Nearby is an Iron Age fort on Bloodgate Hill and a Saxon church at Waterden. Other popular local attractions include RSPB Titchwell Marsh, RSPB Snettisham, Blakeney Point and the Holkham Estate. Beautiful beaches are within easy reach, and there are plenty of popular villages and market towns to discover, including King’s Lynn, Hunstanton and Fakenham.

An excellent, central location for all the dog friendly beaches and local sights. Our dog spent many happy hours watching the rabbits and playing in the stream in the enclosed garden, which was beautiful. We appreciated the quiet location, the unique barn conversion and relaxing setting - felt like a true holiday and we will definitely return!

Jesters Barn is in a quiet location but within walking distance of the local pub in South Creake. It's not far from Wells and the coast and has everything needed for a holiday (or in our case a short break). It's dog friendly too. The open fire was nice given that it's autumn and overall we had a great stay.

A cosy hideaway in a secluded and peaceful location with a stunning garden. Great for families, but worth noting the main bedroom (double) is on an open plan mezzanine, so fairly communal. The small twin room downstairs is perfect for kids, but the beds seem small and soft. The Arga is ace! Great value for money and lovely hosts!
