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!

Our second stay at The Paddock. Another superb time with the family. Very clean, very relaxing. Couldn't have asked for more. Great weather. Stunning at Sandringham and Holkham beach. Sheringham coast and park were great for the kids.
This is an amazing house and is good for large parties. Our second visit and one of the best properties we have stayed in. We absolutely love it here. There is loads of room inside and out. The quality of all the furnishings is luxury including top quality bedding in all the bedrooms. Little touches throughout that make it feel welcoming. The outside play area is amazing and the children in our party loved it. The huge paddock is great for sports. The table tennis was popular. Lots of great games and toys for children to play with, to suit all ages. Walking along Brancaster beach to see seals - our favourite beach.
Snowdrops at Walsingham Abbey are amazing. Crab fishing at The Quay at Burnham Overy Staithe. Also walking across the marshes and seeing flocks of different birds. Bird watchers paradise. Holkham beach and Hall well worth a visit. Play area is really good. It was closed on our visit in February but mainly open later in year. Seeing the red kites flying over the paddock. We would definitely book to stay in this house again.
Wow what a wonder fil time we have had in this beautiful home. This is our 2nd time staying here, and we just love it so much. An amazing space for Adults and children to be together and make special memories. We will definitely be back.
We came for a celebration - a golden wedding and a 40th birthday - we celebrated in style! The house is absolutely perfect and met our needs. everything is spotlessly clean, great bedding that makes you feel like you are in a hotel. There are lots of lovely touches throughout the house that make a difference. The gardens and paddock at the back are fabulous and as it was an amazing weekend weather wise we took full advantage of it. Even lit the fire pit on Saturday evening. Not bad for October. Of course the boys loved the play area and couldn't believe it! There is loads of space everywhere. which is great with lots of people. Highlights for us were walking to see the seals at Brancaster beach. Walking around Holkham Park was good too. Fish and chips at Wells were great and recommend. We hope to be back.
Wow, what an incredible home! We have all had such a peaceful stay at The Paddock, the layout of the home with thought out views and private spaces was a winning combination. We all had enough space to enjoy together and quiet time. We woke up to the most beautiful sunrises and because of the wild flowers and mature garden we were covered in nature, seeing grasshoppers, monk jacks, red squirrels, dragonflies, blue tits and red kites flying over the house. Thank you for creating such a beautiful, tranquil home that allows its guest to feel rested. We are all in agreement that this has felt like a retreat. Can’t recommend this place enough
A beautiful and very well equipped holiday cottage. The play area was a great hit with the children of the party. There are good restaurants and pubs nearby. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it as a great place for a large party of family and friends. The play area for children, the lovely gardens and outdoor seating areas.
Lovely property and great for a mixed age range, large family. Location is really good for the north North Norfolk coast and other atttractions. Property was clean and well equipped....pleasure to stay there.
An excellent holiday in a superbly equipped holiday home. The quality of the fittings and appliances was second to none. Comfortable beds and ample bathrooms were very much appreciated. The family have spent holidays in several houses in the area over the years, but this has been the best so far. We will definitely consider returning.
We have gad a wonderful break here at this lovely house to celebrate my 85th birthday with my family - 3 generations. The Paddocks is absolutely superb. It is so well appointed and the grounds are so attractive. Many thanks to the owners for the care and consideration that has gone in to this first class holiday home. Although my great-nephews are in their late twenties and early thirties, they thoroughly enjoyed the table tennis, Jenga and using the frisbie! Archie adored the paddock and chasing away any bird that took its chances to land. He even tried catching the hare that crossed the paddock, but catching it thank goodness was a forlorn hope. We have had wonderful walks on Brancaster Beach, a must for collecting shells. Wells-next-the-Sea a long walk by the "river" which eventually led to the sea. Holkham Beach another long walk to the sea. The Duck Inn & The Orange Tree at Thornham are fine fining places. I have visited this area of Norfolk for about 30 years and I will never tire of its beauty and big skies. Mind you, walking with gale force winds blowing from the east has added to the challenge.
The Paddock is a really lovely property. Spacious, attractively furnished and decorated, and very well equipped. Great outdoor space too. We would definitely stay there again.
our stay was just perfect.
A perfect week in a gorgeous property. What a treat! Walking distance from fabulous pub, a wonderful garden for the children and an extremely well equipped house.
At The Paddock we like the space and peace and quiet. There are so many different areas that it is always possible to find a quiet corner to sit and read. This was our second visit to the Paddock and we thoroughly enjoyed our visit. We could well return for a third visit in the future.
