The Conifers was a lovely cottage with everything we needed. Comfortable sofas, hot shower and a huge bed. There's a small enclosed and private patio area which was perfect for us and our our dog. A short walk down the farm track takes you past the lakes and onto the Heath which has an abundance of wildlife including deer, squirrels and lots of birds. Excellent location for exploring inland Norfolk as well as the coast. Friendly and helpful hosts. Would highly recommend.
