Perched on the brink of the North Broads, the village of Dilham (1 mile) is surrounded by beautiful countryside in a quiet and tranquil setting and is the perfect starting point for an endless array of Norfolk activities. 5 miles from the nearest beach the area offers a selection of beautiful coastal villages and beaches. Rent a boat or set off on foot to discover some of the incredible 125 miles of waterways this fascinating pocket of the world presents. A day trip to pretty Wroxham (7 miles) or the market town of Aylsham (10 miles) provides an enjoyable afternoon – you may even wish to take the Bure Valley Railway between the two spots. If visiting local towns and cities is your thing, then be sure to spend some time in Norwich (14.5 miles), or if you prefer a more remote excursion, head to Horsey Gap (12.5 miles) for a wander along the seafront and the chance to spot some seals. Nearby are fantastic eateries including the famous Gunton Arms and Suffield Arms which are destination gastro pubs (both are dog friendly).
Complete with antique furniture and modern art pieces, this holiday home really does offer the wow factor from the moment you step inside. Stop off in the boot room on arrival and leave coats and shoes behind. From here, continue through into the lounge which can also be found on the ground floor. This snug-style space is complete with further comfy seating and a wood burner, the perfect spot for appreciating a late-night tipple. Whilst the dining room and kitchen are laid out as two separate rooms, double doors separate these spaces and make serving up meals an effortless feat. The library-style dining room is an impressive space with overflowing bookcases, a feature fireplace and a centrepiece table that's ready to host all of your special meals.
