Nature lovers will find day trips to the Norfolk Broads and RSPB reserves particularly memorable while superb family days out can be found all along the North Norfolk coastline offering traditional seaside fun. Steeped in history the famous St Mary's church at Houghton-on-the-Hill is definitely worth a visit.   Anyone with a competitive nature may wish to visit the local go-kart track or, for a more sedate pace and retail therapy, head into Swaffham or historic City of Norwich.

Guests entering this beautiful detached house will initially find the porch, ideal for coats and shoes or wiping down muddy paws before stepping into the entrance hall. From here guests will be greeted by two separate lounges ideal for larger parties who wish to find some time for themselves. Both lounges have comfortable sofas, one with Smart TV’s to help relax and recharge after spending a day exploring the local area. One of the lounges also features an open fire enabling guests to create a cosy atmosphere and the other has one side of the dual facing wood burner. The kitchen/diner offers guests the chance to cook up a feast with an Aga style gas oven and hob, fridge, freezer and microwave. There is a handy utility cupboard in the kitchen/diner which has a dishwasher and washing machine. The dining area has a table and chairs to seat all and the other side of the dual facing wood burner providing a perfect backdrop to celebrate any occasion. There is a lovely cosy snug, ideal for children and adults alike to spend any remaining downtime with a selection of board games. Completing the ground floor accommodation is the shower room with separate shower and WC. There are three bedrooms located on the first floor all with views over the garden, the first of which is a spacious super-king-size with feature fireplace, the second is a king and the third, a single. The bathroom with a beautiful roll top bath, WC and the contemporary tiling create a sophisticated place to soak and reinvigorate. Ascending the slightly steeper staircase to the second floor and minding your head on any low doorways, the last of the bedrooms can be found off the second-floor landing, both of which are doubles one double room has an extra single bed, with steps leading down and views over open fields one having a dressing area with built in wardrobes and an en-suite bathroom with hand-held shower over bath and WC, completing the accommodation is a games room with play station and sofa bed.

Absolutely fabulous space. Five in our group so we relished having a lot of space, but even if there were more of us, the house could accommodate that. We all felt safe and comfortable and it was perfect for our group. Would definitely want to stay there again. Thank you for such a wonderful property.

The house was perfect for our family group (7 adults / 2 boys and dogs) over the Christmas period. It was spacious enough for us to enjoy spending time together but also had a games and TV room. The roaring fire and decorations made it feel christmasy. We found some great dogs walks but it was a shame the pub next door was closed! Thanks to Sally tRead morehe host for being attentive although as everything was perfect we had no real call to bother her. Totally recommend staying! Hide
