“The hosts are so friendly and caring, not nosy and intrusive, but there if you need anything.”
The accommodation has everything you could need, the kitchen is well stocked with tools and supplies to get you started cooking, and there's a dishwasher so you can have a break from the washing-up.
The large bedroom is cosy and the bed is very comfortable, I had no problem sleeping, and it is so quiet despite the close proximity of the railway and resident cockerel! There's a wardrobe and drawers to put away your clothes, so no need to live out of the suitcase and the bathroom is just off the bedroom, which is handy at nighttime.
The courtyard outside is a lovely place to sit in the nice weather, our host gave us some sun loungers to use, and it's a lovely lookout from the lounge window. We enjoyed watching the birds come to the feeders and a hedgehog visited in the evenings, there's so much wildlife to appreciate right on the doorstep.
The accommodation is situated on the edge of the village and we walked to the pub (The Gissing Crown) a couple of times, it's a nice fifteen minutes walk along a very quiet road. The hosts have provided information about local walks and recommended fish and chips etc. You have to drive to buy food supplies, Diss has supermarkets, and a few of the villages nearby have small shops. We used a local farm shop (Goodies) once which was expensive but stocked some treats as well as fruit and veg (their strawberries were delicious). They also have a nice cafe.
The accommodation is well positioned to explore Norfolk and Suffolk, we had days out on the broads (hired a day boat from Wroxham), Norwich, Southwold and Diss, as well as more relaxed days.
We can highly recommend The Nest Box, we had a great time and would be very happy to return for a future holiday, or recommend it to our family and friends.
HI there - thank you SO much for your fantastic review which is not only nice for us, but truly helpful to our future guests. It was a total pleasure to welcome you both, plus VIP (Very Important Pooch) Teddy, to our little corner of South Norfolk. We enjoyed our chats very much and 'your' hedgehog has continued to turn up along with another! We hope to see you again one day in the future. Take care, Claire & Chris Property Owner
