We spent last week at The Applestore @ Swannington Manor.It is a beautiful apartment, in very picturesque surroundings.Spotlessly clean, and everything you should need, for your stay.The huge bed was so, so, comfortable, and I did try the gorgeous slipper bath, which was so lovely. It is situated in a very quiet tranquil spot, just what you need, to recharge your batteries.The Manor gardens are open one day in the year, and we were lucky enough to be there. It was on our last day, which made it all the more special. They are quite magnificent! You do have some really nice views from the apartment overlooking part of the gardens.We were lucky, as the weather was amazing too. We thought it was an ideal spot for seeing the Broads, the Coast, and Inland. If we plan on going back to Norfolk. The Applestore would be our first stop. We thought it was amazing.
