Lovely welcome pack for humans and dogs. Very comfortable bed Only downside was we hadnât realised the garden wasnât attached to the house you had to walk the dogs over to it so not so easy for first morning and last night business.

I am still dreaming of that queen sized bed. A big plus having two toilets when you have a family. The garden is a wildlife haven which very much impressed our children and us. We could see a visiting hedgehog and bats at night, through the day, dragon flies, bees, hoverflies, lots of birds and a sparrowhawk popped in a couple of times too. The bbq/outdoor dining area is wonderful, we sat out for dinner almost every night. There are solar lights when things get dark. We loved it. There are lovely local walks, most are around 3 miles through public footpaths and crossings. We did do a 9 mile one once. The owners are so kind and helpful. Had they offered I think our border collie, Lily would have stayed with them! She loved them so much. There are some lovely things to do in the area. Kings Lynn has a ferry to it and is a combination of shopping and beautiful history. Thereâs a huge park for dogs and children alike, with a bmx track, play parks, beautiful flowers and trees. There are squirrels too. Itâs huge. You could get a bus there if you didnât want to drive. We also went to Hunstanton beach but steady yourself for a heart attack at the £10 parking. Beautiful beach and walks though. Not far is Sandringham and a lavender farm. There are many supermarkets at a short drive and locally, within walking distance a coop and a spar. Thereâs also play parks and local shops for anything you might need. All in all a wonderful stay.
