Location

We specialise in larger houses located in East Anglia. Currently We have houses in Norfolk and Suffolk. Both these counties are host to a wide range of visitor attractions including places of historic interest, stately homes, wildlife parks and miles of open pathways, cycle paths, bridleways and of course beautiful beaches; and, of course, the Norfolk Broads.

The beaches fringing the curved Norfolk and Suffolk coastline are in fact the chief draw for many visitors to the region. Even on the busiest summer’s day, there is always space for games, kite-flying or a quiet picnic in the dunes. Children can be entertained easily and cheaply by boating, crabbing, digging for cockles or wading in muddy creeks.

The Norfolk Broads cover an extensive area of north east and central Norfolk and also the northern edge of Suffolk. The Broads are a National Park with over 125 miles of navigable lock-free waterways. There are numerous ‘entry’ points where you can hire ‘self-drive’ craft for the day or jump onto one of the many piloted cruises/trips.

There’s also a fabulous variety of shopping; hospitality in lively Georgian towns such as Burnham Market, Holt, Aldeburgh and Southwold; wherever you are, you’re never far from a cosy, flag stoned-floored pub serving local ales and great regional foods. If shopping is your thing, then Norwich is recognised as the 11th best shopping centre in the UK, with its famous ‘Market’, dating back to the 11th Century and the ‘Lanes’ full of boutique and independent shops, alongside a selection of 21st Century Malls.

All our holiday homes are perfectly based from which to plan your group holiday in East Anglia.
