Gabot Farmhouse is absolute heaven, we had everything we needed for our three week stay last Summer. The house had plenty of space for us as a group of 11 aged 10-80, and provided all that we could have asked for. Amazing covered terrace, divine pool area situated in a truly tranquil spot where we could all relax and enjoy our holiday. We had several day trips to lakes, castles and local towns too. Thank you Lizzie we had a fantastic stay.

Had a lovely relaxing time: hot tub every day (despite the silly “spring” temperatures of 4 degrees). Walks around about, exploring down to Reedham Ferry and loving seeing all the lambs playing. Thrigby Hall Wildlife Gardens were great – from crocodiles to tigers, and we did the 1920s wooden roller-coaster at Great Yarmouth Pleasure Beach. Beccles was a smart town to explore and a very reasonable meal at the recently reopened Kings Head. Many thanks.

We’ve had a fantastic week, what a house. We loved the hot tub and we were very taken with the freezer that dispenses ice. It was great fun to see the lambs bouncing around and lovely to relax in the countryside. Our two dogs loved it too and are exhausted now. All in all, a wonderful holiday.

I was looking for a big comfortable house for a chilled birthday weekend with nine friends. We loved the hot tub, the peace and the birdsong, found all the equipment we could wish for in the kitchen, were warm, slept in lovely cosy beds, there was plenty of room for cars, and any questions or requirements were promptly and cheerfully dealt with by Lizzie and Nick. It felt like home and it was so hard to leave! I thoroughly recommend this house, and its owners, even though I’d rather keep it a secret so it’s available next time I want it…
Suttons, June 2013
Our farm stay was one of the best things we did on our month long trip in the UK from Australia. We were welcomed into the home and treated like part of the family which made our stay very enjoyable and relaxing! The food was delicious. We loved experiencing the farm life and learning about the differences and similarities to Australian farm life! Unfortunately we did not stay long enough! Would recommend staying here and would love to come back in the future!
