This house is the perfect place to stay. The location is fantastic, central to visiting the many attractions in Norfolk, and with gorgeous views (we saw a complete full rainbow!) The house is well equipped and the beds are so comfortable! The owners left a generous array of welcoming gifts and have styled the house in a wonderful way
