Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
With the Norfolk coast and countryside on your doorstep, this home is an ideal retreat for a family keen to spend their days outdoors. Full of 18th-century charm, while the traditional interiors may not be everyone’s cup of tea, it’s well-equipped for a relaxing stay. It’s worth bearing in mind, however, that the driveway and laundry room are shared with the two neighbouring homes, so if you prefer absolute privacy, this home may not be quite right for you.

Home truths
We recommend a car to get the most out of your stay. There's driveway parking for one car here – the driveway is shared with the two neighbouring homes.
If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot, high chair and stair gate for free. You'll need to request them in advance.
The ceiling in some areas is on the low side. It might not be suitable for taller guests.
While there are no in-unit laundry facilities here, you will find a communal washing machine in a laundry room shared with the two neighbouring homes.
The traditional decor here might not be to everyone's taste. It feels a little dated in parts.
Due to this home's location, you might find that the phone signal is patchy from time to time.
