Due to traffic being very kind to us we arrived earlier than the check in time, but after contacting Christine & Stanley they said that this wasnât a problem. We were met promptly and shown around the property and grounds - all lovely. The Granary was spotless, milk had been left for us in the fridge along with a bottle of local apple juice and a cake. There was also a tray with various condiments, tea bags, coffee etc. The bedrooms were spacious, with wardrobes and drawers, and the beds very comfortable. The wet room was amazing, and perfect for my elderly mum. There was a good selection of miniature toiletries in the bathroom cabinet too. Our cocker spaniel, Pippa, soon made friends and loved exploring the garden. There is also a field behind The Granary that we could use to walk her, with an opening in the far corner to various footpaths, which made for some excellent walks. It was a perfect base to explore Norfolk and what it has to offer. At the end of our stay we all said that it felt like we had been staying with friends, and mum said how safe she felt when we left her to take Pippa across the fields for a walk. Thank you Christine & Stanley for a wonderful holiday, weâd like to visit again in the future, if youâll have us!
