Beautiful big holiday home. Spotless and everything you need and more for a comfortable home from home stay. We had my mum who is 85 with us and she found it extremely comfortable, plus each room had their own bathroom. It was a lovely size so you were not under each other’s feet at all and all the rooms had tvs, so if you wanted your own space, that was a great add. Friendly owners. Lots of outdoor space for dogs also. We visited the coast which is just under an hours drive, Thetford which is a half hour drive and Bressingham Garden Centre and railway which was about a 15 minute drive. I think I would say it is the best place we have ever stayed and would love to return.

Walcot House Stables is an exceptionally clean, well equiped and spacious property. It was great for our group of 5 adults and we all loved the quiet location. A convenient base for exploring Suffolk and Norfolk, or just enjoying some peaceful down-time. Highly recommended.

This is a wonderful place but you would need a car to travel to various attractions in the area If you are wanting a luxury sanctuary with a tranquil setting this is it. This is a space where you can totally recharge and enjoy all the elements of nature around you. The hosts are wonderful and so very helpful. It is the best quality holiday home we have stayed in and for that reason we will return.
