This delightful cottage, set in the owner's estate, is perfect for couples, friends, or small families looking for a peaceful base to discover the best of North Norfolk's attractions. 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. Wroxham is less than a mile away and is the gateway to 125 miles of waterways that make up the Norfolk Broads.

The beautiful cottage interior belies the traditional style of the lovely, thatched roof. Step into a spacious, bright, and chic open-plan kitchen/diner equipped with all the appliances needed to prepare everything from a late branch to a hearty evening meal. A glass-top table provides the perfect spot for dining together. The cosy lounge with a crackling wood burner offers comfortable surroundings to relax in after a day of exploring; chat or sit back and enjoy a movie on the Smart TV.

Outside, you can enjoy the large, enclosed garden with a patio area; relax on the garden furniture, fire up the 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.

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

Gingerbread is in a lovely setting, quiet with a perfect garden for our 2 dogs. The cottage was cosy and comfortable. We had a very relaxing holiday. A big bonus was listening to the birdsong and hearing a bittern booming. Will definitely be returning to Gingerbread cottage again.

Great cottage: spacious and comfortable! Very quiet location with a big garden! Great if you have your dog with you on holiday. Sleeps 4, but really gives you the living space for 4! Only minus: no workable wifi/internet! Bring your own mobile wifi solution with you, e.g. EE or Vodafone, these providers have mobile coverage at this location.

Wonderful cottage in idyllic location. Stephen was a great help and went above and beyond to help set the cottage up for my proposal to my now fiance (she said yes!). Walkable onto wroxham and many great areas around that the dog loved including the fenced off garden area where she was able to run around for hours.

And of course further afield Happisburgh with interesting tombs of whipwrecked sailors. We had a great week in January found the cottage ideal for a winter break.
