A lovely cottage in a lovely location. The one level accommodation was clean, functional and very cosy making our stay extra special. It was the last couple of days of the wet weather when we arrived but the cottage gave one that embraced feeling that if we had to stay in the dry we would be more than happy. The village had the real feel of a lRead moreived in Norfolk village and the locals we had the pleasure of talking to were helpful and welcoming. Nice to hear a Norfolk accent in Norfolk which is not always the case in the coastal villages. Nothing but compliments for our host who provided everything in the cottage we knew we were onto a winner when we tasted the complimentary chocolate brownies. Forget the guide books Lucy can recommend all the nicest places to visit. But should a guide book or autobiography or novel be your choice you will find it difficult to surpass the library available to select from. We have had numerous holidays and breaks in North Norfolk but can honestly say this was well up with the very best. Hide

A lovely spacious property with everything we needed indoors and out - the garden is a sun trap and fully fenced in for the dog. A great location for pubs, dog walks and the Norfolk coast and countryside.

A lovely stay, weather was variable but we managed a countryside walk in Lt Walsingham and a walk by the sea in Salthouse. The Dun Cow pub is great for Sunday lunch.
