A wonderful relaxing stay.
The accommodation Cow Shed was so spacious and comfortable. A welcome cake on arrival went down well with a cup of tea in the room.
We enjoyed opening the roof window and watching the sunset.
Great location to be based for exploring along the coast.

Lovely stay!
We felt right at home in super spacious family room. (cowshed) The location surrounded by fields full of wildlife (pheasants, rabbits, deer, cows) really made us feel like we were away from it all, yet only 30mins from Norwich. Great breakfast !
