When we arrived we were greeted by one of the owners who was very friendly and welcoming. The moment we stepped through the door it was very homely. Extremely well equipped property and everything has been thought about books dvds puzzles thankfully we never used as the weather was kind for us to go out. We loved the decorative touches and a lovely welcome basket so we could have a cup of tea and a piece of cake before unpacking. Great location about 15minutes to wroxham 40mins to sherringham 20mins to great yarmouth and parking off road. Lovely enclosed court yard garden.Very comfy beds.The games room was amazing place The only negative which is not the fault of the owners who cannot do anything about is the morning rush hour traffic just something I'm not used to as I live in a cul de sac and a very light sleeper. This certainly did not spoil our holiday in any way.
