Quirky

It was fun to stay at 'Just the Ticket'. Lovely little woodburner, which was much needed in February! We would have loved to try out the hot tub but couldn't face walking from the carriage. The carriage was close to the main road and we hadnt realise there was little to walk to around the property, but there is plenty to enjoy a short drive away.

Just the ticket was absolutely perfect.

Just the ticket was absolutely perfect.Visit was for my husband’s 60th birthday.Reading the visitor book some people commented on it being cold when visiting later in the year!There’s a log burner in there and ample cosy throws for sitting outside. It’s a train carriage which I imagine would be difficult to insulate 🙄Plenty to do in the area, all a drive away which was fine. Beautiful beaches nearby and Sandringham house is about 20 minutes away.I would highly recommend this for a quirky but very comfortable get away.100% from me and we will definitely return.Thank you
