Property code: OC-1277

Escape to the Norfolk countryside for a tranquil retreat in this single-storey two-bedroom lodge set on 6 acres of the owners’ grounds, with three large ponds. Enjoy relaxing evenings in the bright and homely lounge or dining alfresco on the patio after discovering the nearby English Heritage sites, forests and family attractions – or a little bit further away is the Norfolk coast.

Make yourself at home in the open-plan living space with warm neutral tones and plenty of natural light streaming in through the French doors. The ‘L’-shaped kitchen has shaker-style cabinets and plenty of space for some home cooking. Dine together at the round wooden table with chairs in the evening before sinking into the cushioned sofa and armchair in front of the TV. There is also a convenient utility room, a family wet room, and two bedrooms – a double and a single with a 4ft bed. Outside is a patio with furniture overlooking the 6 acres of land which you can explore.

During your stay in the picturesque village of Old Buckenham, you’ll have a small shop, a couple of pubs, and one of the largest village greens in Britain, spanning 40 acres, on your doorstep (within 1.5 miles). Explore the surrounding traditional Norfolk market towns – like Attleborough (2.5 miles) and Wymondham (8.5 miles). Take a picnic to Thetford Forest (11 miles) and follow the walking trails through the trees or test your archery skills. Further afield you can find the beaches of Southwold (35.5 miles) and Kessingland (38 miles).

A comfortable cottage in a good location for local amenities and easy access to Snetterton race circuit. The bedrooms were both a decent size and the grounds in which the cottage is situated are lovely. We really enjoyed our stay and would recommend this location to others.

This is the third time we have stayed at Oak Tree Cottage and again, it did not disappoint. It is a lovely location within a 6 acre garden, very central within the county of Norfolk. The owners are very helpful and go out of their way to ensure that your stay is as pleasant as possible.

This cottage is delightful, very comfortable and a TV that you can actually see, not a small one that we've had many times before. The owners are lovely and very hard working. Everything has been thought through in great detail and there is nothing cheap about the fixtures and fittings. Everything is good quality including towels and bedding. The wRead moreifi was great, the whole place is perfect. We have been having self catering holidays for over 40 years and this is probably the best. We would highly recommend this cottage, and the Marstons pub The Thatchers Needle in Diss. Hide

It is a lovely place to stay. The hosts were very welcoming and went the extra mile to make sure we had a nice stay. The garden is beautiful with lots of different aspects. A family of ducks walking around each day made it extra special. We will definitely be back.
