The Cattle Shed was perfect for our 3 generation family to stay in, together with our 2 dogs. There were lots of different areas to sit in or eat, so we could all be together or split into groups. The location was lovely and a great base, set between the villages of Binham and Wighton, both with their respective pubs and The Parlour for daytime mRead moreeals and cheese, milk and ice cream. There was so much to do locally, but would recommend renting a beach hut, Holkham Hall, Seal Trip from Blakeney and fish and chips from French's on Wells' harbour front. Hide

A large, very comfortable house that has everything you need. In a remote location but nice pubs nearby. Very wet week so we stayed in a lot - not a hardship.

What a great stay in Norfolk we have all enjoyed, The Cattle Shed really has been marvellous and made our stay 10 times better than we could imagine. All the lovely times we have had cooking together and big family meals around the huge table have been great. We will really miss this house and Norfolk. We would recommend a trip to Burnham Market foRead morer a few hours of shopping and then a beach trip at Holkham. The Pub in Binham is also brilliant. Hide
