Super contact and ease to contact with the host, clear instructions for finding and accessing property. The onsite cleaner was greatly helpful with questions (and her dog is lovely too!). Really quiet and location to Potter Heigham is only 20 minute walk. Shower outstanding, and all clean inside the property. Enclosed garden is ideal for our dog too
