Very clean, comfortable and warm. Nice welcome from owners and lovely goodies left for us and our dog. Everything you could want is there in the barn and really convenient for the Broads and N & E Norfolk coast towns. Several National Trust properties nearby and climbed up to the top of Horsey Windpump windmill which was fascinating.Very peaceful surroundings and large garden with many birds visiting. A great stay and would recommend.
