Just as lovely as we remembered from our previous stay.

Hannah makes you feel very welcome and relaxed and her breakfasts are superb. Our room (Barn Owls) was lovely and spacious. We appreciated the large bathroom and walk-in shower as well as having the sofa space and a fridge. It is all lovely and clean and just so peaceful. We really enjoyed our break.

A beautiful room, lovely host and amazing location

We can't recommend this place highly enough. Hannah is the most friendly and wonderful host, she can't do enough to help you and provide a really welcoming place to stay. The location is superb for the Norfolk coast and Broads, as well as perfect for seeing the seals at Horsey Gap. On top of that the room was spacious and comfortable, with a great breakfast to fill you up for the day.

Very positive

Located in beautiful area. Lovely balance between very professional and local/family feel including accents. Very relaxing vibe. Nice example of farm diversification-eg repurposed complex of old buildings, ā€˜converted’ in appropriate manner/to high standard. Wonder if more could be made of accessible paths on farm?
