Enjoying a secluded location at the heart of rural Norfolk, this traditional flint farm building has been beautifully converted to make a cosy holiday retreat. With ample space for up to two guests, the property features timber beams and a stable-style front door, with chic interiors providing a relaxing atmosphere. Perfect for couples and solo travellers discovering the region’s nature reserves, woodlands and picturesque villages, and within easy reach of the famous Snetterton Circuit, this pretty hideaway is part of a delightful small complex of three properties which can be booked together by larger groups.

This cheerful bolthole features a welcoming open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner with characterful wooden beams set in the high vaulted ceiling. With comfortable seating, the lounge is a perfect space to sit back in front of the Smart TV to watch a favourite movie after a great day out. The central dining table is ideal for sharing a romantic meal for two which you can rustle up in the sleek and fully equipped kitchen to the rear of the room. Exploring further, there’s a refreshing bathroom and a charming bedroom with a double bed and a handy built-in wardrobe. Immediately outside, there’s a small patio area with outdoor furniture, screened off from the neighbouring properties and providing a delightful spot for a morning coffee. The three properties share a large courtyard with a water feature and tranquil views over the surrounding farmland.

Located in the Brecks, the cottage is surrounded by farm and woodlands, with miles of walks and bike routes to uncover. Close to pretty villages including Eccles and Quidenham, the property is just a couple of miles from the popular Snetterton Circuit, while eager walkers can dive into the beautiful Harling Woods, and nature lovers can visit the popular Banham Zoological Gardens, all within 5 miles.

A well-equipped cosy cottage perfect for two. In the middle of the farm, so business carries on as usual. Well- placed for excursions to all points. Local garage store stocks most necessaries.

The dairy is lovely but a bit tiny and the sun sets and bird song was lovely, its well equipped and has everything you need for a short stay.

Overall the stay was very comfortable. The property doesnt have many windows, although the pictures are accurate I didnt realise how closed in it would feel. Would have been nice to at least have a window on the back wall of the kitchen. Additionally wifi was very poor, we could barely watch anything on the smart tv. This got a little frustrating aRead mores the weather wasnt great while we stayed so would have liked to have enjoyed a few films indoors. The property was clean and well equipped, kitchen area is small for two but you can make it work. I would still recommend to others for a short stay in Norfolk. Hide
