The welcome was wonderful and we truly appreciated the gluten-free goodies in the basket and the lovely anniversary welcome. The pool was a real benefit which we took full advantage of and even in October was lovely and warm.Hemblington Hall is a wonderful building and you have made it feel very homely. We didn't really want to leave.

Lovely place to stay. Communication was great and it was very nice to meet Matt and Jenny. We had everything we needed and the little touches like the welcome pack and flowers made it feel extra special. The weather was lovely so the swimming pool was an added bonus.

We stayed at Hemblington Hall in June 25 with our 4 children. Jenny and Matt were brilliant hosts. Jenny had left a lovely welcome hamper and fresh flowers in the rooms. The house had everything that we needed for our stay and was very clean. The children loved the pool too. The house is in a very good location for exploring lots of places in Norfolk. We would love to return again for another visit. Would highly recommend. Thanks again.
