Summary: Fabulous 6-night stay. Louise was a fantastic host; great communication, met us on arrival for tour of the house (also very kindly left us nice bottle of wine, crisps and a large carrot cake from the local bakery on the dining table, as well as fresh milk and eggs in the fridge!). Beautifully renovated house, tastefully and comfortably furnished, warm and cozy. Kitchen very well stocked with good quality pans, cooking utensils and SHARP knives!!!! She had supplied tea, coffee (instant and coffee pods for the Nespresso machine, as well as a milk frother), sugar, hot chocolate (even marshmallows), as well as salt/pepper grinders and olive oil. Washing machine and dishwasher (powder/tabs supplied), huge fridge and reasonably sized freezer. 4 slice toaster and great oven/grill/induction hob. Living room was very cozy with comfy sofa and chairs in front of a wood fired stove - Louise supplied kindling and logs for the fire (we bought extra at Co-op as we had fire going every night). The hallway by the stairs was well stocked with books, board games and children's book/toys. Bathroom had a shower (powerful stream) and a roll-top bath - hot water was instant and plentiful. Master bedroom was absolutely stunning with big Georgian window and exposed beams. Comfy double bed but bit short for my 6'2" partner. 3 very low beams in house that needed to duck under (I'm 5'9) and definite pitch to upstairs floorboards but got used to it quickly. Would love to stay again!

Summary: My family (4 adults & 2 dogs) stayed at Bank House 15-19 April 23 & had THE most amazing time. We met Louise at her lovely shop Mongers & she showed us round & gave us the keys.. She had kindly left a lovely cake, eggs, milk etc to start us off & every possible permutation of beverage on the shelves! The cottage has period charm by the bucket load & left us all wanting to live there permanently. Every beam, floorboard (beautifully creaking every time you tried to sneak to the toilet in the night 😂) fireplace & accessory were gorgeous & all in keeping with the age of the property. The beds were so comfortable & all the bed linen & towels were lovely quality. We had 2 doggies with us which had a nice box of treats left & who both enjoyed the beautiful garden, which was totally secure & nice to sit with a glass of wine & enjoy the peace & quite - as well as having a lovely chat at the gate with Louise who funnily enough also had a glass of wine! The village was small but had everything you need really close by, the White Heart opposite did a great Sunday roast in the evening & The Hingham Fish & Chip was a minute walk & did one of the best pizzas I’ve ever had. Co Op was a 5 minute walk away & local shop 1 minute. Do give the Community Art Centre a visit, any profits support the local village which is lovely. We did the English Whisky Distillery tour which was so interesting & full of lovely staff who are so passionate about what they make - turned my mum off gin & on to whisky lol Also went to Horning & went on The Southern Comfort paddle boat for a 90 minute trip up the Broads which was £10 very well spent & a great lunch in The Swan. We had a wonderful trip & so enjoyed staying at Louise’s truly magical home. I can’t recommend Bank House highly enough, we all fell a little bit in love with the place & were very sad to go home. Thank you so much Louise ❤️

Summary: The whole experience was superb at this exquisite, spotlessly clean hideaway, steeped in history. Comfortable beds, white linen, luxury toiletries, powerful shower, beautiful garden, delicious welcome cake and everything else you could possibly need or want within a five minute walk. Oh, and a radio in every room! What's not to love? Louise is a wonderful hostess for whom nothing is too much trouble. I was accompanied by my cat who also had a purrfectly lazy time sleeping amongst the lush foliage in the garden, oblivious to everything. Thank you Louise for a truly memorable stay. XXX

Summary: We have just returned from a very relaxing break at Bank House. It had everything we needed and more. Nicely tucked away with all the wonderful quirky charm that comes with a house that is over 500 years old but thanks to being insulated was wonderfully warm and cosy on the cool summer nights. Beautifully and thoughtfully decorated it was a lovely place to return to after days out exploring Norfolk. Our boys (aged 4 and 8) particularly loved the studio - the rocking horse was a firm favourite.
