This stylish cottage set in the heart of the pretty village of Castle Acre is perfect for couples or friends looking for a peaceful holiday in Norfolk. Historic Castle Acre takes its name from the walled castle built by the Normans. Explore the Castle ruins, Cluniac Priory, and the parish church of St James the Great, all within walking distance of the cottage. A popular walk from the village is the Castle Acre circular walk which takes you along the River Nar and quiet woodland paths to the village of West Acre.

This characterful two-storey end-of-terrace property with exposed timber beams and elegant furnishing has a welcoming and relaxing ambience. Downstairs the rooms are light and airy and flooded with natural light. The living room is perfect for unwinding with comfortable seating, a wood burner for chilly evenings and a Smart TV to watch your favourite films. The kitchen has all the appliances to rustle up some delicious meals. Relax in the garden room where you can spend time chatting, watching the Smart TV, or lingering over meals at the dining table. From the garden room, French patio doors lead out to the garden. Upstairs are a family bathroom and two king-size bedrooms - one with a Smart TV. Outside you’ll find a patio area with garden furniture and BBQ.

Head to Wells-next-the-Sea for a traditional day at the seaside or to Snettisham Beach, both less than 20 miles away, to enjoy the beach, walks along the coastal path, and the wildlife at Snettisham Reserve. At Swaffham (4 miles), the River Nar meets the ancient Peddars Way, a popular route with walkers. Sandringham House is just 14 miles away, where you can tour the majestic house or visit the royal gardens with woodland walks and an adventure playground.

This is one of the best cottages we have ever stayed in. The owners had thought of everything. Had a couple of warm evenings, so were able to make use of the courtyard garden.

One of the best cottages we've stayed in - clean, comfortable, quiet and well equipped. We cycled to the cottage and so appreciated the excellent local shop and the very generous provision of kitchen supplies (oils, herbs etc) and welcome basket. Very convenient location in a lovely village with good cycling and walking.

Wonderful beautiful cottage. Stunning decor and lighting. The owners have clearly spent lots of time there themselves and have been extremely generous with the amenities.

We loved this cottage...it has been refurbished to a very high standard and was welcoming and utterly charming...quite the best we have stayed in. The extra touches, thoughtfully provided by the owners, were extremely generous and added luxury to our stay. The village location and facilities were also excellent.
