Betty's House is a very comfortable, well-appointed holiday let.
Betty's House is a very comfortable, well-appointed holiday let. There is an attractive living area overlooking a very large garden with views over to the river Wensum. The kitchen is well equipped, maybe would benefit from some basins to reheat food in the microwave? Comfortable bed (we can only speak for one!), good shower and upstairs and downstairs toilets. well recommended!
