Book this impressive, former farmhouse for your group stay in North Norfolk. Sleeping eight guests, the spacious, characterful, four-bedroom retreat, which offers dog-friendly accommodation, is situated at Sco Ruston, 2 miles from Coltishall and 10.5 miles from Norwich. Ideal for spending time in the beautiful Norfolk Broads, it comes with a games room, where you can challenge each other to pool tournaments.

Wander inside and head through to the impressive lounge/diner, where you can congregate after your many excursions. Open the French doors in here on fine summer days or light a crackling open fire to bring a cosy glow to the beamed space. Gather on the soft seating to play charades or find a good film on the Smart TV that everyone will enjoy. The kitchen/diner is another superb social space, where you can prepare hearty feasts for your party, make cakes and roast dinners in the Aga and pause at the breakfast table with a cup of coffee. A handy electric oven can be found in the utility room. At the end of each fabulous day away, climb the stairs to the first floor of the property.

Dine out on the patio, watch the children and pets race across the lawn and make the most of the games room.

We had a wonderful stay at Manor Farm House. The property was large and easily accommodated our family of 7. We had many happy moments around the kitchen table and in the large comfortable sitting room. We will return!

A homely property but in need of a little maintenance to make it feel up to date on the plumbing. A nice Aga to keep you warm.

We had a lovely few days staying at this gorgeous farmhouse in the beautiful Norfolk countryside. It was perfectly situated for exploring Norwich and The Broads. We hired a dayboat from Aldiss in Wroxham and spent a great day on the rivers Bure and Ant. The property had everything we could wish for, including a beautiful Aga and constant hot water.Read more Having two living rooms meant we could read in the quiet snug (or as we called it "The Morning Coffee Room") or spend the evenings relaxing together in the larger - and equally comfortable - lounge; both rooms open out onto the spacious garden where we played games or sat together on the outdoor chairs. We thoroughly recommend this farmhouse and would love to visit again. Hide

This is a lovely, comfortable house with plenty of space in a quiet location, perfect for family gatherings. And it's really well equipped with everything you need. I appreciated the welcome pack and flowers to greet us - such a nice touch after a long journey. Although you need a car here, it's not far to Norwich, North Walsham (which has a surRead moreprisingly lovely church), Aylesham and the broads where we hired a boat. If you want the beach, Cromer and Sheringham aren't that far. There are pubs with dining areas for eating out not far from the house. We liked the Rising Sun with its riverside location. Hide

House is in a quiet location with loads of space and excellent for bringing a dog. Norwich, Norfolk Broads and North and East Coast are all within half an hour.

We enjoyed our stay after putting aside a number of disappointments, the main one being that, despite the property description, there are no en-suite shower rooms - all showers are over bath and one en-suite only has a bath. The standard of cleaning was also a let down.

This lovely farm house is probably the most relaxing and comfortable we have ever stayed in. There are a couple of issues but on the whole our stay was excellent.
