Louise and I want to thank everyone for a wonderful Christmas and New
Year. We had a lovely time cooking Christmas dinner for you and we
hope to welcome more of you next year. The Stables is already fully
booked for New Year 2010/11 so if anyone is thinking about the 18 bed
group hostel you might want to get in there quick!
Thoughts of beaches, warm weather, and a sunny summer are keeping us
going through the freezing snow and ice that has besieged us since
before Christmas. Our Yurt is fully booked for August
bank holiday already! We are expecting the second Yurt on site
in February, so if you are thinking about a get away this summer, try
something a little different on the North Norfolk Coast. Early booking is recommended for all
types of accommodation at Deepdale during all peak periods to avoid
disappointment.
If you are looking to get away for some fantastic walking or other
winter activities, we have some wonderful accommodation available at
Deepdale, and don’t
forget our dog friendly room and Tipi is available all year round
so you can bring your best friend with you whenever you come!

Dalegate Market
News
Since our last newsletter there
have been quite a few changes at Dalegate Market. In early
December, Julie opened her jewellery and accessories shop, called
Relish. Last week, Oliver, Rebecca and Paul took over
Deepdale
Cafe. In March, the shop at the rear of the site will become an
artists studio. So now you have even more excuses to visit and
get a little retail therapy. I'm sure all the new and
established businesses look forward to welcoming you.
Norwich Backpackers Hostel
Alister and Jason have almost
completed the purchase of a building in Norwich to open another
backpackers hostel there. There will be many link ups with
Deepdale, including possibly a minibus service between the two.
We'll let you know how things develop or visit the Norwich Backpackers
Hostel website.
