Enjoy the sophisticated dining room, the relaxed drawing room with piano and views across the beautiful gardens, and the superb fitted bespoke kitchen/breakfast room with granite worktops and four oven Aga. For more room to spread out there’s a charming garden room, a cosy snug and even a cinema room to the ground floor.

The stunning established gardens are perfect for playing, relaxing with a book or dining alfresco.

Ivy Farm was a really beautiful house with everything we needed for a great family holiday. Special mention for the Cinema room and of course the heated swimming pool both of which were a great hit with our two grandchildren aged 11 and 14 ! Special mention also about the very much appreciated stock of everyday essentials which made our holiday so easy. No need to shop for kitchen roll, loo rolls, coffee, tea, washing up liquid etc, etc. We have done lots of self catering holidays before but this was really exceptional. Lots of parking spaces on the drive and gorgeous villages, pubs and beaches within a short drive. We can certainly highly recommend Ivy Farm and hope to return.

My family spent a wonderful Christmas at Ivy Farm. There was plenty of space for 7 adults and 4 children - a cinema room, snug, and drawing room provided plenty of breakout space for everyone. The kitchen was well-equipped for cooking our Christmas meal, and the dining room had plenty of seating.There's a 3-mile walk in the woods from the doorstep. We visited the Sandringham Estate. There was a fantastic adventure playground with zip wires and wooden structures for children to clamber over. In the evening there was the Luminate show and a fairground close by.We also visited Old Hunstanton Beach. There were plenty of dog walkers and I was amazed that most dogs loved to swim in the freezing sea.On our last day, we visited King's Lynn, with its historic buildings and picturesque town centre. We had brunch at a restaurant overlooking the quayside, before departing for home.
