Tranquil Location and perfect family holiday home

This is a beautifully presented detached family house situated in a quiet and very private woodland setting. The house was built in 2006 in a barn conversion style and was specifically designed by the owners to be ideal for their own family holidays with their children and their friends. As such it is ideally laid out with an excellent balance of open plan living space and comfortable, well proportioned bedrooms. As a 'home from home' the house has a very high standard of furniture and equipment throughout and there are plenty of games and DVDs to ensure that there is still plenty to do for adults and children alike on those odd days that the weather spoils your plans. There are two sets of large patio doors leading off the main reception room, the largest of which leads out onto a full width covered patio area and enormous south facing garden beyond. As such this room is wonderfully light and airy during the summer months but with the deep leather Chesterfield sofas and log burner it can also become warm and snug in the winter. In all it is the perfect year round holiday house!

Thursford is located midway between the towns of Fakenham and Holt and only six miles from Wells-next-the-Sea. It is an excellent location for a holiday, offering visitors the chance to enjoy the peace and quiet of a rural setting but also providing easy access to the many attractions in the area. The village is best known for the Thursford Collection, but is also home to Thursford Wood, a medieval wood pasture containing some of the oldest trees in the country.

A lovely house, in a lovely setting. We saw deer,pheasants,partridges and a hare in the garden. The house is well kitted out with everything you need. The rooms are large and bright. The beds are so comfortable. Would be happy to spend more holidays there!

Location and house overall nice
Nice peaceful location within easy driving distance of main attractions. Good size property, lots of space for large family to spread out, plus decent sized areas to relax or eat in the lounge and dining areas. Well equipped, including BBQ, extra fridge, garden games, and dvds etc. Only a few minor things in need of attention to make this swiss style chalet into a five star.

Wonderful stay
The house was in an ideal location with lots of things to do nearby for adults/children. The house itself was well looked after with a lovely garden area and trampoline which was well used by the children. The house itself was very child friendly with safety gates provided, a cot, high chairs and toys. When contacted, the owners were quick to reply. Unfortunately, one shower could not be used as the door was wedged shut but this was communicated to the owners. The overall cleanliness of the property was very good but the showers could have been a little cleaner. Would definitely return again, thank you very much for our stay!

Lovely House & Garden
Had lovely stay, inside sofas and beds/bedding needs updating. Showers dated and leaks repaired poorly and ugly. House would have been great around 3-4 years ago but for us the comfort factor wasn’t there sorry guys.

Had a lovely quiet and peaceful stay, in this lovely house, everything you could possible need was available to use Including washing machine, children’s outside games. Excellent location for visiting all the lovely picturesque villages and coastlines along the Norfolk coast. If anything a negative, the downstairs shower room is in need of updating, upstairs is immaculate. Just another idea, is a sign as you come down north road to say turn right for lodges.
