We spent the Christmas week in Mill Cottage and what a wonderful cottage in a gorgeous location. Lisa had beautifully decorated it for us and even surprised us with some gifts under the tree. The cottage was lovely and warm and so well equipped that we wanted for nothing. The cottage is within easy reach of the A47 and surrounding towns like Holt, Read moreso a good base if you want to explore. We enjoyed a nice round walk to Sparham Pools but mostly just enjoyed the peace and comfort of Mill Cottage. A real home from home. We loved it so much we've booked again. Hide
