Explore the beautiful grounds of a 16th-century Norfolk manor house from this delightful cottage. Sleeping four guests, the enticing, two-bedroom retreat has its own private patio but also nestles in impressive, shared gardens, with hedges, a parterre, orchard and croquet lawn. Situated at Swafield, 2.5 miles from the market town of North Walsham, the cottage is 3 miles from the beach at Mundesley, where you can pick up the Norfolk Coast Path and Peddars Way.
Open the front door to the cottage and wander into accommodation with a stylish, tasteful finish. The large, double-height lounge, with its galleried landing above, makes a superb place to relax together after your exciting Norfolk excursions. Gather in here to discuss your day, watch the Smart TV or play a lively holiday game together. The kitchen/diner has a chic finish and is equipped with all the appliances and accessories you need to cook for your party. Dine at the table then linger over a cup of fresh coffee from the machine. One of your bedrooms, a lovely king-size, with an en-suite shower room, is also downstairs. Make your way up to the first floor to find your second bedroom, a bright twin, with a vaulted ceiling and another en-suite shower room. Have breakfast out on the patio on fine summer mornings before heading off for a stroll around the four-acre grounds. Admire the Arabian rose garden and supervise any children near the pond. There is private parking here for one car.
Make your way up to the coast at Cromer, 10 miles away, to see a show in the famous theatre at the end of the pier or to potter in the shops or dine out. The National Trust’s impressive Jacobean mansion at Blickling Hall, 11 miles away, is also well worth a visit.
