We stayed here for a wedding, in a group of 7 of us. What a beautiful spot. Long Cottage was spotlessly clean and very well-equipped. Perfectly located for a visit to Sandringham too. We'll be back! Thank you.

A lovely property that makes you feel at home as soon as you arrive. Our dog certainly agreed! Good location for great local walks or around the corner in the Sandringham Estate. The wonderful beaches at Holkham and Brancaster are not far away. Bircham Stores and café is a must!
