We enjoyed a lovely few days with our 2 dogs. Plenty of space, nice and warm, well equipped kitchen, nice bathroom and comfy bed. Used the hot tub only once as it was raining the other days. It was clean and set to 39 degrees which was fabulous. Open fields view. Fabulous walking places all around. We particularly liked the Blitchling Estate, Cromer and Sheringham. Very handy laundry room with little honesty shop and a hose pipe outside which was a godsend for washing the dogs!

We enjoyed our stay in Squirrels Rest. It is well located for visiting many attractions in Norfolk. The home is well sized, well equipped and very comfortable, with a nice garden area and hot tub. We would recommend for a stay in the area.
