Diss is only a 10min drive away and has everything you would need, Norwich is only 30mins away and is a fantastic city to visit, there's also plenty of attractions nearby, nothing more than an hours drive,Highgrove its self has everything you will need and is very comfortable and the hot tub is perfect after a busy day exploring, Cheryl, one of the owners is lovely and on hand if you need anything.Looking forward to visit No5 :)

Had an amazing stay, dogs had best time ever. Rooms were spacious and comfortable. Lovely to have peace and quiet. Hot tub was a welcome addition and thoroughly enjoyed by all. Lovely welcome surprise. Everything required was available, air fryer could be useful it not imperative. Overall 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 stay from start to finish. Thanks to the “three sisters” for all their hard work.
