Escape the reality of everyday life and be transported to centuries past at this charming ground-floor apartment, set within a 19th-century, Grade II-listed hall in the idyllic village of Crimplesham. This is the ultimate romantic retreat, perfect for couples craving a taste of the picturesque Norfolk countryside.

In keeping with the timeless elegance of this prestigious hall, the wonderfully high ceiling and large picture windows in the generous lounge create a sense of space whilst the combination of rustic decor and sumptuous, soft touches give the heart of this bolthole a true warmth that beckons weary walking muscles to unwind. Flooded with plenty of sunlight, the light and bright kitchen offers everything you need to whip up a romantic feast with your local produce, whilst the country-cottage style decor perfectly reflects the hall’s rich heritage. A writing desk in the wide hallway is the perfect spot to catch up on emails should you need to during your stay. A haven of serenity, the whimsical bedroom, with its majestic, 4-poster, emperor bed will make you feel as those you’ve stepped through the pages of a historical novel. Enjoy peaceful woodland walks before discovering a tranquil lake and the ruins of a 10th-century folly in the 5 acres of shared grounds surrounding the hall.

You’ll get to know the picturesque Norfolk countryside very well in the quiet village of Crimplesham, home to a myriad of scenic tracks awaiting to be explored on foot or two wheels. Venture to the historic town of Downham Market, 3 miles away, to walk alongside the banks of the River Great Ouse before picking up some fantastic local produce at the bustling market, held on Fridays and Saturdays. Enjoy a taste of the coast at the fine sandy stretch at Hunstanton (26 miles) or explore The King's country residence at Sandringham 17 miles away, nestled in the Norfolk Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Nicky was very welcoming, the rooms are very spacious and all kitchen equipment was clean. Dish washer would have been more useful then the washing machine. The WiFi was poor therefore on the smart Tele could only receive channels 1 2 3 4. The bed was so big and comfy, the lounge was huge yet very comfortable on recliner sofa.

A fantastic place to stay, with all the home comforts. The grounds, with its lake and folly, were ideal to sit and chill on an evening following a day's exploring. Nikki looked after us very well and nothing was too much trouble.

The owner was very helpful and welcoming, the rooms were in need of a refresh with paper coming off the walls of the living room, shame really as the rooms would be impressive with a bit of T.L.C.

The apartment was lovely and spacious, it had everything we needed and more. A little bit worn in places, although the furniture and fittings were lovely. The internet was not great and of course it did effect the television too but not so much a problem as we were out all day and had a good book for the evening. A good idea to leave several books Read moreto read about and some information about the area, maybe a plan of the grounds would be a good idea too. Hide

We (and our dog) had a wonderful stay at the Lake House in Crimplesham Hall. Clean, very spacious and well-equipped cottage with the biggest bed ever! The grounds to the hall are very extensive and great for the dog. Easy to get to all the places of interest such as Sandringham, Sheringham, Holt etc. The main house, grounds, lake, folly make it anRead more amazing place to stay. Strongly recommend The Foldgate Inn which is about a 2 min drive for fantastic food. Bonus of a Tesla supercharger only 15 minutes away in just outside Kings Lynn. Hide
