Introduction
The Manna is a log cabin that overlooks the lake in the grounds of Ruston House. It was originally conceived as simple venue for day retreats but, to make the cabin suitable for as wide a range of uses as possible, the plan developed so it would be possible for it to be let as a venue for those who wished to have a short "off-grid" break at what many would consider to be an idyllic site on the fringes of the Norfolk Broads National Park.
Development ceased when Ruston House was put on the market and the agent advised allowing any purchaser to finish the cabin to suit their needs. Currently, there is no kitchen or toilet installed and water would need to be carried to the site. As with other sections of the site it is recommended that you visit the What's New page where you can find how subscribe to our newsletter.

25 October 2023 - Grass Is Growing On Path
We'd had a spell of especially wet weather, with the neighbour's field largely under water. The photos in this report come from a collection taken the same day that show how wet things were, hence the introductory picture of the Manna as I approached it is included. Around the back of the cabin the grass has been growing well considering that it gets no direct sun light, although there is a line which lacks grass which is where the rain runs off the cabin roof. A gutter and down pipe has been considered, but is unlikely to be added.
