Local essentials

Everything you need within easy reach

“Wherever you be,

There you are.”
Anon, Norfolk

And even grounded in that moment you may still need shops, takeaways, pubs etc.

Four Oaks is ideally located – secluded with a remote feel, and with all the village amenities within easy reach.

“..There is a pub a short 10 min walk away (drinks, no food), with a Tesco Express, fish bar and other pubs a short drive away (10 mins max). The village is lovely and really rural.”
Hannah M.

“…beautiful countryside, very peaceful, lovely hosts, clean and eco friendly amenities. Brilliant place for children to play and run around.”
