The living area is a lovely light and airy space with French doors that allow you to bring the outside in. This property was built with love because it was built by the owners for someone they love, and it really shows.

When it comes to things to see and do, you will most certainly be spoilt for choice.

And you can be at the stunning Norfolk coastline exploring beautiful beaches, wild marshes, walking cliff-tops, promenade and even a pier, or sitting on the quayside at Wells-next-the-Sea eating fish and chips within twenty minutes. This coastline really does have it all so whether you are a wild swimmer a blustery beach walker, a paddler or sandcastle maker, there will be something for you. Add in great golf courses, nearby fishing lakes, lovely walks and nice, flat cycle routes and you will soon see why this area is so popular. And after a busy day exploring you can be certain of a great night’s sleep at Betty’s House. Sweet dreams! Beach 13 miles.

Betty's House is a very comfortable, well-appointed holiday let.
Betty's House is a very comfortable, well-appointed holiday let. There is an attractive living area overlooking a very large garden with views over to the river Wensum. The kitchen is well equipped, maybe would benefit from some basins to reheat food in the microwave? Comfortable bed (we can only speak for one!), good shower and upstairs and downstairs toilets. well recommended!
