    “My wife and I stayed here with our Labrador Retriever, so we were looking forward to having somewhere quiet, clean, dog-friendly, and well-equipped - and we were definitely not disappointed!”

    The accommodation is very quiet, spotlessly clean and has a wonderfully well-equipped kitchen, enabling us to bring a food box with us to cook when we didn't want to go out to the nearby pub (which does surprisingly good food). There's also another pub along the river which is a great place to end up after a half hour wander around the Burgh Castle fields (great for dogs!).

    The accommodation is very quiet, spotlessly clean and has a wonderfully well-equipped kitchen, enabling us to bring a food box with us to cook when we didn't want to go out to the nearby pub (which does surprisingly good food). There's also another pub along the river which is a great place to end up after a half hour wander around the Burgh Castle fields (great for dogs!). It was great to have access to the large grass lawn area directly outside the door for our dog to go and spend while on a long lead, with tranquil views across the river to the nearby wind pumps. The outdoor table and chairs were ideal for enjoying a glass of wine in the Autumn sun. There's plenty of parking too. The owners were helpful and responsive via text message for questions but weren't intrusive and respected our privacy. If you're visiting, check the what3words location as this was wrong. To get to Church Farm, go literally right to the very end of the road, and at the turning circle by the church, turn right and follow the road around to the gates. Don't try and look for bungalows and things on the way, just go straight up to the end. I've informed Sykes of the correct w3w location, so it might be correct now. Just a couple of suggestions (but not criticisms!): - a few pictures in the bedrooms would make them a bit more cheerful as they're well furnished but missing some welcoming touches - maybe some canvas prints of the beautiful Broads? As the third bedroom doesn't have a window, it would definitely benefit from some colour. - the wifi doesn't extend beyond the main room, so you can't stream or go on the internet in the bedrooms. I'd recommend a Powerline Wifi Extender (about £40 from Argos) to create a reliable new wifi hotspot in the accommodation itself. All in all we really enjoyed our holiday here and we're happy to recommend it to anyone wanting a peaceful, well-equipped and dog-friendly place to relax.

About the location

BURGH CASTLE

Great Yarmouth 4.5 miles.

Burgh Castle is a rural Norfolk village, a popular holiday spot due to its proximity to Great Yarmouth. The village backs onto the Norfolk Broads and is adjacent to the River Waveney, providing excellent opportunities for fishing, walking, cycling, and watching the local wildlife. The area has several nature reserves which include Reed Fen, managed by the RSPB. Across the marsh is the Berney Arms windmill, the tallest drainage mill on the broads, with the longest sails in the UK. The delights of the Norfolk and Suffolk coastline are easily accessed, offering all the fun of traditional seaside attractions. Visit Great Yarmouth’s Heritage quarter with museums, horse racing, its long-running circus and Wednesday night firework displays. Watch the big ships arrive at the harbour town of Lowestoft, or visit one of the area's relaxing quieter sandy beaches. Local attractions include Pleasurewood Hills, Caister Castle Motor Museum, Thrigby Hall Wildlife Gardens, Somerleyton Hall & Gardens, Fritton Lake, and Africa Alive to name just a few! A holiday destination for all family members.
