Location

Middleton village lies on the A47, just over an hour’s drive from Norwich and two and a half hours by road or rail from London.

The stunning North Norfolk coast is a short drive away, whilst a day spent on the golden sands of Wells-next-the-Sea beach is unforgettable. The market town of King’s Lynn, a ten-minute drive away, offers a range of independent shops, cafes and restaurants, as does Norwich, with its stunning medieval architecture and thriving art scene, set among historic surroundings.
