Gressenhall is a delightful rural Norfolk village with a post office/village stores and a public house. The village is also home to the Gressenhall Farm and Workhouse which is well worth a visit during your stay. The nearby town of Dereham boasts a golf course, swimming pool and ten pin bowling. Gressenhall is an excellent location from which to explore Norfolk, the cathedral city Norwich is a thirty minute drive away or there is a direct bus service from Dereham, the stunning beaches of the North Norfolk coast are approximately a thirty five minute drive and the area abounds with pretty countryside and quiet lanes to explore. 

Reviews

This house is in a beautiful location just 4 miles from Dereham. The house was warm, clean and very well equipped with crockery, cutlery, cooking utensils, everything you would need in a kitchen. A lovely addition was the herbs/spices in the cupboards. The laundry room was also equipped with a washing machine and tumble dryer. A welcome pack too was gratefully received. Thank you to the owner for making our stay so nice. I can definitely recommend this property.

Mrs M,

Accommodation at Dentford Heights was perfect size for our group of 7 adults & 2 small children. Spent most of our indoor time in the vast kitchen/diner/conservatory & the outdoor space is excellent too. Our hosts were friendly, available if needed, but never intrusive. Thank you. Location wise, Gressenhall is a great base for touring Central/North Norfolk and anywhere from Kings Lynn to Norwich is only an easy car ride away. Plenty to do & see. Would we come back again? - Definitely.

Mr S,

An exceptionally clean and tidy house. All bedrooms comfortable and bathrooms well-appointed.Very private with fab views from all angles. Bi-fold doors from open plan, open onto a large patio, with sweeping lawn down to sheep and woods.Great views of wildlife. Easy access onto sensible roads, even-though it is in countryside and ample parking. Owners use a few buildings on site, but they are separate from house- so it still feels private. Lovely friendly and helpful owners with good helpful contact via text. I would thoroughly recommend this property - but would also like to keep it secret just for me to use! One of the best we have been to. Thankyou.

Mrs B,

The location of this property is superb, the equipment contained in the property are excellent, and the owners are so helpful whilst not encroaching on the guests space. This was our second visit to Dentford Heights, but it will not be our last! Highly recommended.

Mrs C,

Third visit and still as amazing as the first. you cant beat a 2 week summer holiday at Dentford Heights, wildlife tennis, music, singing, walks, sheep and the newly opened community pub to all add to the relaxing calm and tranquil feel. Everything is provided and Howard and Jane are on hand if you need anything during the stay - thank you for another lovely holiday. well be back for a fourth stay I'm sure.
