Guestbook

'Yee hah!'
'This place is beautifully strange, eclectic and cosy. It’s perfect for a quiet weekend away with 16 people'

Smith tip

Should you wish to stage your own rodeo at the house, you'll need to know how to ride a bucking bronco. The aim of the professional rodeo rider is to stay on the bronco for a minimum of eight seconds (much easier said than done). The best technique is to lean back, grab the front of the saddle with a vice-like grip and flail madly with your other arm. Don’t forget to wear a Stetson.

Style
Wild West
Setting
East Anglian flatlands

Part psychedelic Wild West-style hacienda, part baronial hunting lodge, this Norfolk hideaway is the perfect combination of ultimate party house and tranquil rural seclusion. The eight individually decorated bedrooms offer such unbridled quirkiness as floral wallpaper, chintzy curtains, birch branch beds and riding saddles; there’s even a ‘bunk house’ room with four adult-sized beds. It's ideal for a quiet weekend away with 17 of your nearest and dearest hedonistic friends and relations.
