Got up early to see the geese the following morning and when we returned a most wonderful breakfast awaited. Maria and Eddie made us feel so welcome and a big thankyou for that.... More

A genuInely warm welcome and an arrival coffee whilst watching the fly-by of some of the 30000 geese that roost at the next door RSPB reserve.

This was a last minute booking as a surprise for my other half and with the main aim of visiting RSPB nature reserve at Snettisham which is very close by. We were absolutely blown away by Twitchers Retreat which is run by genial hosts... More
