A Rootin’-Tootin’ Weekend at Hanks Ranch Jailhouse!
Well now, me, my husband, and our trusty sidekick Watson the dog just spent the weekend at this here Western-themed jailhouse, and let me tell ya — it was the most fun we’ve had since the last cattle drive!
Don’t let the word “jail” fool ya — this place has all the comforts a cowboy could ask for. Cozy beds, modern amenities, and a warm, welcoming feel that makes you forget you’re supposed to be “behind bars.”
We had ourselves a blast playin’ good ol’-fashioned Western games — lassoing, horseshoe tossin’, and laughin’ ‘til the stars came out. Watson loved every minute of it, trottin’ ‘round like the sheriff’s right-hand pup.
The scenery was somethin’ to behold — wide open skies and the biggest surprise of all: a wild peacock struttin’ around like he owned the joint! Made the whole place feel like a movie set come to life.
The attention to detail was mighty impressive — props like old shotguns, jail keys, and those classic rockin’ chairs on the porch made for some fantastic photo ops. We snapped plenty out front of the church and the general store — felt like we’d stepped straight into the Old West.
All in all, this stay was a hootin’, hollerin’ good time. If you’re lookin’ for a weekend that’s part comfort, part adventure, and 100% cowboy charm, saddle up and head to this Ranch getaway. You won’t regret it — we’ll surely be back, spurs and all!

Response from the owner:Howdy Vikki,
Well, yee-haw! 🤠 What a review — we absolutely loved reading this! Thank you so much for taking the time to share your Wild West adventure with us (and for painting such a vivid picture — we felt like we were right there beside you, lasso in hand!).
We’re delighted you, your husband, and Sheriff Watson enjoyed your stay in The Jail — sounds like you really embraced the spirit of the Ranch! From tossing horseshoes to relaxing under those big Norfolk skies, that’s exactly what Hank’s Ranch is all about — slowing down, having fun, and making memories that last.
We can’t wait to welcome you all back for another round of cowboy charm (and we’re sure Pablo the peacock will be struttin’ by to greet you again!).
Until next time, keep those spurs jinglin’ and that campfire glowin’.

Just had an amazing two nights at Hanks Ranch, we stayed in the Jail which was authentic, cosy, such attention to detail, lots of special touches. It was my friends 65th Birthday so we went out all Cowgirl style, sat around the firepit in the evening chatting and just enjoying our surroundings. All of the accommodations are beautiful inside and out. We would certainly go back, thanks Hank for your hospitality and hope to see you again. 🤠
Response from the owner:Hi Carol,
What a wonderful review – thank you so much! 🤠 We’re thrilled you and your friend had such a fantastic stay (and what a brilliant way to celebrate a 65th birthday – Cowgirl style sounds perfect!).
It means the world to hear you loved The Jail and all its little details – we put a lot of heart into making each cabin feel truly authentic and special. We’re so glad you enjoyed evenings by the firepit and exploring the local gems like Oxburgh Hall too.
We’d love to welcome you all back to the Ranch anytime for another Wild West adventure!

We had a fabulous stay at Hank’s Ranch. So much thought has gone into every detail and we and our dogs were well looked after! It was peaceful and we felt fully immersed in the Western theme. So many nice touches rom the goodies left for the dogs to the chocolates in the fridge. Will definitely be visiting again.

Best wishes,
Hank & Sarah 🐾🤠
We had the most wonderful stay at Hank’s ranch. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed like old friends—with freshly baked homemade bread. The setting is beautiful and truly unique; where else would you find a friendly peacock casually strolling around to greet you?
Hank is a fantastic host, full of local knowledge and kindness, and he’s created such a personal, homely atmosphere here. The ranch itself feels both peaceful and full of character, with plenty of little touches that make it special.
We also loved the charming pub just down the road—perfect for an evening meal after a day of relaxing at the ranch.
If you’re looking for something memorable, authentic, and full of heart, Hank’s ranch is the place. We left feeling refreshed, cared for, and already looking forward to coming back!

I don’t know where to start to explain just how good a weekend we had at Hanks ranch! Both Hank and Sarah were welcoming and Hank ensured we had the best weekend and showed us how the lasso is done! The accommodation has everything you need with so many little touches to make it extra special. The outdoor space has really been thought about making it your own little paradise. Can’t wait to stay again!

Brilliant find so unique. Attention to detail is amazing. I booked all 3 cabins with friends and it was great to have the place to ourselves. Hank was so attentive and helpful. Have just booked to go again.

We booked all 3 cabins for a family birthday and had a great time.
The very comfortable beds, great showers and hot tub all mean you can fully enjoy your days and evenings living out your childhood dreams in the wild west.
Definitely a place to return.
