Lovely cottage, really comfortable beds and sofas which always make a stay better. Adorable welcome basket too. Quick drive to the coast. Lovely area, obviously have to drive everywhere but that wasn't an issue for us. Wroxham is always interesting and then we went to Cromer as well as a little walk along at Walcott. Kingfisher chippy is good but a bit pricey.We didn't have a dog but noticed there was blankets in a basket to use for dogs which I think is a really thoughtful touch. Was my first weekend away with my 5 month old and her grandparents and it was just lovely and relaxing. Everything you need in the kitchen to cook. Would definitely come again :)
