The surrounding countryside is ideal for nature lovers, anglers, painters, and walkers. Lace-up your boots and head 6 miles to walk the picturesque How Hill Nature Reserve.

Outside, you can enjoy the large, enclosed garden with a patio area; relax on the garden furniture, fire up the charcoal BBQ, and unwind while dining al fresco on balmy evenings.

The scenic coastline is less than 15 miles away and invites you to spend days exploring the unspoiled, sandy beaches and enjoying water sports. Horsey Gap is where to see seals, Hemsby Beach has miles of golden sand, and Happisburgh boasts an iconic red and white striped lighthouse.

Great, cosy little cottage with super secure garden which is very important if, like us, you have a pair of determined little escape artists! Very convenient for visiting the Broads, Norwich and towns and beaches on north/northeast coast.

The cottage is beautiful, set in a very peaceful location & not too far from local amenities & the coast. If youre looking for peace & quiet & hear the sound of nature this is the perfect retreat. The large garden was great for the dogs who spent all their time exploring.

A comfortable and cosy cottage in a very quiet location, the enclosed garden very handy for our dogs. The location is great for exploring Norfolk with broads and coast nice and close. Although well equipped, some of the pans are well past their best and a few things in the cottage are looking a bit tired. Internet is slow to unusable at times. SayiRead moreng that, we had great September weather, loved the garden and peaceful location, and had a relaxing and enjoyable stay at Gingerbread Cottage. Hide

A very clean and comfortable cottage with an amazing enclosed garden. Our dog loved playing in it and we enjoyed listening to the cuckoo and numerous other birds. The estate management was very kind, friendly and helpful providing us with lots of information about the area. A beautiful estate. A great base for exploring the area.

A lovely cottage in a remote location but still only minutes away from Wroxham and Horning. The garden was perfect for our two shepherds. The dogs aren't allowed upstairs so we had to give up the spacey 1st floor bedroom to our son, whilst we had the ground floor bedroom. Kitchen adequately equipped for home cooking which suited us well. Wi-Fi was Read moreok. A few times in the day it dropped out but this didnt affect anything. Overall, this is a lovely cottage to escape to with fantastic grounds Hide
