Fabulous home from home in a lovely location and ideal for exploring Norfolk and Suffolk. The house is beautifully decorated, modern, warm, clean and well equipped with everything you might need and more. We didn’t want to leave and could easily have moved in!We enjoyed watching the deer, rabbits and pheasants who visited daily. Would highly recommend.
