The accomodation is set in a quiet rural location. The pub normally closes around 9pm in the week and there are no disturbances to where the accommodation is situated. Lots of nice walks and bike trails around Wimbotsham. We are close to Sandringham, Newmarket, Kings Lynn and the Norfolk Coast is a short drive away. Lots for children activities in the surrounding area Church Farm, Thetford Forest, Soft Centres , swimming pools . Many local fishing lakes, boat hire in Ely , Horse Riding Norfolk caters for it all. Downham Market is around a mile away and has nice restaurants and coffee shops, artisan bakery we also have local farm shop , pick your own strawberries, cafe with homemade cakes and pastries and a family run butchers which have amazing sausage rolls and pasties.
