It has a great outlook facing fields and duck pond. The owners horses grazing out in the fields. There is lots to see and do locally or a short drive a away or if adventurous Norfolk is a bit further away but do able. If you just want to rest the Granary is a great place for that. The owners are on site if needed but not intrusive. The cottage has all you need. There's a farm shop next door with a small cafe and the pub is a short walk away. Thoroughly recommend the Granary at Brickwall Farm.

Everything was as described in the details. Absolutely nothing to complain about. The village is lovely with the local pub just a couple of minutes to walk to and the village shop is brilliant. The Indian restaurant a 5 min drive away worth a visit. Perfect for walking the dogs and the owners are lovely.
