Explore the Norwich and the Norfolk countryside from this modern cottage in Newton Flotman. Sleeping four guests, the two-bedroom holiday home nestles in a peaceful position, 7.5 miles from the historic city, with its myriad of shops, eateries and historic sights. The retreat has a seating area where you can enjoy morning coffee during the warmer months.
Take two steps up to wander into the south-facing property. Although the cottage is attached to the owner’s home, it benefits from great privacy. Head into the kitchen to unload your provisions and put the kettle on for a cup of tea. Here you will also find all the equipment you need to help you cater for yourselves. The ground-floor accommodation centres on a light-filled, open-plan lounge/diner, where you can open the French windows during summer stays or sink back into the comfortable seating in front of the Smart TV when it is cooler. Choose a book from the shelves to enjoy during your break. Set the dining table for all the meals you choose to enjoy at home rather than out at a gastro-pub or restaurant. The family shower room and the twin bedroom are also downstairs. Head up to the first floor to find the sumptuous king-size with its sloped ceilings. Have your first cup of tea of the day out in the fresh air of the seating area. Open a bottle of chilled wine out here on warm nights too. There is private parking for one car.
Head into Norwich to visit the famous cathedral and castle and to explore the cobbled streets of the Lanes, with their many independent shops. Visit Whitlingham Country Park, 7 miles away, which is the gateway to the Norfolk Broads. Here you can walk round the lakes and hire kayaks, canoes and paddle boards.
