The beds were comfortable, the garden lovely, and the beautiful sun room was a lovely place to sit and read a book. The village is nice, with a pond, a playpark for the children, a pub and a village shop, and lovely walks from the door. Lovely area too with so much to see and do, and beautiful countryside. We wouldn't hesitate to stay at The Old Dairy again and have already recommended to friends.

It appears that a lot of thought has gone into the furnishing, decoration and equipment in the house. The sofas were all comfortable, the beds were amazing. We especially loved the kitchen and the day room. It was very wet during our stay so having a comfortable home for 4 adults was more important than we had anticipated. The garden looked lovely too, I can only imagine how nice it would be there in the summer months. We didn’t light the fire as the house was exceptionally warm all the time. Parking was also great for 2 big cars. The Christmas decorations around the entire downstairs were beautiful and again, very tastefully done. This was our first Christmas away, we would definitely do it again especially in a house like this. We cooked on Christmas Day, the cooking equipment was amazing. Everything turned out good! The TV was a smart TV with access to Netflix and DVDs which we did use most evenings. Games are also supplied which really is a nice touch especially if you have Children. We knew before we arrived that the pub was a little walk away but there is a footpath all the way there, it took around 20 minutes. We did need a torch to find our way as there are no street lights or houses for the first part of the walk, they even thought of that and supplied a torch in the mud room. On arriving though, the pub was quite nice, the food was excellent so worth the walk! We would highly recommend staying at The Old Dairy, it is suitable for couples and families alike. Thank you so much to our hosts. ##### Pat T.

The house is beautiful, very well stocked with absolutely everything you might need. Warm and comfortable for days when the weather keeps you indoors with room to spread out and do your own thing. No problems sleeping on luxurious beds. I would recommend this venue for a quiet holiday with easy access to beautiful beaches and excellent pubs for quality food and service. And the local deli is brilliant.

The kitchen was a great size and extremely well equipped. Our favourite room was the Garden room, really bright and comfortable, a lovely space to sit back and relax with a glass of wine! The garden itself was lovely too with more than enough seating for everyone. The bedrooms are a good size with really comfy beds, the only slight downside were the two steps leading into the ensuite in the main bedroom. All in all a lovely property and would definitely return. Thank you. ##### Andrew G.

It had every home comfort you could ask for. The layout of the property is very spacious, beautifully furnished with a walled sunny garden & situated ideally to visit Sandringham, Breckland and North Norfolk coast. We absolutely loved it. ##### Michael S.

The kitchen is huge and perfectly equipped, the social spaces are luxurious and comfortable, as are the bedrooms. The pretty garden is also well furnished for sitting and dining, just slightly noisy from the B road. There are good dog walks nearby as well as a small shop/cafe and hotel restaurant serving very good food. There is extensive information about the larger area and attractions within driving distance.The only things missing from the property are a small map of the immediate area showing the dog walks and the position of the shop and restaurant, and a bath. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel and Spa Chester](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chester-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Hotel-And-Spa-Chester.h527788.Hotel-Information) > > [Redworth Hall Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Newton-Aycliffe-Hotels-Redworth-Hall-Hotel.h517266.Hotel-Information) > > [Heacham Manor Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kings-Lynn-Hotels-Heacham-Manor-Hotel-Spa-Golf.h4947859.Hotel-Information) > > [7 Storey Listed Windmill, dog friendly with outdoor pool & bbq](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kings-Lynn-Hotels-7-Storey-Listed-Windmill.h22235055.Hotel-Information) > > [The Farmhouse at Fincham](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kings-Lynn-Hotels-The-Farmhouse-At-Fincham.h5841514.Hotel-Information) > > [ibis budget Manchester Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-Ibis-Budget-Manchester-Airport.h75715089.Hotel-Information) > > [De Vere Tortworth Court](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bristol-Hotels-De-Vere-Tortworth-Court.h570412.Hotel-Information) > > [Cambridge Belfry Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-Cambridge-Belfry.h1103020.Hotel-Information) > > [Norfolk Accommodation - mYminiBreak](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kings-Lynn-Hotels-Norfolk-Coast-BB-Cottages-And-Camping.h22404790.Hotel-Information) > > [Grosvenor Pulford Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chester-Hotels-Grosvenor-Pulford-Hotel-Spa.h790572.Hotel-Information) > > [Chalk And Cheese](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kings-Lynn-Hotels-Chalk-And-Cheese.h27419847.Hotel-Information) > > [Last Drop Village Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bolton-Hotels-Last-Drop-Village-Hotel-And-Spa.h9341.Hotel-Information) > > [Woodlakes Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kings-Lynn-Hotels-Woodlakes-Park.h39060885.Hotel-Information) > > [Cedar Lodge, Cedar Springs, Heacham.
