Relaxing by the glorious Norfolk Broads
For grandchildren, children and grandparents, this was The perfect house. Magnificent country walks, beaches a short ride away. It was spacious enough to give all six of us the privacy that at times we needed. Breakfast and dinner were eaten in the beautiful garden. Altogether a wonderful break

8/10 Good

Peaceful location, beautiful garden, perfect for anxious/reactive dogs.
What an absolutely beautiful location, with wonderful views across Hickling Broads, it is so peaceful with hardly anyone walking past and hardly any traffic. We stayed for a week, the weather was mixed but the house was welcoming and comfortable. Red Roofs is a little 'dated' in its decor, but it was warm and cosy, with enough sofas for two dogs and two humans that like to spread out, plenty of hot water and an open fire, not that we needed to use it as the heating did a good job. The kitchen has everything you need, if a little small but the dining room has plenty of space. The view from the upstairs bedroom is gorgeous and sitting outside listening to birds and nothing else was just lovely. We loved the location, everyone we met was super friendly and understanding of our 'I need space' anxious girl. Stunning walks, beach dunes and we enjoyed eating at The Greyhound, The Ingham Swan (dogs outside only, it was a lovely day) and The Gunton Arms (husband is a foodie).

Relaxing, peaceful and homely
What a wonderful location! My husband and I and a friend arrived with our two dogs and were thrilled at the location - so peaceful with amazing views across Hickling Broad. The house has a dated charm that immediately made us feel at home and was very comfortable, plus the very large secure back garden was a total hit with our new Spanish galgo rescue, whose favourite thing is playing fetch. The description stated there was a barbecue, but it wasn’t out when we arrived. However, a quick message to Jane the owner and on our return after a trip to the beach, the garden chairs, parasol and barbecue were in place, with an apology saying the weather had taken her by surprise! The house is so well equipped for dogs and humans alike, including plenty of games to keep young children amused. Our visit was May, but can imagine it would be a wonderful place to have a large family Christmas, with the open fire in the lounge.

Perfect family break
Had a lovely stay here at Red Roofs, 4 adults, 2 children, 1dog. Plenty of space and an awesome sized fully enclosed garden. Lovely large upstairs main bedroom and bathroom away from the main areas - so grandparents could escape to peace and quiet and an awesome view of Hickling Broad. The furnishings are old and sturdy and it was great knowing that the children could do no damage while running about. Kitchen again a little old fashioned but has everything that you could possibly need. It was great having family meals in the separate dining room. Two of the three downstairs bedrooms are tucked away towards the end of the building so children could get to sleep and not be disturbed by the grown ups in the main sitting room. The welcome pack far exceeded our expectations with a wonderful home made sponge with all our goodies, thank you. We also appreciated the plentiful supply of tea, coffee, dishwasher tabs, tea towels and lots of throws for the sofas. Thank you for a gorgeous company stay.
