The substantial house is situated in good-sized gardens surrounding the house which are mainly lawned and have been well-maintained with an abundance of shrubs and plants. There is a gate from the front drive leading to the gardens which are enclosed by a wire fence, making it small child-proof, but not necessarily dog proof!)

Village
An attractive Norfolk farming village which is defined by the large pretty duck pond in the heart of the village. Many of the properties in Stanhoe are constructed from traditional brick and flint with curvy pantiles on the roof, making for many pretty chocolate box homes.
There is a great award-winning gastropub in Stanhoe called The Duck Inn known for its use of local produce and delicious East Anglian Ales. A warm inviting feel greets you in this village eatery and a great menu, making it a good destination either for a nice evening meal or a relaxing drink - make sure you book ahead!
History
The village has been a farming village since the Romans, it was the Saxons that gave the village its name Stanhoe (Stony Hill).
In the 19th Century the parish priest was Philip Ward the husband of Lord Nelsons daughter Horatia.
Visit
Stanhoe is close to the popular Georgian village destination of Burnham Market, known for the great selection of independent shops that surround the picturesque village green. There's a butcher, baker, hardware store, popular fishmonger and also lovely cafes and many eateries,as well as boutiques and galleries to peruse. Just a short drive away is the vast Norfolk coastline with the sailing villages of Brancaster Staithe and Burnham Overy Staithe, open sandy beaches at Brancaster and Holme, with splendid coastal walks, ideal for all the family and your four-legged friend too!

We had a fabulous 4 generational (aged 1 - 93 yrs) holiday in this spacious holiday house. It was our second visit and we were impressed by the general condition of the property. The beautiful garden was very well maintained too. Within 15-20 mins of superb North Norfolk beaches and Burnham Market. A superb and memorable holiday!
We enjoyed playing in the garden…with 5 children.Lots of space in the house both for our large group and for privacy. Very good standard of decoration and furnishings. Plenty of good kitchen equipment and crockery.
What a beautiful house for a large group. It accommodated our 2 families , dogs and toddlers easily , was well equipped, very clean and comfortable, and had a beautiful garden . The delightful owner lives next door and was very welcoming. It is only a few mins drive to Burnham Market, and the coast is about 15 mins away. We all loved our stay - thank you .
As this is the 4th time we have stayed it still delights us with the very high standards it keeps. Never a thing out of place and nearly always subtle changes for improvement. We are booking again for next year. The sun helped! So we were able to enjoy the garden more. Amanda keeps her standards very high. She is so very welcoming that you feel at home rather than staying in holiday accommodation.
Beautiful house and location. We have stayed there before.
Lovely big house for a family get together. Very warm and comfortable. Highlights: 60th Birthday celebrations.
It was a privilege to stay in such an historical property- it was very clean and comfortable despite its size and number of rooms so well done housekeepers! 1) Being welcomed by Amanda, what a lovely lady 2)The Christmas tree in the entrance hall decorated beautifully 3)The fire lit in the big living room to welcome us on a cold,dark night 4)My grandchildren playing hide and seek and getting lost in far corners of the house 5)Family gatherings in the kitchen around the Aga 6) Christmas dinner for 10 around the formal dining room table 7)A glitter ball disco for my grandchildren in the small living room 8)Last but not least- the beautiful garden which is obviously loved and well looked after even in winter.
Our group of ladies have stayed at Little Barwick House for our annual trip to Norfolk for many years. It is a very well equiped, spacious house set in a wonderful garden. We shall be back again. The house always makes you feel relaxed.
This is a brilliant house for several generations of family. It is spacious and comfortable but also feels homely and not too precious. We have stayed her two years' running now and it is a firm favourite with the grandchildren. Very spacious, well equipped kitchen. Dualit toaster and AGA. Lots of space in the house when its raining. Brancaster beach 15 mins away and Wells less than half an hour.
Wonderful place to stay with oodles of charm and character. Very comfortable and warm. Everything one would need is there. I am booking again for next year
Plenty of space to be sociable with many people all in the same space , equally plenty of areas for quiet time . The gardens are a delight to wander around.
We had a wonderful week, such a lovely house, perfect for 50th birthday celebrations.
We have stayed every year for the last 8 years and will continue to book. This is an excellent location for a large gathering. Very relaxed atmosphere in a lovely house.
Beautiful big warm house lots of space. Lovely holiday close to beaches plenty of space for three families.
We have just returned from our second visit to Little Barwick and already booking for next year.
What can I say but WOW! what a stunning location and wonderful property. The owner was so helpful and greeted us with such warmth.
We wanted for nothing. Absolutely everything one needed was there and more.
I can only give 5 stars for a 5 star accommodation.
Thank you Amanda for letting us use your property.
