   A review by Louise B says "We spent a wonderful day here...the approach to the house is stunning, as are the gardens and grounds. Easy to spend a couple of hours exploring these. Talking of which...what made our day were the incredibly friendly and helpful staff and volunteers..." "The National Trust should be so proud of their volunteers and staff. We also ate in the café there, again, very good. Plus a very well-stocked NT shop. At the end of our lovely day, we had a drink in the village pub. A real NT gem in north Norfolk. Definitely worth a visit..." - TripAdvisor.

   A review by Sagar D says "We visited yesterday on a beautiful sunny day. The NT car park is free to members so remember to bring your card. The car park is at start of the reserve and next to the to the small village. The village itself is very pretty with lovely stone cottages, beautifully restored and decorated. Clearly a popular place to stay as there were so many rental places! Almost all had a tell tale key box! Nice little shops and a few eateries. The walk is through salt marshes and is around 4 miles on a circular route. We sat for some time in the glorious sunshine paddling in the shallow quay waters. Lovely day!" - TripAdvisor.
