We had a fantastic stay at Puddle Inn Duck over Christmas. It was the perfect house size for our family gathering and the layout worked really well. Everything was kitted out brilliantly and the Christmas decorations and welcome pack were lovely thoughtful touches. A really peaceful location. Thank you for a wonderful break!

Very comfortable accommodation - clean, tidy and homely. Lovely views from all windows and Horning is a good central base for exploring the Broads and North Norfolk.
