7 Bedroom Cottage in Walsingham

Houghton Farmhouse is a 7 bedroom, 4 bathroom period farmhouse that can comfortably sleep 18. There is a choice of 2 large receptions, including dining room for 18 and smart TV room. The gardens are extensive and include a separate games room.
The house has been furnished to a modern and extremely comfortable standard with all imaginable conveniences; a fully stocked kitchen to enable your culinary juices to flow free, be it for a quick snack for all or that 5 course banquet for 18 people to celebrate the special occasion.
Houghton Farmhouse is ideal for family gatherings; to celebrate that wedding anniversary, special birthday, or simply to get friends and family together under one roof.
The garden is c. 1 acre in size and very private. We have converted one of the period barns into a games room, to include table tennis, pool, darts and numerous games etc.
The kitchen benefits from a walk-in larder and separate utility room, with washing machine, dishwasher and separate large fridges & freezer.
The lounge has soft seating for 18 with an open fire-place (logs can be provided for a fee). There is a wall mounted Sony Smart TV, with surround sound cinema system, connected to the internet and with a library of films for those rainy/lazy days in. If you have your own lovefilm or similar account, you can access them via this TV setup.
We have recently installed a heated swimming pool, with enclosure for all year around swimming.
Wheelchair access is not perfect. The house is very old, and built in several stages. There are therefore slight steps to accommodate different ground floor levels. This is normal for houses of this age and standard. However, these small variances in floor levels makes wheelchair access awkward, but not impossible. Some doors are wide enough to allow access.
Please note that the broadband in the house is provided by a third-party supplier. We cannot be held responsible if the service dips or stops working for any reason outside of our control. Of course, we will endeavour to remedy the situation as promptly as we can, but as you will appreciate, we are reliant on the third party.

Summary: We have literally just got back from Houghton on what was a fantastic weekend away with the family over Mother's Day weekend. The house is exceptionally clean and was lovely and warm. I read about another customer complaining about heating surcharge but this was not an issue to us. The only things which we can think of which are in no way criticisms but more feedback for the benefit of future customers is that it would be great to have stair guards at the bottom of the stairs too. We were impressed that there were stair guards at the top of the stairs though! We think it would be lovely to get some more lighting in the pool enclosure as we all would have liked to have had an evening swim. The only other thing is that it was really muddy outside the games room so perhaps a little step or something? Not an issue in the summer but we had a lot of rain this weekend. We found the house warm and comfortable equipping us with everything we could possibly think of! Perhaps some little history of the house would be nice in the visitor folder. In no way a criticism that this was not included though! These are again not complaints but the only things we could think in order to help the management of this beautiful place! Would definitely recommend to anyone!

Summary: I stayed at Houghton Farmhouse for my hen weekend in July and I have to say it was the most perfect weekend! There were 14 of us and we all had such an amazing time. On arrival to have milk in the fridge and some wine on the table was very thoughtful. The house itself was a dream - all the bedrooms were beautiful, light and airy with good selection of beds in each room. The beds themselves were so comfortable and bedding luxurious. The kitchen was better equipped than my house at home and everyone staying said how much they would love it! The huge fridge and freezer in the separate room were also much appreciated on the very hot weekend for storing our wine (and food)!! The gardens and outside spaces are also well equipped so we were able to have a wonderful BBQ outside and all sit around with plenty of seating for everyone. Similarly inside the lounge is a great area to all sit around and socialise and we didn't feel squashed in at all. It is a short distance to Wells beach which is lovely and the nearby villages also look great for exploring and we can't wait to go back again. I would highly recommend this for any groups or families as its a wonderful house and I will have so many memories from the perfect weekend.

Summary: For my 35th Birthday we booked Houghton Farmhouse for 18 of us, and from the moment we arrived to the moment we left we had a truly idyllic stay. The house was perfect for a large group, beautifully decorated (unlike so many holiday rentals) spotlessly clean, spacious, and with huge beautiful garden. Each room was decorated differently, decently sized and with gorgeous furniture. We cooked a lot! And the kitchen had every utensil we could wish for and the Aga was a dream to cook on, and with the dining room connected it made for dinner party heaven! We also had wonderful weather so made use of the modern BBQ. We did not have one complaint and are already booking for next year once the pool is finished! Clair was so helpful right through the booking process and on hand if we needed her during the weekend. We cannot recommend the house enough! It was the perfect weekend.

