Accessible Haven Near The North Norfolk Coast

We would like to welcome you to our cottages near the beautiful North Norfolk Coast. They are situated within the large and colourful grounds of a working farm in the quiet village of Bircham, about five miles from the Royal Estate at Sandringham and seven miles from the North Norfolk Coast. It is in an area of natural beauty but it is essential that you have a car. We are a family run business providing 8 self catering cottages designed to accommodate disabled guests, carers and family. We would like to stress that the cottages will suit everybody, disabled and able bodied alike. If you would like to get away to complete peace and tranquility, why not give us a call.

Here's what our guests say...!

 

Great Britain Wheelchair Rugby Highly Recommend NDFC


"GBWR have made NDFC their home base in the build up to London 2012 and beyond. GBWR's Head Coach and Performance Manager said "NDFC provides a unique and idyllic setting for the development and nurturing of our squad on a number of different fronts. We moved here to develop team cohesion and promote athlete bonding, in a secure and adapted environment. This is without doubt 'best in class' and you will be hard pushed to find a better adapted facility. We are always warmly welcomed by William and Emma, their staff and everyone we have direct dealings with in the area." Great Britain Wheelchair Rugby Team


"We've had a fantastic Christmas thanks to this wonderfully adapted cottage. Everything was made so easy by the carefully thought out adaptations. A beautiful setting. Thank you. Hope to come again." JV, London

"Excellent facilities for disabled holiday - makers. Everything has been thought of. We appreciated the hospitality, and this part of Norfolk is still so unspoilt. Thank you!" MB, Suffolk

"Another great holiday for our age group, 11yrs - 93yrs! Accommodation excellent for all of us - plenty of space, very comfortable. Even the weather 'obliged' this year! Many thanks" L,P,T,C,B & F
