ABOUT THE AREA
The village of Horning provides the nearest shop which is open from 8 am - 8 pm and has an excellent butcher's shop, a swimming pool and of course, its own broad. Wroxham is 2 miles away and has a wide variety of shops as well as being the centre of the Norfolk Broads where there is a wide choice of water based activities to choose from. Wroxham is also the nearest railway station to the property and a car is helpful for exploring the area, although bicycles would be equally useful.
The nearest beach is at Waxham and is 8 miles away but the whole of the Norfolk Heritage Coast provides a wonderful variety of sandy beaches and a variety of facilities for bird watchers, sailors, jet skiers, families and walkers. A number of local pubs serve awarding winning food, the Barton Angler and the White Horse at Neatishead to name but two. Other areas of interest are the homes of Lord and Lady Walpole at Mannington and Wolterton, with wonderful gardens and an interesting itinerary of events through the year, see www.manningtongardens.co.uk and a great source of information is the www.visitnorfolk.co.uk.
As the the family use the house on a regular basis, there is food in the pantry and they feel that if when you are staying at the house, you should feel comfortable about using the herbs, marmalade and odds bits, but please replace them. The toys and games left by the children are also to be used with care but should be always put away afterwards.
