We stayed for 5 weeks. The annex was well equipped and had everything we needed. Situated in a quiet location in a small village with walks from the doorstep. We enjoyed the outside space provided by the garden. Our host was friendly, easily contactable and helpful.
Kate our host was always helpful and considerate. The local area is green and very peaceful. The annexe had everything we needed for our 12 week stay. We slept well as the bed was comfortable. The internet wasn’t always reliable but there are other things to do. Thank you Kate.
Our main interest in the area were gardens, cycling and history of some the great stately homes. Houghton and Holkham are a must. Near by also Blickling. Broads in cycling distance. The cottage has a lovely open plan kitched/diner, come living area.. Outside table and chairs to dine outside enjoy the garden and fields beyond. Wifi was good. TV offered Amazon, Netflex BBC iplayer and ITV x. Suited us well.
