A lovely and very quiet location, although there is a grain store over the way. You couldn't hear it from the house though. The only noises we could hear were from the beautiful chickens, ducks and geese. It's a great location for walks from the door or not that far away you can get to some lovely beaches, including Horsey Gap with hundreds of seals! A 20 minute ride to Salhouse station to catch trains to Cromer and Sheringham. A week isn't really enough to explore so hopefully we'll be back before too long. A lovely stay.

The location is very rural, no shops for miles,but a good pub nearby.Easy to explore the broads by car from here. Expect to hear cockerels in the early hours, and an annoying noise from a nearby factory on weekdays, but eventually, you ignore it. Good property, no issues, but the steep stairs may be an issue for some.
