Very welcoming. Keith the owner is very knowledgeable of the local area, places to eat and things to do. If you want a peaceful, restful holiday this is the perfect place nestled in a small village but only 10/20 minutes from busy towns. Would highly recommend it.

The Hayloft was the perfect base for our week in Norfolk. It is a beautifully decorated and well-equipped house and it had plenty of space for our family of four. Keith, the owner, made us feel very welcome and was on hand to help with anything we needed. Dilham is an excellent location from which to explore Norfolk, being an easy drive from the BrRead moreoads, Norwich and the coast. Hide
