The Granary was tucked away through the grounds of a private school, as it was the summer holidays it was very quiet. The location is inland however that suited us as we always book a cottage to use as a base to be able to travel to both beaches and other locations inland for days out. It was only 25 minutes to 50 minutes car ride away from many beach locations, including Gorleston on Sea and Winterton on Sea. We also visited Africa Live and Carlton Marshes. Richard and family were very friendly and welcoming. They provided tea, coffee, milk and biscuits on arrival. They also provided some feed for the goats which our boys loved, visiting and feeding them each day. The cottage was spotless when we arrived, very clean, and smelt fresh. The cottage itself uses the space really well. Its well stocked, the kitchen was spacious and had a washing machine and a tall standing fridge freezer which was really useful! There were a few games provided and a pack with plenty of information on walks in the area, and things to see and do. The only thing that I had to put up with for the week was the bathroom (being 5ft 11) when you shower you have to stand very close to the unit itself as the roof is slopped, otherwise you cannot stand straight, and also the same with the toilet. That was only a very minor inconvenience however. The cottage is in the grounds of a working farm so you do have to bear that in mind. We would definitely return!

A hidden gem. A lovely well equipped cottage in a very quiet and secluded location. Nearby village of Chedgrave has many amenities and excellent transport links to nearby towns and villages. Excellent walks nearby. We wouldn’t hesitate to return or recommend
