Cheryl & Geoff–now Mr & Mrs–Brooks from Liverpool

A last minute break, that turned into a Wedding Proposal and the most perfect HONEYMOON any couple could wish for. As they say in Liverpool, Spot On Wack! People in the local pubs, very friendly. Trip into Norwich a must (but watch out for the fog if coming back late afternoon - in Winter). The down side - we have to go home ! Thanks Andy & Trisha, for all the extra touches that made staying here so special - Geoff & Cheryl

Thank you so much for letting us come & join the “Honeymooners”. What a fabulous place, really superb, lovely walks and everything you could possibly need in the cottage. Warm, cosy and spotless. The Hot Tub and Games room are an extra bonus. “Magic”. The boat has turned my Husband into Captain Birdseye, HELP!!! - Aunty Beryl, Uncle Dave and The GIRLS
