“The gardens and grounds are stunning, extending over 21 acres and offering direct access to the broads, which I think is a major draw. Dining in the 18th-century thatched barn restaurant seems a memorable experience, complemented by friendly staff attentive to all needs; it's clearly a relaxing and peaceful retreat. The location is ideal for those seeking both coastal walks and a tranquil countryside escape.”

The location has no close neighbours and features fields around it. The main barn looked really good. The dining hall and the breakfast area were fantastic. Karenza, the manager on duty, was very professional and hardworking .
The hotel is located off the beaten track. it was difficult to find the entrance at night because there was very little light at the hotel.

The venue hosted a wedding reception. The event space, ivy hall, looked superb! emma and caitlin, the wedding coordinators, handled all the setup. They ensured our day proceeded smoothly. the rose suite provided ample space for getting ready, and the honeymoon suite had a great view and decking.
I found some noise present. I could hear the water cistern filling from another room.
