We have had a wonderful week in this beautiful and cosy cottage and the weather has been a super bonus! Highlights included the tractor ride at Holkham, lunch at The Victoria, visit to Binham Priory and fish and chips from French’s. Thank you for providing the cot and high chair and for the lovely treats on arrival!
