Located in picturesque Norfolk our local area offers a wealth of things to do as well as places to visit. We offer a unique and quirky setting for your overnight stay. With rooms inside the school house, family cottage on the green or lodges within the grounds.
The Chalk and Cheese is a converted Victorian primary school with additions such as the dining orangery and garden lodges. The original building (now Grade 11 listed) was erected in 1866 and was all at one level. Some of the original dividers from the main double classroom can now be seen as part of the divider for the hall and kitchen. Near the bottom of the stairs is a collage of pictures taken when it was a functioning school and above the snug fireplace is an original carved inscription.
We also have an album you can view recording the conversion from school to residence in 2001/2.
