A unique property, this delightful shepherd's hut on a stunning lakeside location is ideal for couples looking for a tranquil retreat. It is a perfect base from which to explore the surrounding Norfolk countryside. Whether it's spotting wildlife, walking through the woods, or angling from the decking, there are plenty of ways to enjoy the immediate area and plenty of local attractions to suit all tastes. Nearby Thetford Forest (10 miles) offers excellent walking and cycling routes.

This cosy and romantic property, with a beautifully designed interior, is open-plan, with guests stepping into the kitchen area. The kitchen is compact and has everything you need to rustle up a romantic meal to share on the decking on fine evenings with views out over the lake. A breakfast bar with stools is perfect for a chat over a morning brew as you plan the day's adventure. In the lounge area, cosy up on the comfortable single sofa chair, watch your favourite movie on the TV, and on cooler evenings, turn on the flame-effect electric fire for a snug ambience. The comfortable double bed ensures a great night's sleep. Completing this delightful shepherd's hut is a shower room with WC. The beauty of the surrounding natural environment is an invitation to spend time outside on the decking that extends out into the lake. Fire up the BBQ and enjoy a spot of al fresco dining at the outdoor table with bench seating.

Nearby Thetford (10 miles) is an ancient town, and the museum provides a fascinating look back through its history. The surrounding area, known as the Brecks, has forests, meres, and pingos. Nature lovers can enjoy exploring Knettishall Heath Nature Reserve. For the more adventurous, The Millers Trail - a 20-mile ride through the rich agricultural heritage of the area is a must.

The Kingfisher Hut was very clean and spacious just the bed was a little bit uncomfortable. Nice and warm as well, but shower needs attention very slow and runs out of hot water. The lake was lovely. Its just a shame that the water level was so low made the fishing very hard. And lovely seeing all the different birds and wildlife around the lake

We had an enjoyable 3 night stay in The Kingfisher Hut . There were plenty of fish to be caught in the lake . The walk into East Harling only took approximately 5/10 minutes where you find 2 nice pubs serving food, a coop supermarket, butchers and post office. As other people have said you can hear lots of dogs barking and the motor noise but you sRead moreeem to get used to it . Watching out for the kingfishers and other bird life makes up for it. Hide

The hut was comfortable and has everything you need. The only problem I had was the heat inside the hut on hot days. None of the windows open and I found it hard to sleep. I caught several carp during my stay.

It was fine but quite basic. Some accessories would benefit from an update. Cleanliness was an issue (dead flies and spiders on the ceiling, hair in the shower and in the sink). The bed was quite uncomfortable too.
