The farmhouse is fantastic. So much space, some really thoughtful and practical details, and the best equipped holiday home we've ever stayed in!

Terry

A brilliant house and superb hosts. So much equipment provided. Great for a large group. Loads to do even on rainy days. The shower valve failed, and Chris replaced it the same day. We also had a birthday in our group, and the place was decorated on arrival. Such a great surprise. We would definitely recommend it to others.

ELIZABETH

We had a absolutely wonderful time at the Farmhouse at Shelton. Chris and Lucy are the perfect hosts who went the extra mile to make our holiday brilliant for the whole family from 2 to 65 year olds! The Farmhouse was absolutely spotless and had everything you could possibly need, it's full of character and charm, from the wooden spiral staircases to the amazing farmhouse kitchen. Thank you Chris and Lucy for making our stay so memorable, definitely the best family holiday we have ever had!

Anita

Lovely place to stay. Hosts couldn't have been more helpful. Location is great- peaceful and relaxing but access to many places to see and things to do if you wanted to although you could spend the whole week in the Farm House and not be bored. Whole family loved their week in Shelton.

Inesa

The owners couldnt be more welcoming! The 9 of us visited the cottage for a long weekend to celebrate a birthday and get together. The owners kindly went above and beyond greeting us with decorations and a lovely home made chocolate cake. Place was extremely clean and equipped well with everything we needed. The hot tub, games room and the outside games made the stay and keep us all busy. Location is great, we rented out a boat which was only a drive away and was great fun. Would recommend 100%

Karen

What a find ! In all the places we've stayed over the years we have never had hosts like Chris and Lucy , absolutely nothing is too much trouble for them . The farmhouse is amazing , so many lovely original features and unbelievably well equipped. It's in a quiet location , great for giving you time to switch off but Norwich is less than 20 minutes away and the delights of the Broads just a little further. Definitely 5 stars from us and we'd definitely go back if the occasion arose.

Lesley

We just spent a week at the Farmhouse and we highly recommend this holiday cottage. The hosts were very warm and welcoming, although discreetly in the background. The house is very comfortable and we all enjoyed the go carts, the table tennis, the pool table and of course the hot tub. We barbecued as well as cooked large family meals easily with wi de range of utensils, pots and pans, serving platters etc. The oven is superb. The shower pressure brilliant and the beds comfy.

Lorraine

Would recommend this property You want for nothing in this fabulous House & I must add the Hospitality of the owners are second to none We will definitely return

Netty

Lucy and Chris were fantastic right from the get go. Super helpful. Provided and put up some hen decorations up for us in the dining room (Looked amazing!) We were also provided a homemade lemon cake (so delicious!), flowers and a wonderful greeting and a quick 'how to' on the oven/hot tub etc. They really are hosts that go the extra mile!...

Ann

The best holiday let in this country that I have ever booked. We wanted for nothing.

Steve

A great well equipped house with character in a quiet location and perfect for our family gathering - including two dogs! The go-karts, pool table and hottub in particular were enjoyed by all.

The two dishwashers were much appreciated!

We thoroughly enjoyed our family 'pre Christmas' stay. The cottage was perfect for our needs in every way and the hosts were extremely accommodating.

Clare

Glorious house, which immediately felt like home. I want to live there! Spectacularly equipped kitchen, there was even a delicious homemade Victoria sponge and fizz upon arrival. A group of friends and myself went for a big birthday celebration and there were balloons and banners everywhere. Such a lovely touch.

Elliott

Amazing farmhouse with great owners who were on hand to help if needed. Very relaxed atmosphere, with everything you could ask for, a pool table, pedal go-karts, and a hot tub - the lot. Very well decorated clean and modern yet still felt very traditional. The owners decorated the house for a 30th birthday with balloons and left a box of chocolates and a bottle of fizz, a lovely touch. Will definitely be returning.

Highly recommend!

Robin

Eleven of us from 7-71 came away to celebrate big anniversaries & birthdays. The cottage was very well equipped. There is plenty of space in the cottage so no-one was on top of another. Everyone enjoyed the hot tub, particularly the four youngsters, who also enjoyed trying to race their fathers on the Go-Karts. Grassed area for outdoor games, with equipment. A good selection of indoor games was also available. We all loved the pool table. Some nice walks nearby. Chris was always very helpful.

A great time was had by all (11 adults aged 28-82). There was everything we needed with many great activities too. Some of us had a few enjoyable days out and some of us enjoyed the peaceful, restful location. The owners were discretely attentive to any questions.

