A fabulous short break to relax after Christmas. Loved the cosy cottage, great location for walks. Recommend the cafe at Binham and The Three Swallows at Cley. Both dog friendly and great. Won't be long before we return to Norfolk.

We have had a lovely Christmas here. It was such a lovely surprise to have a tree. A very special break in this very clean, comfortable and cosy cottage within such easy reach of the saltmarshes, wonderful!

Another wonderful stay in Norfolk. Seeing the geese in the fields, seals along the coast and the autumn colours and deer on the Holkham estate. Nature at its best, and the crowning glory is the skeins of geese as they fill the skies in sight and sound. Pure escapism from everyday life. Lovely meals at The Old Store, Drove Orchard and The Parlour Binham. Butchers Allards at Holt and Guerneys fish Burnham Market if eating at cottage. Chocolates - Hunters at Holt.
