Our stay

property was perfect as it had everything you need for a family stay. the facilities and land were also brilliant and kept my granddaughter entertained. maybe the info on the site could be updated to include the driving range, as could have bought golf clubs or maybe provide a few clubs for practice. the location is a little remote, however it was also well positioned for exploring Norfolk. we would book again.

Great property in a great location... Perfect for families

We stayed for a week and loved this place. Very convenient for beaches and places we wanted to visit. The property itself is also immaculate and has everything you need for your stay. The outdoor space is perfect if you have a family as lots of places for them to run about and the games room / outdoor play area to keep them entertained. Would definitely recommend and hope to book again.

A great holiday in a lovely property

From the booking process to the time we left everything was very easy. The property owner contacted us before arrival to see if we had any additional requirements, high chair, travel cot etc, which we did and they were in place by the time we got there. The property itself was very nice, clean, well appointed. It had every you could need and there was even tea and milk for that important cuppa after a long drive. There was plenty to keep the kids occupied when we got back from a day out. Pool table, huge trampoline and a lot of space for them to run around. I would definitely recommend it as a place to stay for both families and also couples as it’s location is very quiet and relaxed. We’ll be back without a doubt!

Wonderful accommodation

Absolutely loved our stay at Woodpeckers Nest. There was good communication from the start with the owners and they provided everything you could possibly need while staying away from home. The accommodation itself was lovely, comfortable and clean and in a beautiful setting. My children really enjoyed the large gardens and the trampoline in particular.

Welcoming, comfortable and beautiful

Squirrels Drey has been beautifully converted from a farm building. Everything, from the furniture to the kitchen equipment and bedding has been done the highest standard and above all it feels welcoming and comfortable. We look forward to staying there again.

Just perfect!!!

We stayed in Squirrel's Drey for 2 weeks with our children (12/9y). The holiday barn was perfect for us - neatly clean in EVERY SENSE, perfectly equipped and complemented by all practical equipment one could think of (soap, dishwasher tablets, washing/freezing/storing). The shape of the barn is well-thought to make most of it. The beds are very comfortable. We especially enjoyed sitting outside in the evenings or for breakfast. The children enjoyed the lawn in front of the house, that in the back or the pool table next door. The description in the advertising is in every sense complete and honest. The landlords Sue and Michael are lovely and very helpful when needed. All communication in advance was timely, payment was uncomplicated. This is definitely a place - to remember (at least) or - to recommend (your friends will be greatful for that hint) or - to come back which is the best.

Loved our recent stay. Ample space considering we have 2 children as well. Everything was very clean and well equipped with a few added extras on arrival. It couldn’t have been nicer. We will definitely be back soon. Thanks

Welcoming, clean, everything you need, great outside space.

We had a great time staying at The Paddocks. My two boys loved the gardens which included a Summer House, trampoline, trees, a swing and lots of space to run around. The inside space was clean and comfortable with good facilities. A great location to explore the lovely nearby beaches. We will definitely be back!

Amazing base

We stayed at the barns from 9_13 August 2017 and we were amazed at how clean and modern they were. Everything you need is included at this place and the outside space is fantastic for children to go off and play in a safe environment. The location is ideal for exploring with beaches and places of interest just a short drive away.There are plenty of places to eat and drink nearby and the ones we visited were all child friendly. Overall WE couldn't fault this place and we will definitely revisit.

We were delighted to have stayed in woodpeckers nest, it is spacious and very clean, a real home from home. We would highly recommend, if you have children there is tons of room for them to play, which is very safe.
