Beautiful place, everything we needed.
Beautiful place, everything we needed. Short drive to the coast. Great cafe at Waxham Barn - The Dunes. A little road noise but not too bad. Directions are a little miss leading - head for Brick Kiln Lane, off Town Road and opposite Grove Road- then a tight left turn.Great hosts - always available.
