    Lovely cottage in a super little village. So many good dog walking places and out of season the whole village is peaceful and relaxing , we wish we had booked for two weeks instead of just one.

    Nightingale Cottage was a lovely place to stay. It had everything we needed. Very clean and well looked after. The fish and chip shop was excellent and Budgens had an amazing range of produce. We had some lovely meals at the Ostrich pub which our little dog Amber was allowed in. Castle Acre is great place to explore with great walks
