I was visiting my eldest son in Fakenham whom I hadn't seen for a couple of years and stayed in the Old Coach House which was lovely, quiet, fully equipped and very convenient for travelling around the area including Cromer for the best 99 ice cream I have tasted.. and other beaches around the coastline. You have a personal choice to eat in with a fully equipped kitchen or out in the various restaurants. The Hosts were very helpful and friendly and I could take my little old dog which was a bonus. The only thing to remember is to take a non slip mat for the shower upstairs and another for the tiled bathroom floor upstairs as it is very slippy when wet. I have the bruises to show.. otherwise it is Brilliant and I will return again very soon. I may even consider moving in permanently in the months to come.. haha
