We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and the cottage was warm and cosy. The welcome pack was a lovely surprise and very appreciated. We visited Snettisham, Brancaster and Wells next the sea which were all easily accessible from the cottage. The cottage is very well equipped and in a lovely peaceful location, will definitely visit again.

Quiet, comfortable & well equipped cottage- complete with roaming hens & a few cockerels that crow should you over sleep! Generous welcome pack. NB Be prepared for steep stairs…… but if you’re fit and able they’re not a problem.
