Skip Jack cottages at Ingworth, Norfolk.... What an amazing place to stay, we would highly recommend this place to stay. A private garden and hot tub. private use of the swimming pool, for 2 hours a day. The flat is fully furnished, you couldn't want for anything else. Easy to access all areas of North Norfolk. Norwich is about 15 miles, Cromer was a short 20 min drive. would recommend both Poppy line steam trains. And Bure valley miniature steam, where you can link to a boat trip on the Norfolk Broads..... if you visit great Yarmouth go early as everything closes at 5pm (this was 35 mile drive).

It was nice just to unwind and relax in this superb lodge. It was comfortable and well equipped. We made good use of the hot tub even though the weather was a bit chilly. Highly recommended.

We came to this house with hot tub for a family birthday and it was a fabulous choice. We used the hot tub every day and visited Callander for a wander round the shops. We had a birthday celebration meal at the restaurant right next door to the house and it was fabulous.
