What an amazing place and hosts a must to visit 🤠🤠
My wife & I have just returned from 3 thoroughly relaxing and peaceful nights in jail at Hanks Ranch! Set in lovely countryside the attention to detail in all of the accommodation is amazing, the Jail, General Store & Church are beautifully crafted and unique.We stayed in Jail which had everything we needed, the smell of freshly baked bread greeted us, the bed was super comfy & showering under the "bucket" shower was great. There was room for my wife & I plus two dogs and welcome blankets and biscuits for the dogs were a great touch.A very relaxing place to enjoy the evening by the fire pit watching the stars away from the rest of the world.Hank was very welcoming and all the hard work he's put in to make this place special has definitely paid off.Thank for a memorable stay & we will be back!!Definitely recommend this place!! (although we also want to keep it secret so it's available when we want to return!!) 🤣

My partner and I stayed at Hanks Ranch earlier this month and it was nothing short of delightful. Nestled in a peaceful countryside setting, the accommodation truly captures the essence of the Wild West and we loved hearing the stories behind how Hanks Ranch came to be.We stayed in the charming General Store, which was cosy, warm, and thoughtfully designed with excellent attention to detail. The bed was extremely comfortable, providing a restful night's sleep after a lot of wonderful fresh country air. The veranda offered a tranquil spot to unwind and soak in the stunning surroundings - not to mention the most glorious sunsets. I just loved the decor in our accommodation - it was in keeping with the theme to an exceptionally high standard. We in particularly loved that Hanks Ranch is investing in nature by creating a woodland and ensuring there is an abundance of natural habitat for local wildlife.We were lucky enough to be able to take a look around the other accommodation on offer which are all equally as fabulous and unique.Hosts Hank and Sarah were incredibly welcoming and went above and beyond to ensure our stay was enjoyable. Upon arrival, we were greeted with delicious home-baked bread and homemade butter, a lovely touch that set the tone for our visit.Hank and Sarah also recommended a local community-run pub for a traditional roast, which was an absolute highlight, along with other fantastic eateries nearby.Overall, Hanks Ranch combines comfort, charm, and exceptional hospitality. We left feeling relaxed, refreshed and keen to return. See you next year 🤠

A Perfect Getaway with a Wild West TwistWe stayed for two nights in “The Jail,” and it was a fantastic country and western-themed experience. From the moment we arrived, Hank and Sarah, our wonderful hosts, made us feel so welcome. Their hospitality was warm and genuine, setting the tone for a relaxing stay.The accommodation itself was charming, with rustic, western-style décor that added to the fun of the stay. Waking up in the mornings to stunning countryside views and wildlife strolling by was an absolute highlight. We even had the pleasure of meeting Pablo, the resident peacock, who added an extra bit of charm to the place as he strutted around the grounds!It truly felt like a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. We can’t recommend this place enough for anyone looking for a unique and relaxing getaway. The blend of the western theme, Norfolk’s beautiful countryside, and of course, Pablo, made it an unforgettable experience. We’ll definitely be back!
Response from the owner: Thank you for your lovely review Louis we are so glad you enjoyed your stay in the Jail and found the views relaxing and peaceful. We look forward to welcoming you again soon.

Visited Hanks Ranch for an overnight stay in the authentic Wild West church. Luxurious and cosy interior with central heating. Great views accross the meadow. Dark sky so Stars even shone brightly for us. Hot croissants and homemade jam for breakfast finished the perfect break for us

Review for Hank’s Ranch: 5/5 StarsHank’s Ranch is truly a hidden gem that provides a perfect blend of comfort, charm, and thoughtful details. From the moment you arrive, you can sense the care that has gone into creating this inviting space. The hot, powerful showers are a refreshing indulgence, accompanied by high-quality shower products that leave you feeling rejuvenated. The kitchen is incredibly well-fitted and accessorised, making it a delight to lightly cook in, with every detail carefully considered.The porch offers a peaceful spot to relax and watch the birds, with the added charm of Pablo the peacock wandering by. And for evenings, the campfire is just perfect for roasting marshmallows and making memories. The beds are extraordinarily comfortable, with luxurious linens and bedding that promise a restful night’s sleep.What really makes Hank’s Ranch special, though, is Hank himself. He’s a thoughtful, imaginative host who has created a playful and unique environment where you can truly unwind and have fun. This place has everything you need for a perfect getaway, and I can’t recommend it highly enough!

Thank you for your glowing recommendation, and we hope to welcome you back for more marshmallow roasting and relaxing soon!
