Announcement: ETC 4* 18th July still available!!

The Firs is our second home and we hope you will find it your ‘home from home’. It is a spacious recently refurbished bungalow situated on the edge of Briston with views to the open countryside. It is perfect for all seasons with plenty of space to sit outside in the warmer weather and modern central heating when it’s cooler. There is an additional gas flame fire in the lounge. There is even a small sunroom to catch the rays throughout the year.

The accommodation consists of a very well equipped family kitchen with a washing machine, dishwasher, gas hob, electric oven, microwave, fridgefreezer and toaster. There is a breakfast area for six. Tea towels and hand towels are provided for your use.

The lounge is comfortable and homely with sofas and a dining area for six. You will find all the usual home entertainment such as TV, video and DVD players with a selection of books, videos, CDs, DVDs, Games machine, board games and toys.

You will find all beds made up with coordinating linen, and our duvets and pillows are all hypoallergenic. Each room has either a clock radio or CD or cassette player. The main bedroom has a double bed, antique pine furniture, small TV and the luxury of an en suite with a modern shower. This bedroom is away from the other bedrooms and so is ideal for peace and quiet from the rest of the family or privacy if two couples are staying.

The other two bedrooms have twin beds and share a modern family bathroom with a bath. Once again hand towels are provided. A cot can be put in the double or the larger twin room. As you would expect you will find the usual creature comforts of a hairdryer, iron and ironing board.

ABOUT BRISTON

Briston is a large village in a wonderful position in North Norfolk. It really is central to so much in the area.

The village has an excellent village store, post office, proper bakery and superb butchers. All are in walking distance of The Firs. There are also two pubs, a sports playing field and village green. There are bus links to most of the important places locally and beyond. You will find a bus timetable in our information folder. We have found the villagers to be very friendly and helpful.

Briston is a five minute drive from the historic Georgian market town of Holt, which has really interesting shops to browse around. There is even a traditional department store, plenty of tempting tearooms and a good sized Budgens. There is an excellent fish and chip shop a few minutes drive away in Melton Constable.

The coast at Blakeney is less than a 15 minute drive and the wonderful beaches at Wells
