“The accomodation was bigger than expected and was situated in a really pleasant location in the open countryside with views over fields. The location of the property was perfect for visiting the north Norfolk coast by car, and would be a good base for a cycling holiday with many traffic-free winding lanes to explore. We didn't speak to the owner very much over the week, but he was very friendly and helpful. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed the holiday and would recommend the property. (One final comment, the mobile phone reception was very poor; this may be a good or bad thing depending on your point of view!)”

Houghton

Foxglove offers an amazing opportunity to enjoy the peace & tranquillity of rural Norfolk, just 15 minutes from the coast.  Completely private, but semi-detached from Hollyhock (sleeping 6), this charming wooden cottage is surprisingly spacious for two people and has an amazing deck with stunning views out towards the Houghton Hall Estate.  There is excellent walking right outside the door and everything that the North Norfolk Coast has to offer is just a few minutes drive away.
