While away your time discovering the beaches, nature reserves and historic landmarks in the Norfolk Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the Broads National Park.

Make yourself at home in the sociable open-plan living area with a characterful wooden beamed ceiling, an exposed brick feature wall, and country-style decor. Snuggle upon the sofa in front of the wood burner-effect electric fire and TV. Cook a romantic meal for two in the ‘L’-shaped kitchen with wooden cabinets and sparkling surfaces, then dine together at the small table with two chairs.
