Description from owner
Description
Tinker's Retreat, originally the coach house to The Old Vicarage dating back to circa 1845, is a true holiday retreat. Drive through the large wrought iron gates, hang up the car keys, and sit back and enjoy the surroundings.
All on one level this property can comfortably accommodate upto 6 people. There are 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a large spacious lounge with log burner and a light and airy large kitchen to the rear with patio doors so you can step out into the private garden with hot tub.
The property has been beautifully furnished to ensure a comfortable stay. Children and pets are very welcome. The garden is fully enclosed and the small pond is completely fenced off. There is a separate conservatory against the old Victorian garden wall, a a handy 2nd lounge - so if you fancy bundling the youngsters out from under your feet then this is an ideal place for them - or even you!
There is a large hot tub for 6 people, patio with comfortable patio furniture etc., so after a hectic day out in Norfolk, you can sit in the hot tub and watch the stars overhead.
If you don't fancy driving and want to arrive by train - personal collection from the station can be arranged. If you just can't be bothered to organise a shopping delivery or go shopping for groceries - send me the list and it can all be waiting for you. This is your holiday to enjoy!

IMPORTANT: It saddens me to have to state this, but anyone found to be in breach of our house rules - i.e. trying to accommodate more people than they have booked for will automatically lose their damage deposit and will incur extra charges on top of this. If you are not at maximum occupancy within your booking and wish to have more friends or family to stay - then please ask permission. Thankyou.
A fee for pets is automatically added to your booking as so many of our guests have dogs. If you do not have any pets within your booking then please advise of this fact when you request a quote so the extra fee can be removed.
