Toby
We had a super stay at the cart shed, the accommodation is very comfortable, clean, warm, tastefully decorated. It is in a super location in North Norfolk, with plenty to do, and having the lovely farm shop next door is a particular advantage. Tom was a great host and very available should we have needed (no need- everything was perfect). Only wish we'd stayed longer! Thank you very much.
