Wow! What a beautiful home. We've had the most wonderful stay here at Skippers, it is clean, spacious and perfectly decorated. The garden in this lovely July weather has been the best sanctuary after a day of exploring. BBQ, glass of wine on the sun-lounger whilst the little ones run around the tree = perfection! We've totally fallen head over heels with the area and will 100% be back, thank you!

We absolutely loved it here! The house is so comfortable and furnished and the garden is such a sun trap. We also enjoyed walking Brancaster beach every morning and playing tennis at the playing field near the village hall. Luckily took our bikes with us, so we were able to cycle around beautiful Holkham and the lovely village of Thornham too. Overall, we thought it was fantastic!
