Manor Mews
Location Norfolk
Nestling peacefully in one of north Norfolk's prettiest villages this attractive cluster of cottages has been created from the sympathetic conversion of a range of handsome farm buildings. Retaining many original features including fine timber beams in their tastefully appointed and very comfortable interiors they enjoy a wonderfully tranquil rural setting on a working farm near the owners' lovely farmhouse. Each cottage boasts its own individual sitting out area and all of them enjoy access to the surrounding countryside where gentle walking cycling and bird watching are popular pastimes. Delightfully combining idyllic country pleasures Manor Mews offers the perfect haven in which to relax and unwind.If visitors can tear themselves away from the comforts of the cottages a wide variety of attractions invite exploration. Just 12 miles away is Well-next-the-Sea home to a little narrow gauge railway that carries passengers the one mile journey to and from the sandy beach as well as interesting shops ice cream parlours cafés a famous whelk stall theatre restaurants and pubs. Walsingham site of the famous Shrine and the Burnhams with their close associations with Nelson are always a delight and no holiday in north Norfolk would be complete without a visit to the Palladian mansion of Holkham Hall where a herd of about 800 fallow deer roam its vast parkland open all year round and offering pleasant circular walks and cycle and nature trails.