Summary: We had a wonderful family holiday, the house was perfect. The house was well equipped and had generous space for large parties. We were able to enjoy socialising together and also have separate living space without being on top of each other. Beautiful garden; perfect for dining, playing and relaxing! The games room had table tennis, pool table and subuteo table extra sofas and kids toys.... Enough entertainment for all ages. A beautiful home with lovely surroundings. The house is clean and very well presented with lovely big bedrooms; even the smallest bedroom is spacious. We all had a lovely time and will be returning. Thank you Clair

Summary: We stayed at Houghton Farmhouse for 2 weeks in August. Two families with a combined 4 adults and 7 children and still had rooms to spare! The children loved the house – the beautiful orchard gardens and playroom were a constant source of fun and adventure! The house is charming, clean and looks great from an interior point of view. The kitchen has everything you could possibly need and we loved the AGA! The area is lovely – within 20m drive from beaches, golf courses etc. We definitely hope to visit again!

Summary: Congratulations on the conversion of the farmhouse to superb spacious holiday accommodation - done very tastefully, to a very high standard and exceptionally well fitted out. It was ideal for our family gathering - fifteen of us spread over three generations. We couldn't have asked for more! Definitely to be recommended. The Wilfords

Summary: I stayed for a three night long weekend with 6 other women, we have rented weekend accommodation once a year for many years in Norfolk and Suffolk. It is the first time I have felt the need to air a few grumbles! We paid a premium price for what we understood to be premium accommodation. I had a double downstairs bedroom, one of the window panes was cracked from top to bottom in a couple of places and had obviously been there some time as the plastic cover (intended to keep out the drafts?) was painted into the frame. My friend also had a downstairs room and some of the curtain hooks had been broken leaving the curtain half hanging off the pole. On our first night we found the seven dinner plates we went to use had old encrusted food left on them, in fact we could see what the previous people had eaten! The living room lighting was just not up to par, the only side light had no bulb and the alternative was full overhead lights! Perhaps our biggest grumble was the £100 surcharge for heating. No matter if we had had the heating on full blast 24hours a day would we have consumed a £100 worth of fuel in the few days we were there. As it was we had the heating on for a few hours in the evening and the morning and felt there should be some sort of meter system if the owners feel the need to add on heating charges. Apart from these few grumbles we had a lovely stay and enjoyed the house, the beds are indeed very comfortable and the bedding was of high quality. The kitchen was well equipped and we were pleased to see the wine on the table when we arrived and milk in the fridge.

Summary: Myself, my partner and friends have done many cottage breaks away before but this is by far the biggest place we have stayed with the most amount of people. I surprised my partner for his birthday and had all of our friends come to join us for the weekend. The house is stunning when you drive up to it, better than in the pictures! There is so much land, so great if the weather is good (like is was for us)! The girls sat around the garden area and had music playing in the games room and the boys went to the back of the garden and played football. We had a lovely BBQ one day and cooked in the kitchen the other. The BBQ and the kitchen both had everything you would need and more! No need to bring any equipment with you. The rooms were big and very comfortable. My partner and I had the room with the bathroom and it was very comfortable and the shower was lovely. There is so much to the house its easy to get lost and feel like you are in some sort of manor house. The decor is great, the TV room is very comfortable with a good selection of DVD's, the games room went to good use in the evenings and the dining room was a lovely place to have meals. We all cooked together and there is plenty of space and a big aga too! Overall we all loved our stay here, it can be enjoyed by young 20-somethings (like us) who went for a break away from London and to eat and drink all weekend or a big family get-together. I would definitely stay here again and recommend this to anybody who wants a relaxing cottage break. The owner was also very helpful and requested the cleaners put birthday banners up for me to surprise my partner before we got to the house- a very nice touch! The house was clean and as stated in the description. There is a pub nearby and a big tesco a short drive away. We didn't hear any neighbors and it was generally very quiet and peaceful all weekend.
