A well-equipped cosy cottage perfect for two. In the middle of the farm, so business carries on as usual. Well- placed for excursions to all points. Local garage store stocks most necessaries.

The dairy is lovely but a bit tiny and the sun sets and bird song was lovely, its well equipped and has everything you need for a short stay.

Overall the stay was very comfortable. The property doesnt have many windows, although the pictures are accurate I didnt realise how closed in it would feel. Would have been nice to at least have a window on the back wall of the kitchen. Additionally wifi was very poor, we could barely watch anything on the smart tv. This got a little frustrating aRead mores the weather wasnt great while we stayed so would have liked to have enjoyed a few films indoors. The property was clean and well equipped, kitchen area is small for two but you can make it work. I would still recommend to others for a short stay in Norfolk. Hide
