This property was in a beautiful location and perfect for touring around Norfolk. The barn has been renovated to a high standard. We particularly enjoyed the countryside view from the lounge window. Whilst on the owners property with another holiday barn the outside space was separate. So peaceful and a lovely garden to admire. We would definitelRead morey stay there again. Hide

The cottage was well presented and equipped. Quiet location yet short drive from waterside locations. Could only be improved with better defined outside space. That said, the cottage/location was amazing.
