This was our third visit to The Old Farmhouse. It is ideally located for us to meet family.The Farmhouse is well decorated, furnished and equipped. It is also very well heated and has lots of character.The village of Blakeney has a great pub, restaurant and fabulous chippy. There are numerous walks to do locally so you can park up safely at the cottage and enjoy.
