Settle into this characterful three-bed cottage with original features like wooden-beamed ceilings and exposed stone fireplaces. Unwind in the countryside and enjoy relaxing scenic strolls.

Delightful cottage, very comfortable with easy access to great dog walks. A lovely place to celebrate the birth of my second granddaughter nearby!

Thank you for a delightful stay in the cottage. Our family treated us coinciding with our 60th Wedding anniversary, we even had a card from King Charles and queen Camilla addressed to the cottage. A lovely trip on the Broads and a warm welcome at St Mary's church, the only thing we missed is the good old Norfolk accent.

Thank you for a lovely stay. The cottage is beautiful, we loved it. We had an amazing holiday. We especially enjoyed our boat trip on the Broads, canoeing near Dillhem House, Pleasurewood Hills, Banham Zoo, Bewilderwood and our beach day at Holkham.

Beautiful cottage, wonderfully welcoming and homely - very well appointed too. The dogs (and us) loved the local walks - thanks to the very useful guidebook. Beautiful scenery and have loved hearing the various birds every morning and watching the bees do their work in the garden. We didn't want to leave! Also loved the artwork and quirky ornamentsRead more and furniture. Hide