A wonderful venue for a holiday with family or friends. So much to do on site there is no need to venture out unless you want to. The peaceful setting gave the opportunity to see wildlife up close and relax completely. It was great having the Lucy & Chris, the owners on site for local information and help should it be needed. They were available bu t not intrusive and made sure our celebration will forever be remembered as a great success. Thanks to all concerned

We went for my daughter's hen weekend and it was absolutely perfect. The Farmhouse is beautiful, quaint but spacious, and well stocked with cups/plates/cooking equipment etc. Lucy had made the best chocolate cake we had ever tasted to welcome us on the Friday - a lovely touch. Lucy and Chris had also decorated the dining room with balloons and ligh ts and banners which delighted the bride to be. The hot tub was excellent and loads of games to play already there. Just perfect thank you

about 11 Miles

This award winning wildlife attraction has much to offer both families and couples looking for a fun and educational day out. You can discover a whole wild world of animals with over 1000 different animals from around the world. You will probably want to try and spend the whole day here so you don's miss out on anything. Highlights include the amazing animals presentation, the birds of prey display and the feeding talks, all of which take place at set times of the day. This attraction is fantastic value for money and highly recommended. Their latest event is the Snow Leopard Club Naming Auction and there has recently been a baby giraffe born at the zoo.

Melsop Farm Park - NR20 3DT

about 16 Miles

We love this attraction in Scoulton, Norfolk with a great collection of animals. Children and adults alike have the chance to get hands on with the animals in the special handling areas. On rainy days there is always the indoor play area for the little ones and when it's time for a bite to eat the cafe on the farm is open all day selling drinks and snacks. Hot food is available over lunch times.

Africa Alive - NR33 7TF

about 17 Miles

Africa Alive is one of Suffolk's largest attractions and one of the most popular in the whole of the UK. The Africa themed park is very unique and gives visitors the chance to see some amazing creatures in a habitat which is as close to nature as possible. The park can be explored by car and on foot and Hyenas and Giraffes are just some of the animals you will encounter as you make your way around the park. Watch out for the lightning fast Cheetahs and keep your eyes peeled to spot the more reclusive creatures. During a day at Africa Alive there will be plenty of shows and educational talks taking place and if the weather turns then the indoor Adventure Play Ground comes in very handy. The site also has a well stocked Gift Shop and a Discovery Centre.

Bewilderwood - NR12 8JW

about 17 Miles

Bewilderwood is a fun day out for the whole family located in the Wroxham area of Norfolk. This imaginative adventure park has won awards and we think kids especially will love the characters and the magical tree houses. You can even book your ticket online and beat the queues by visiting their website where you can also view video clips of the park. This place is also the setting for the book 'A Boggle at BeWILDerwood', by local children's author Tom Blofeld. Parents are not left out either as you're encouraged to take part and play alongside your children.

Pleasurewood Hills Theme Park - NR32 4TZ

about 18 Miles

Pleasurewood Hills Theme Park is an amazing 50 acres area of stunning coastal parkland and is packed with family friendly rides and attractions. This park is an excellent choice for families with children of varied ages as there are a number of small rides for the little ones as well as some adrenaline boosting white knuckle rides for teenagers. As well as rides the site hosts some fantastic shows including the ever popular Sea Lion and Parrot encounters. At Halloween, Christmas and Easter other themed shows can also be enjoyed. The site also has a good range of places to eat and drink whether you are looking to spend a leisurely hour relaxing with a meal or just grab a quick snack.

Dinosaur Adventure Park - NR9 5JW

about 18 Miles

This fun family day out has been well planned and we think is certainly worth a visit. New for 2010 is the PrimEvil at Dinosaur Adventure. Other fun activities include the Dinosaur Trail, Arachnophobia, the Raptor Races and the adventure play area. The secret animal garden is also popular. You can play a role in wildlife conservation and sponsor an animal if you wish. At the moment if you sign up for their newsletter there is a chance to win a family ticket.

Suffolk Owl Sanctuary - IP28 6HX

about 20 Miles

This amazing owl sanctuary located in the Stowmarket area of Suffolk should be high on your list of places to visit in the area. The attraction is also a registered charity and carries out important work in the care & rehabilitation of owls from the region. The sanctuary also raises awareness of owl conservation throughout the UK. Between April and the end of September there are two superb flying displays each day so you should try and make your visit coincide with one of these displays if you can.
