Very nice property, especially if you have a larger group. The five bedrooms are spacious and comfortable. The kitchen is nicely appointed with ample dinner wear and cooking implements.

First full family holiday. Couldn't have booked a better place to spend the week. Owners were both lovely and very welcoming to the whole party. House is set a stunning location and the house itself is beautiful. So much space for the 3 children of the party to run around in. Rooms were wonderfully spacious and light. Kitchen sitting area is hugRead moree and fully stocked for all your needs. Outside seating area is lovely for your morning coffee or evening glass of whatever you drink. You might even catch a glimpse of the local widelife taking a stroll through the garden. A short walk to the nearest country pub where excellent food is severed and the is an area for the kids to play outside. We will 100% look to book another break at Dentford Heights. Hide

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/NoRead morerth 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. Hide

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. OwneRead morers 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. Hide
