Lovely cottage. Large dog friendly garden. Anna the host is very welcoming who is on hand to give information on local amenities and surroundings. Good location, 20 minutes from Cromer.

Fantastic little gem in a perfect location for exploring North Norfolk. Owner fantastic with any questions and a lovely welcome package for when you arrive. The Plough Inn at the bottom of the road has great staff and one of the best Sunday carveries you will ever find.
