Property code: OC-H33634

Soak in the wood-fired hot tub or wallow in the outdoor bath when you book this special shepherd’s hut in scenic Norfolk surroundings. Tucked away on a site with 32 picturesque acres to explore, the one-bedroom hideaway, which sleeps just two guests, is perfect for that romantic getaway you are planning with your loved one. Situated 1 mile from Thompson and 10.5 miles from Thetford, the location is idyllic for those who enjoy immersing themselves in the great outdoors. There are also many shared on-site facilities, including a bistro and outdoor pamper area, with a natural swimming pond, sauna, hot tub and cold plunge.

Take two steps up and onto the covered veranda, where your double-ended outdoor bath is located and there is plenty of seating for outdoor relaxation. Step up again to enter the main accommodation, which has been designed to offer comfortable, open-plan living. Within this compact, yet creatively finished lounge/kitchen/bedroom, you can cook delicious light treats for each other, cuddle up beside the wood burner and recline on the king-size bed in front of a good movie on the wall-hung TV. There is also a shower room where you can enjoy a steaming rinse. Sizzle supper out in the outdoor kitchen instead, whenever you choose, or grill local produce on the BBQ. Soak in the bath or hot tub or wander over to the shared facilities, where there is also a sauna. Guests enjoy on-site parking.

Keen walkers will be eager to follow a section of the Peddars Way, which runs nearby, following the route of an old Roman road all the way to the North Norfolk coast. For a gentler jaunt, stroll 1 mile to scenic Thompson Water and Common. Here you can also head out along the Pingo Trail, which passes unusual ice age ponds.

The cottage we loved quiet and peaceful and had a tranquil feeling about it My only concern was the plug socket where the kettle was sparked a little if not in correctly
