Very clean with everything you need for a lovely stay. Could do with a hand rail in the shower as tray smooth, and clothes hooks for clothes.

I took my two dogs and we went on some lovely walks for the first couple of days, but then the snow came and they didn't want to venture out. Thee only thing that I would have liked is a gate to the garden. I took puppy pens with me, so it didn't trouble me, but other dog owners may find it unsafe.

Nice big comfy bed and great shower. Perfect location for enjoying walks as well as being a short drive to the coast and the Broads.
