Binham is a beautiful, peaceful village retaining all the charm and character of a bygone age. The village has the remains of an early 12th century Benedictine priory, where classical concerts are held throughout the summer and the whole area is steeped in history. The Georgian town of Holt is seven miles away with the harbour town of Wells four miles away. Also nearby is the picturesque village of Blakeney, where narrow streets slope down to the tidal creek, and which offers sailing and beautiful coastal and marshland walks. The well-stocked village shop is a legendary village institution, as is the gift shop and pub.

We spent a very comfortable week in Abbey House, enjoying the Norfolk countryside. The property is very well welcoming with a well equipped kitchen, spacious living area, a comfortable bed and fabulous shower set up in the wet room bathroom. Our host, Tom, was very responsive when we were in touch with him. The apartment opens onto a patio and gRead morearden which would be delightful in warmer weather. Binham is a great location and the Chequers village pub and The Parlour cafe were an added bonus, as was the glorious Binham Priory. Hide

This is a charming property in a delightful village. The pub is nearby and serves imaginative meals. The Priory is well kept and interesting.

The house was warm and comfortable. We enjoyed the spaciousness the garden and the extremely. comfortable king sized bed. The wet room and everything being on one level was very useful as I have mobility problems.

Fabulous place to stay great location for all the things we like to do. Very comfortable beds and water pressure in the wet room amazing. Beautiful well tended garden great for watching the local feathered visitors, we were quite surprised to see a buzzard sitting in a tree trying to dry himself after some quite heavy rain. Excellent food at the pRead moreub next door and the Parlour breakfast is outstanding. Hide

Lovely house in an amazing location. Beds were really comfortable, nice to have fluffy white towels. Very short walk to nice pub with great food, well worth a stroll up to the Parlour for breakfast.

The property is in a good location, Binham has good local amenities (pub, shop, dairy shop etc) and the property is quite spacious with access to a lovely communal garden. Some of the furniture is looking a bit tired, curtains in the main bedroom don't open and close properly (the track isn't heavy duty enough for the weight of the curtains) and bRead moreetter outside chairs would be nice.

Please note: 1) the entry steps/threshold are awkward for mobility-limited 2)the armchairs are 'worn out' and uncomfortable/difficult 3) it was unseasonably cold and the heating was 'barely adequate' 4) the duvet was too small for the bed We would be happy to book with you again

Surprised at not having even the most basic welcome pack. This did indeed surprise the owner when we spoke to him. I think by now that all instructions for appliances should be available. Information on fuse boxes should be available. In our case it took 7 hours to Reconnect with electricity. The tap for the sink in the kitchen was not fitteRead mored properly and consequently was dangerous because of the extreme heat of the water. None of the waste bins had been fitted with bags and neither were there any laundry bags for when we left. On the plus side the beds were very comfortable and the shower room was excellent The grounds were lovely and it was nice to be able to sit outside There was no lack of kitchen utensils or crockery or cutlery Our earlier comments wouldnt deter us from a return visit at sometime.
