Sustainable Property
Sustonica, the first global sustainability standard for holiday lets.
Our aim is to create lasting holiday memories and we intend to do so both responsibly and sustainably.
To deliver on this we've set out a number of environmental and social pledges which help to focus our efforts;
you can read more about them in our Impact Report.
This is why we've partnered with Sustonica, the first global certification for holiday lets,
to support our owners to be more sustainable.
The Sustonica certification focuses on four key areas: energy conservation, water conservation,
waste reduction and promoting inclusiveness. They are on a mission to become the most widely
recognised sustainability standard for holiday rentals and a catalyst to reduce emissions of holiday
lets and influence guests to reduce their own household consumption too.
Properties that display the Sustonica badge have successfully passed the criteria,
which align with the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the Global Sustainable Tourism Council standards,
and their owner has made a commitment to look after our planet as well as you.
He promptly fixed a smoke alarm that had started to beep due to low battery. And the welcome pack , which was unexpected consisted of a loaf of bread, 6 fresh eggs, milk , chocolate biscuits and a bottle of wine. Avery nice gesture! Thank you once again.

"Thoroughly enjoyed our stay in a warm, comfortable cottage which has been carefully designed with lots of extras, in fact everything you may need."
It is in a very quiet location but within walking distance to village store and 2 public houses. Parking directly outside for 1 car. Would recommend and class the cottage as one of the cleanest and best we’ve ever stayed in.

"High quality property, which was very clean and extremely well equipped."
Storage space was good, the bed was comfy, and the bathroom was of a high standard.
The weather was not warm enough to sit out, but the small garden would have been a quiet area in which to enjoy a coffee. We had the thrill of spotting a Hoopoe, a distinctive bird with a ‘crown’ of feathers, hopping around in the driveway of the farmhouse opposite.

It was certainly well equipped, immaculately clean, and we received a lovely thoughtful welcome pack. The owners are on site if needed and were very friendly and helpful, but also left you alone to have a peaceful stay.
Numerous attractions nearby such as Bressingham Steam Museum and Gardens, Flixton Aviation Museum, The 100th Bomber Group Museum, and various Dad's Army attractions in Thetford.
Highly recommended indeed.

Such a quite area no light pollution. Jimmy's place was clean, and had all the things u could want, WiFi , 2 TVs, books , games ect if you visit here you will need to drive to most places. Lots to do here. My advice if you don't know the area is to Google map the places before you set off. As most things are at least 15-1hour drive away. Very clean area, people are very respectful in the area. If you're looking to get away from city or town life this is a ideal place. We would definitely stay again.

The property
From the humble beginnings of a cowshed on the family farm, Jimmy's Place has been transformed into a romantic retreat for two perched in the rural, Norfolk village of Pulham Market.
Owing its name to the owner's grandad who originally built the farm, Jimmy's Place is a perfect East Anglia touring base, within reach of The Broads, Great Yarmouth, Thetford Forest Park and Suffolk.
Enjoy returning to the open-plan living space after an action-packed day to relax with your other half, beginning the prep for your evening meal in the excellent fitted kitchen, amply equipped for its size, you can find all you need here to rustle up delicious dishes, with the addition of a washing machine too.
Dine at the dining table and chairs for two perched by the window, or delight in an alfresco dining experience in your own private garden with a pretty bistro set, great for the summer months!
Back inside, you can pick up a book from the shelf and get lost in another world while sinking into the sofa, or flick on the TV and watch a favourite film together for a tranquil end to the day.
Head through to the lovely bedroom when it's time to rest, finding a king-size bed amidst an array of matching furniture, including a pretty dressing table, with an adjoining en-suite shower room for you to freshen up in.
Pulham Market is regarded as one of the prettiest villages in Norfolk and is home to a picture-perfect village green surrounded by thatched cottages, a medieval church and a centuries-old alehouse, with all this just a few minutes' walk from Jimmy's Place.
The surrounding area is great for countryside walks with other popular walking spots within easy reach by car, including the famous Norfolk Broads, with opportunities for walking, cycling and even kayaking and canoeing along the waterways.
Find adventure westwards over in Thetford Forest Park where you can visit Grime's Graves Prehistoric Flint Mine, Go Ape Thetford Treetop Challenge, and High Lodge which is home to three cycling trails, four walking trails, Forest Segway and archery.
Visit the amazing World Horse Welfare Hall Farm and meet the beautiful horses taking residence here, with around 120 horses cared for at any one time, you can walk around the farm and afterwards enjoy a treat at the on-site coffee shop.
Other attractions nearby include Banham Zoo, Earsham Wetland Centre, The Norfolk Tank Museum and Camel Park Oasis.
Pay a visit to the city of Norwich to discover an array of attractions and heritage from Norwich Cathedral, Norwich Castle and Cow Tower, to the Plantation Garden and Whitlingham Country Park, alongside a fabulous selection of bars and pubs, shops and boutiques, and cafés and restaurants!
Relish a romantic retreat with your other half at Jimmy's Place in this beautiful area of Norfolk.
