    “The property was very clean apart from cobwebs on the beams especially on the mezzanine, nothing that the long duster found in the shed couldn’t deal with though.”

    Also buried in the shed was a Henry vacuum cleaner but without a floor attachment and tube. As conscientious dog owners we wanted to clean up hair and debris a couple of times during the stay. The upstairs mattress was very comfortable but the downstairs ones were less so. The larger sofa was quite saggy and low making it trickier for older guests, and far too many cushions everywhere that required dumping on the spare bunk! Otherwise all was lovely. We found neither of the fire lighters ...

    Also buried in the shed was a Henry vacuum cleaner but without a floor attachment and tube. As conscientious dog owners we wanted to clean up hair and debris a couple of times during the stay. The upstairs mattress was very comfortable but the downstairs ones were less so. The larger sofa was quite saggy and low making it trickier for older guests, and far too many cushions everywhere that required dumping on the spare bunk! Otherwise all was lovely. We found neither of the fire lighters worked and no matches to be found so we went without the fire on the first evening. Luckily we do carry a dog guard when we travel but it may be useful to mention one may be needed to prevent them getting upstairs. On the whole a lovely place to stay, so easy for so many beaches and a very secure garden.

About the location

FAKENHAM

Norwich 25 miles; Holt 13 miles.

The historic market town of Fakenham is famous for its horse racing and offers a wide selection of shops, cafes, pubs and restaurants. Situated on the River Wensum, half way between Norwich and Kings Lynn it is an excellent, central location for exploring Norfolk. The town holds a popular Thursday market which takes over most of the town centre with local traders and those from further afield selling a wide selection of goods. The town also plays host to a Farmers’ Market, monthly on the fourth Saturday of every month, ideal for stocking up on fresh local produce. Fakenham is a very attractive market town with pretty brick and flint-faced buildings, narrow alleyways and side streets to explore. Often referred to as the Gateway to Norfolk this town really does offer a perfect base for exploring this beautiful county. You are only a twenty minute drive from the coastal towns of Wells-next-the-Sea, Holkham and Burham Overy where you will find miles of pine forests, sandy beaches, salt marshes, tidal creeks and great opportunities for birdwatching. There are some lovely areas of unspoilt countryside and villages and the Holkham Estate has a number of attractions and a fabulous deer park. With so many activities on offer, this area is a fantastic choice at any time of year.
