Just spent 2 week's in the lovely Old Butcher's Shop. The owner Karina is extremely pleasant and accommodating. The holiday cottage is immaculate and in good weather the little courtyard is nice to sit out with a glass of wine or two. A really lovely place to stay and 100% recommended. Thank you Karina.

A lovely comfortable home, in a great location to explore Norfolk. Everything was spotlessly clean, and there was a lovely welcome pack which was appreciated. Its about 10 minutes from shops, but the village pub was close and very friendly. Would definitely recommend for a quiet holiday.
