  • G family and Ned the dog

    What a beautiful and well equipped cottage. We have had the most wonderful week. Holkham beach, The Sealife Centre, Holt and Pensthorpe were real highlights. The rain and wind hasn't affected the beauty of North Norfolk at all. Can highly recommend lunch at Creake Abbey! We are so pleased to have found The Cart Shed and will definitely be back!

  • K & Family

    The house is absolutely beautiful, a lovely layout for a good family get together. Open planned space, cosy with the fireplace and had everything we needed in the kitchen, toys for the kids and perfectly clean. Really spacious, comfy beds and clean bathrooms. Would definitely recommend and go back!

  • L & Family

    Loved our stay here! The property is beautiful and well looked after. A 5 minute walk to the local pub and plenty of other things to do locally!
