Property code: OC-2370

Set in a quiet spot on the outskirts of the peaceful village of Thursford and surrounded by a large, enclosed garden with plenty of space for the whole family and four-legged friends, escape to this beautifully presented retreat to uncover everything from the countryside to the fabulous coastline this part of North Norfolk is famous for.

After a long day’s adventure, warm chilly toes and paws beside the living flame gas fire in the south-facing lounge before unwinding weary walking muscles on the comfortable sofas. As the evening draws in, head into the contemporary kitchen/diner to get creative with your local produce and make special family memories seated around the dining table. When you can’t resist the call of bedtime, head upstairs to enjoy a soak in the bath in the family bathroom before retiring to any of the three wonderfully presented, light and bright bedrooms that feature characterful sloping ceilings and Velux windows. Admire peaceful views of four-legged friends exploring the enclosed wraparound lawn and children playing on the child’s swing as you dine alfresco on the covered veranda and roast marshmallows on the BBQ.

It’s easy to find peace and tranquillity in the rural village of Thursford, perfectly placed to explore the National Cycle Network and wonderful independent shops at Fakenham (7 miles), the largest market town in Norfolk, and the quaint Georgian architecture and local produce at Holt 7.5 miles away. Lying in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, discover the glorious sandy beach alive with a plethora of wildlife habitats at Wells-next-the-Sea 9.5 miles away. Take a scenic walk through Thursford Wood 2 miles away or head to the eclectic Thursford Collection less than half a mile away, a working museum showcasing mechanical organs, Wurlitzer shows, silent movies, old-fashioned fairground carousels and displays of fairground engines.

We found Shuttleworth Lodge comfortable, clean and wonderfully warm in the early Autumn. The rural location was lovely -peaceful and with a large grassed garden which was perfect for our dog. It was a good base for exploring this part of north Norfolk.

We had a wonderful 10 nights at Shuttleworth Lodge. So very peaceful and quiet which is what we were both looking for. Everything you would need was in the lodge i.e. cutlery, cups, etc etc. Lovely welcome pack - much appreciated. So lovely on an evening to sit outside with a glass of wine and all you can hear are the birds and the woodpecker Read morehammering away. Would definitely recommend and we hope to come back again and again. Hide
