Lovely warm, well equipped cottage in great location overlooking Hickling Broad. Enjoyed use of the rowing boat provided and saw loads of wildlife, eg, deer, kingfisher, marsh harrier and a grass snake swimming next to the boat in the broad. Some of the doorways are quite low, so there were some banged heads, but I didn’t really notice as I’m 5’4”. Also loved playing table tennis in the garage. Very relaxing week, thank you.
