For a unique experience, book a tour at the fabulous Burn Valley Vineyard. Help with the grape harvest or join one of the vineyard's wonderful Secret Suppers held on a Friday and Saturday evening - be sure to book early! There is an abundance of great places to eat and experiences to enjoy throughout the local area. Dinner at the Michelin starred Morston Hall, or shopping in nearby Burnham Market, are just two examples. A trip into Wells-next-the-Sea will reveal two fantastic options for fish 'n' chip; Platten's and at French's. Be sure to sample both! For more energetic exploration, get out on the water for a fishing trip, or join a nature cruise out to Scolt Head Island nature reserve. For landlubbers, a trip to the Holkham or Brancaster beach will appeal, or rent e-bikes to traverse under your own (electrically-assisted) steam!

    We have had a brilliant week here - thank you for sharing such an amazing house with us. The kids loved playing with the train track and all the games, and we had great days out at the beach, Pensthorpe and Roarr! Hope we can come and stay another time. Thank you.
