keen walkers and nature lovers.

Our 7th stay in this lovely cottage, now home from home for us. Still enjoy its location for visiting our favourite places in Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridgeshire. Still enjoy also, after a day out and about, sitting on the patio watching the beautiful sunsets.
