Wighton is an attractive rural village with many of the houses still owned by the Holkham estate. The local pub, The Carpenter's Arms, has undergone extensive refurbishment and has a great reputation for its food and ales. There is an art gallery in the village and it's home to the renowned Mrs Temple's Cheese Rooms which produce some delicious farmhouse cheeses which are hand made from the milk of their own cows. There's a range of flavours and textures including soft veined Binham Blue, crumbly Walsingham, Melton Mozarella, creamy Wighton and the flavoured Gouda type Warhans.
The village is now well known for it's spectacular Scarecrow Festival which is held each year over the May Bank Holiday - and for its live scarecrows that are pleased to greet everyone over that period!
The bustling seaside town of Wells-next-the-Sea is only 2 miles away and the gorgeous sandy beach at Holkham and Victoria Hotel only 3 miles. Nearby are the picturesque villages of Binham and Stiffkey and the wonderful Wiverton fruit farm and cafe.

Lovely spacious house with great decor in a very good location but away from the hustle and bustle of the coast. Thoroughly enjoyable week for all the family. We loved being in a place that has a quality feel about it.
Sumptuous house in a good central North Norfolk location. Very good for entertaining as the kitchen/dining room is so large and opens on to the garden. Fantastic main bathroom and shower ensuite.Underfloor heating a luxury even in summer. We ate well at the pub in the village and appreciated the proximity to Wells for shopping, and to Holkham for the estate walks and the Park Run.
Fabulous house, felt so lucky to spend Easter here. Perfect for big family meals with everything you need in the kitchen. Finding the Carpenters Arms across the road Easter Day service in Holkham Church, there were four labradors in church!
The house was perfect. Truly beautiful home. We had a wonderful holiday.
We've stayed with Sowerbys for 6 years now and this was the best house! Spacious and beautiful interior and garden deco and design. We liked the spacious and beautiful interior and garden deco and design
It was beautiful! The big open plan kitchen and dining area was beautiful and really suited everyone eating and cooking together in the evenings. 10 out of 10 for Yew Tree House we would like to stay again!