We spent a week at the Paddocks with a family group of 8 including two young grandkids. The property exceeded our expectations for both living space and bedroom size. The kitchen was very well stocked with high quality appliances and plenty of crockery, glasses and utensils. The large garden and paddock was ideal for our grandkids to run around and they also enjoyed the play equipment. The property is secluded from others. The local pub 'The Duck Inn" was within walking distance and well worth a visit. Stanhoe was an ideal location to stay for visiting Burnham Market, Holkham Beach etc which were only a short drive away. We will definitely try to stay at the Paddock again next time we're in Norfolk.
Lovely place. Great amenities and location. Highly recommended
This is an amazing house particularly for families of several generations, there's room for everyone to do their own thing or equally to come together socially.
It has been very well equipped and everything is to a very high standard.
The outside space is brilliant and the climbing/play frame a real added bonus.
Its ideally situated to explore the beautiful beaches and towns close by and lovely to return to and relax after a busy day .
I would highly recommend the Paddock.
Perfect setting!!! We will be back ....
Outstanding! As above we will be back!! As owners of a holiday home ourselves we appreciate quality, cleanliness and character and guests do too! The Paddocks has all these by the bucket loads! A wonderful cottage in a wonderful location. Very many thanks.
Second visit for all of us to this wonderful barn. We had a fantastic time on the beach with Wells-Next-The-Sea being a real hit with our boys. The weather has been great and we have enjoyed sitting out by the fire pit in the evening, enjoying the sounds of the sheep and birds.
Today we enjoyed a lovely trip to Holkham Hall and Dinosaur Adventures has been great for the boys.
We found that Hunstanton had the best parking for the beach but a long walk from the car park to the beach and the waves are far larger to the gentle tide in Wells. We enjoyed a pre-ordered fish and chips dinner on arrival from the local fish and chip shop.
Enjoy your stay.
Tastefully furnished & decorated. It was very comfortable with attention having been given to small details. Thanks for a wonderful stay!
The paddocks has made a wonderful home for the week. This house is very comfortable with great space, making for a very relaxing and enjoyable stay., We love North Norfolk and its charming villages and glorious beaches. Holkham Hall and beach is definitely worth checking out. We will be back and hope to enjoy another visit to this lovely home.
The property is beautiful and very well set up for holiday letting. We had a brilliant time there.
Fantastic stay, we all loved the house and garden. The kids (6yrs & 9yrs) loved the table tennis and the grown ups loved the space and beautiful decor. We had a great dinner at the Duck Inn and also enjoyed the deli and cafe at Creake Abbey (as well as the lovely vintage shop there). Beautiful beaches and country houses. Highlights were Holkham beach & hall (cycling & rowing boats etc.) and the fantastic kids play area at Sandringham. We hope to be back soon. Thanks so much for a great stay.
The Paddock was better than expected, absolutely gorgeous, excellent facilities beautifully decorated and presented. Extremely homely. Looking very much forward to a return visit.
We loved our stay at The Paddock. The best equipped holiday house we have ever stayed in. The area is wonderful (very close to lots of really nice beaches) and we were very lucky with the weather. We would like to return again next August but sadly it is already fully booked.
Lovely property with amazing outlook and garden. Children loved having a playground at the bottom of the garden. We like The Paddock most for the Space, Bathroom Facilities and the Garden for Children. We would stay again!
This was a brilliant property for 3 generations. The space, both inside and out, allowed the children to let of steam whatever the weather. There were also quiet areas for more restful moments. We loved the decor and felt homely with lots of books, magazines and games. It was a truly wonderful place to stay!
Although the sunshine hardly showed its face, we have had a lovely fun weekend. The boys couldn't make full use of the paddock and play equipment, but did enjoy the table tennis and boules on the manicured lawn at the front. Lovely comfy beds and so cosy with the log fire. A great way to celebrate a 70th and two 40th birthdays. Many thanks.
We have all had the most wonderful stay in The Paddock. Friends, family, an 8th birthday & New Years Eve. Beautiful walks along the beaches, many amazing lunches (Wiveton Bell, The White Horse & The Hoste).
The house had everything we needed. Many great memories made.
Many thanks.
I had the best kids bedroom and the beds are so comfortable. I loved my birthday here because there were lots of fun things. My favourite was the playground and playing on the ropes, it was great. Mimi 8
Also, we saw some pheasants and partridges on Friday with lots of other birds.
