Definitely would recommend!! I booked as a retreat because my dog recently passed. The property, Fawn Cottage has stairs up into it, just to be aware if you have disability. Otherwise it is a comfortable home from home! The deer are wonderful and the peacock's are a delight also peahens. Tesco is only a five minute walk on the back path. If you loRead moreve nature and peace this is the place for you! Planning to go back with my husband next year. Hide

The accomodation and location were excellent. In fact everything was perfect. To wake up to a herd of deer grazing out of the window, peahens nested in the bell laden chiming tree and guinea foul was blissful. I loved the place.

What an amazing experience. The property is outstanding, lovely modern decor and exceptionally clean. The kitchen is well stocked with all the utensils you need. The location is stunning. The outside pool and egg chairs in the tree house were used everyday by us. It was great to get so close to all the animals. The town of Diss is very quainRead moret and supermarkets are literally 5 minutes walk along a country path. This is a truly magical place for couples to relax and re charge. Stephen was a fantastic hoast and very helpful. We have no hesitation in returning at some point. Hide
