The Old Rectory

Stanhoe, Norfolk, UK
Sleeps 16 | Bedrooms 8 | Bathrooms 6 | Sorry, No Pets
There's something special about this English country house, early morning lengths in the heated pool, before the rest of the rabble cannonball through inflatable doughnuts, spontaneous tennis tournaments sponsored by a few jugs of Pimms, late-afternoon games and a bbq around the endless gardens and the chance to relax poolside as the world dissolves behind your well-thumbed pages, before you get ready to host a four-course supper party for your good time clan. And, when you do venture out, it'll be to a new beach every day of your stay.

Guestbook

As feedback…Barefoot Retreats have provided us with an exceptional first class service. The accommodation was exactly as described and the welcome back was a very nice touch. You communicated well with us and at no point was I not clear on who and when I should speak to someone. The Old Rectory was amazing accommodation, excellent location and 5star accommodation. The place was spotless and we have no complaints.
