The Manor House, part of which dates back to the 1800s with much of the property alot older, has been thoughtfully restored to retain much of its period charm, with interesting features throughout. This period property has all the up-to-date conveniences that discerning guests require for their perfect getaway. In the dining room, you can still see the old butler bells that were used to summon ‘the help’ in days gone by. There are also traditional open fires and a wood burner to relax by, yet the feel of this beautiful property is still modern, fresh and very light and airy. With lots of places to relax in, you may be tempted to stay home, but if you do head out, you will find lots of great places to explore. In under 15 minutes you can be at bracing Brancaster beach, great for sunbathing in summer and walking in winter. Head east to Holkham beach, which was featured in Shakespeare in Love, and the popular village of Wells-next-the-Sea with its picturesque quay, narrow gauge railway and quaint mix of artisan and traditional seaside shops, cafés and amusements. Further along the coast lies Blakeney, Cley, Sheringham and Cromer with its famous Edwardian promenade and pier.
Pretty coastal villages, many of which offer artisan shops and great places to eat, salt marshes and beaches can be found to the west. The Victorian town of Hunstanton, with it’s famous stripy cliffs, has a beach that really does seem to go on forever and here you will find a small funfair, Sealife Centre and lots of traditional seaside amusements. Aptly named ‘Royal Norfolk’ has lots of stately homes and National Trust properties, including The Sandringham Estate, Peckover House and Gardens, Holkham Hall and Blickling Hall. History lovers should try to squeeze in a visit to the medieval city of Norwich, with it’s magnificent Norman castle and numerous museums, or perhaps visit the hanseatic quarter of Old Kings Lynn, which offers historical tours and, for the brave, ghost walks. There are many opportunities for bird watching at Titchwell Marsh, Scolt Head Island and Cley Marshes, and lots of great cycling routes and beautiful coastal walks. The surrounding area has lots of great places to eat out, many of which serve fresh local produce, but those wishing for a relaxing night in will be spoilt for choice too, with a state of the art kitchen and a pizza oven in the grounds. The Manor House has great places to dine either al fresco or by the wood burner, so foodies and casual diners alike will be delighted that they chose to stay at this stunning property. Beach 10 miles. Shop and restaurant 2 miles.

Very spacious nice patio shaded area plenty of fridge space, great location less than 20 mins to all the places we wanted to go. One or two things need attention but nothing that would put me off going again. Caretaker responded promptly. Would definitely recommend for large family gatherings

The reason for our stay was to celebrate 50th birthdays for 3 nights (guests aged 44-75). The house was perfect for this occasion. Communication from the start was great and all questions were answered. Also there is a number whilst you are on site but we didn’t need it until the last day. We used the outside areas as the weather was lovely. We had a mini Olympics on the front lawn and had team games! The table and chairs outside the kitchen door is a lovely area to sit and listen to the birds in the morning. All the bedrooms were comfortable and everyone slept well. The snug is perfect for reading a book and having a coffee to get some peace from everyone. The kitchen had everything you could need for snacks to a full dinner party (some information on working the appliances would be helpful, although we worked it out in the end!). The house was even bigger than we thought as there are extra staircases and spaces not in the photos. The lounges are great. We had a quiz one evening and there is plenty of space for everyone to sit. Everyone had a great weekend and even discussed returning at some point. Highly recommend.

A wonderful base for a spending a week with family and friends. Syderstone Common is just a short walk away and there are many places nearby for coastal walks and bird-watching. We were blessed with good weather so could be outside, exploring, every day. Although situated in the centre of the village, The Manor House is in a very peaceful setting. We enjoyed the courtyard outside the kitchen - a lovely area to sit in the sun - and the games room was popular with the children. The children also loved all the nooks, crannies and multiple doors in and out of rooms inside the house. There were 14 of us in the house (three generations) and the property, being really spacious, meant that nobody was on top of anybody else. The beds were very comfortable; and the peace and quiet of the place gave everyone an excellent night’s sleep. The owner (Chris) and caretaker (Matt) were easily contactable and the couple of queries we had were answered very promptly.
