Ashdene House

We visited this lovely B and B as one of our party wished to visit Dersingham as he had been an evacuee there during the 2nd World War. We phoned the delightful ladies, Annette and Gill, when we were almost there who guided us, met us in the car-park and carried our luggage up to the landing by our rooms. A few moments later we ventured downstairs into a lovely sitting room and enjoyed hot drinks and a delicious home made lemon drizzle cake. One of us had a special gluten free cake. The ladies were very helpful in trying to locate the house which our evacuee stayed in during the war. I was in room 5 which had a nice view of the garden, very comfortable twin beds, a tv, a tray of drink making facilities and a bathroom with an ensuite toilet, bath and triton shower. The towels were very luxurious. For breakfast there was juice, cafeteria coffee and tea, cereals or porridge, a full English with sausages from a local butcher, or salmon and scrambled eggs and toast made from homemade bread with homemade marmalade and jam. Everywhere was decorated with beautiful pictures on the walls and on the bedroom doors. Everything was thought of to bring comfort and enjoyment to anyone lucky enough to spend a few days in this hospitable environment.
