Nestled on the outskirts of The Broads National Park, this contemporary barn conversion masterfully combines elements of old and new to create a wonderful space for couples or a family to come and enjoy its light-filled living space and sumptuous private hot tub.

This is a home full of character, with vaulted ceilings, exposed beams and feature brick walls. The open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner is stylishly designed, accentuated by its lofty ceilings and tasteful furnishings. This generous space lends itself to entertaining, featuring a well-equipped kitchen where underfloor heating ensures a warm and inviting atmosphere regardless of the season. Gather around the wooden dining table for culinary delights before unwinding on the plush corner sofa, enjoying a relaxed evening in front of the TV/DVD. At the end of the day, the bedrooms tempt you in for a restful night's sleep. Choose between the beautiful king-size room, boasting a TV and an en-suite shower room, or the inviting super king-size zip-and-link room, which also has a TV, and can be transformed into a twin upon request. Completing the accommodation is an elegant bathroom. Outside, a fully enclosed courtyard garden awaits, providing a delightful space to bask in the sunshine. Fire up the BBQ and relish al fresco dining at the patio's table and chairs before indulging in the ultimate relaxation experience in your private hot tub.

The village is blessed by the serene River Yare meandering nearby, with many scenic walking trails in the surrounding area. For an immersive experience, embark on a section of the Wherryman's Way, a long-distance route that traverses the captivating landscapes of The Broads, leading to the coastal gem of Great Yarmouth, 25 miles away. Great Yarmouth exudes quintessential British seaside charm with its beach, lively arcades, and fun-filled attractions. Indulge in a traditional feast of fish and chips on the golden sands, followed by a delectable ice cream. Alternatively, venture into Norwich (9 miles) for a day of retail therapy, exploring the city's vibrant open-air markets.

We loved our stay at the Old Cart Lodge. The accommodation is gorgeous inside and out and suited our family or two adults, two teens and our dog perfectly. The outdoor space was particular important for our dog and was completely secure for him to safely roam around. Our stay was comfortable and cosy, the welcome treats for both us and our dog wereRead more a lovely touch and we all enjoyed the hot tub too. Well situated to the coast, getting the park and ride into Norwich and we would highly recommend a walk at Whitlingham Country Park, the cafe there is lovely too! A great stay and we would definately like to book a return visit at some point too. Communication with the owner was great and she was happy to answer any questions we had. Hide

We stayed for three nights and had a wonderful time. The cabin was beautiful, and so spacious - even bigger and better than it looks from the photos. It had everything we needed for our stay. Paying more for the hot tub was a bonus and well worth it. It was a great size and we went in it each night under the fairy lights. We would love to come backRead more in the summer. Communication from the host was great, and check in and check out was an easy process. I would highly recommend and we are already looking to come back. Hide
