With an abundance of attractions within reach to suit all ages and tastes there is no shortage of places to go when staying in this pretty Victorian home. For those who enjoy energetic pursuits, the well-known Peddars Way can be accessed from the village, where a trail of 46 miles is perfect for walkers and cyclists. Nature lovers will find day trips to the Norfolk Broads and RSPB reserves particularly memorable while superb family days out can be found all along the North Norfolk coastline offering traditional seaside fun. Steeped in history the famous St Mary's church at Houghton-on-the-Hill is definitely worth a visit.   Anyone with a competitive nature may wish to visit the local go-kart track or, for a more sedate pace and retail therapy, head into Swaffham or historic City of Norwich.

Guests entering this beautiful detached house will initially find the porch, ideal for coats and shoes or wiping down muddy paws before stepping into the entrance hall. From here guests will be greeted by two separate lounges ideal for larger parties who wish to find some time for themselves. Both lounges have comfortable sofas and TV’s to help relax and recharge after spending a day exploring the local area. One of the lounges also features an open fire enabling guests to create a cosy atmosphere and the other has one side of the dual facing wood burner. The kitchen/diner offers guests the chance to cook up a feast with an Aga style gas oven and hob, fridge, freezer and microwave. There is a handy utility cupboard in the kitchen/diner which has a dishwasher and washing machine. The dining area has a table and chairs to seat all and the other side of the dual facing wood burner providing a perfect backdrop to celebrate any occasion. There is a lovely cosy snug, ideal for children and adults alike to spend any remaining downtime with a selection of board games. Completing the ground floor accommodation is the shower room with separate shower and WC. There are three bedrooms located on the first floor all with views over the garden, the first of which is a spacious super-king-size with feature fireplace, the second is a double and the third, a single. The bathroom with a beautiful roll top bath, WC and the contemporary tiling create a sophisticated place to soak and reinvigorate. Ascending the slightly steeper staircase to the second floor and minding your head on any low doorways, the last of the bedrooms can be found off the second-floor landing, both of which are doubles with steps leading down and views over open fields one having a dressing area with built in wardrobes and an en-suite bathroom with hand-held shower over bath and WC.

For those who enjoy spending time outside, the charming garden is fully enclosed making it safe for children and pets to run off any excess energy while a selection of garden furniture and charcoal BBQ offer opportunities for a spot of al fresco dining during the warmer months amongst the pretty planted boarders and flower beds. Off-road parking for three cars with more available subject to availability.

The house was perfect for our family group (7 adults / 2 boys and dogs) over the Christmas period. It was spacious enough for us to enjoy spending time together but also had a games and TV room. The roaring fire and decorations made it feel christmasy. We found some great dogs walks but it was a shame the pub next door was closed! Thanks to Sally tRead morehe host for being attentive although as everything was perfect we had no real call to bother her. Totally recommend staying! Hide

Glebe House was a lovely place to stay over Christmas. The kitchen was very well equipped and the beds were comfy. Sally was quick at replying which was helpful. Be wary if you are over 5 feet 8 as there are some low doorways!

This is a spacious and cosy house, with lots of rooms for the family to enjoy time together, or some quiet time. It is very well equipped and homely. We felt very relaxed and loved sitting in the garden in the evenings.

We had a great week at Glebe House, family with five children ages 13-5 years plus our dog. The house has everything youd need, it was like home from home with all the facilities and equipment. Also local park is brilliant for all ages.

If youre a large family or group of friends holidaying together, you wont be disappointed. Glebe House is beautiful!. The beds are very comfortable and the space is great - a sitting room that seats everyone plus smaller sitting rooms if you want to escape for a bit.

A lovely house that meant all our family could get together and relax. The kids loved playing hide and seek and playing in the garden. We visited Thetford Forest and Sandringham Palace and then had big family meals and games in the evening. Also walks and a park on the doorstep. Would highly recommend it.
