Fantastic barn conversion on the edge of a small hamlet. Very peaceful , very well equipped and the owners are very approachable and helpful. Given the chance I would gladly buy this property to live in myself that's how much i like it and the location.

Carol

Lovely cottage in a really good location. Ample off road parking and the covered outdoor area was a bonus. Dog able to roam freely outside and there was shade from the sun or cover from the rain, which ever way you choose to look at it.

Greg

3rd time we have stayed here. Location is good as in between Holt & Fakenham and nearest beaches under 10 miles. Very comfortable and large garden is ideal for the dogs. Itâ??s in a quiet village and is well equipped.

Leonie

Beautiful barn conversion with spacious accommodation. The court yard and field are perfect for children and dogs. We discovered the whole of the North Norfolk coast from Holme next the sea to Cromer. Beautiful beaches, quaint villages and open landscapes, all between 20-30 minutes from the cottage. Great pubs and restaurants everywhere in this area. Pauline was very happy to help with any queries. We highly recommend this cottage and had a great time.
