Lovely cottage and garden perfect for a relaxing break. Very comfortable with plenty of space for a family of four with everything we needed. Quiet location, surrounded by fields and lots of wildlife, quiet beach very close by. Good location for visits to the Norfolk Broads and Norwich and coastal walks. Thanks for a lovely stay
