    “We stayed in Cottage 3 - same footprint inside as Widdington but had a 4th bedroom.”

    As it was just the two of us there was plenty of room, so only used the ground and top floors. Living area open and practical, with bifold doors leading directly into the enclosed garden - which included a bbq, pizza oven and outdoor furniture and heater. A real bonus was the hot tub, where we sat and watched the September sunsets over the field - stunning.

    As it was just the two of us there was plenty of room, so only used the ground and top floors. Living area open and practical, with bifold doors leading directly into the enclosed garden - which included a bbq, pizza oven and outdoor furniture and heater. A real bonus was the hot tub, where we sat and watched the September sunsets over the field - stunning. Kitchen had every gadget you could need - including an air fryer and stand mixer (set of scales would be a good addition). Utility room was a great functional space for the dog to sleep. Everything beautifully clean/tidy. So much to do locally - we visited beaches at Brancaster and Holkham and enjoyed a trip to Castle Rising. Would recommend the General Store at Ringstead for supplies, The Gin Trap pub, Eric’s at Thornham for fish & chips, but an abundance of great places to eat, drink and visit. Unfortunately we didn’t make it to The Nest for Sunday lunch as they had had a flood but we’ll be back. Comms with host re arrival all good - thank you for a fabulous stay.
