We had a lovely couple of nights at the Homestead, very homely. Had a lovely couple of meals at the local village pub which is a two-minute walk, I would suggest you use the torch they provide though to walk to it during the dark/early nights as it’s not lit and it’s on quite a busy road. Garden was perfect & secure for our two little Cavapoo’s. House was very clean and we enjoyed our stay. We found it a good base to explore Norfolk which we did.
