The house is a brilliant place to be with a large group. Outdoor hot tub, heated indoor pool, beautiful outside space/garden with outdoor table and seating big enough for everyone, games room, big kitchen with everything you need to cater for a large number, large dining area and ample reception space (plus a laundry room). Plenty of parking. It is in a quiet, secluded area (so no-one to disturb with late-night hot-tubbing) but is only 10mins from a Lidl and a mile or so from a pub. But note that it is an old building so the stairs might be a problem for some and no toilets on the very top floor which has 3 bedrooms on it. Owner is very responsive and helpful - and leaves a home-made cake for visitors!

An excellent venue for a family celebration! We had 3 generations come together for a special birthday. The Hall simply blew us away. There was enough rooms to accommodate us all and with 3 sitting/day rooms allowed us to catch up in groups and still have room for quiet chats. The Hall was spotless, beds very comfortable and the kitchen well stocked to cater for large meals.The best bit - we all agreed - was the outdoor space, big enough for dogs to run and footie matches, let alone the large swimming pool. There was something special about sitting in the hot tub watching the clouds in the big Norfolk skies as well as stargazing at night. If you’re looking for great family times together, Hall Farm has it all!
