We have used this accommodation as a base for visiting N Norfolk for a few years & the high standards set by the owners have never disappointed. It may be too small for some guests who need room to move about in but for us its a perfect fit.

Lovely 4 night stay at the Annex . The Annex was warm, spotlessly clean and well equipped, the owners were very friendly and a welcome basket of chocolate,wine,crisps,eggs,milk was very much appreciated. There was a tray of tea,coffee,sugar,jams, marmalade and a dolce gusto coffee machine with an assortment of pods,also a few dishwasher tablets and washing pods. The Annex and location was so peaceful and only a 10 minute drive to the coast. We will definitely book a return trip in the near future.
