What a great stay in Norfolk we have all enjoyed, The Cattle Shed really has been marvellous and made our stay 10 times better than we could imagine. All the lovely times we have had cooking together and big family meals around the huge table have been great. We will really miss this house and Norfolk. We would recommend a trip to Burnham Market foRead morer a few hours of shopping and then a beach trip at Holkham. The Pub in Binham is also brilliant. Hide
