Great place in a very quiet location.
Great place in a very quiet location. We had good weather and saw a lot on Norfolk. The golf course was in poor condition but sure with a little TLC it will improve. I highly recommend The Shank

Our second time visiting The Shank, and again not disappointed.
Our second time visiting The Shank, and again not disappointed. It is lovely and clean inside, the smell when you first walk in is amazing.
It was the perfect place to spend a week and celebrate my 50th!
If I was to be really picky, the plants on the decking outside need replacing, and it could do with a little tlc on the outside garden areas, but thats just a minor point.
Huge thanks again to Pippa and Damion, we will be back

Beautiful location.
Beautiful location. We were disappointed there was only a bottle of wine & no welcome pack included such as milk & bread, as with other 4 & 5 star accommodation we have always had this. If we had known we would have done the shopping before we arrived but had to go out again straight away.
