The traditional cottage charm from the wooden beamed ceilings, rustic decor and quirky mezzanine make this property an excellent choice for a memorable Norfolk getaway with a partner or small family, plus one canine companion. Spend your evenings entertained in the games barn and during the day you can explore the surrounding countryside’s market towns and historical attractions while staying in a quiet village near the Norfolk Coast National Landscape.

Step inside the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner with a wooden beamed ceiling, wooden furnishings, neutral-toned walls and a splash of blue throughout. Natural light fills the cosy lounge, which features two comfortable leather sofas arranged around a coffee table and TV. On the other side of the room, the space is divided into a dining area with a wooden table and a U-shaped wooden kitchen with quirky colourful tiles. Also on the ground floor is a twin room and a family bathroom. Climb the wooden stairs to find a double bedroom in the eaves of the property. Outside is a private patio with a BBQ and furniture. There is also an external games barn with a snooker table, table tennis, and a pool table, which is shared with neighbouring properties.

During your getaway in the small village of Tattersett, you could visit the nearby market town of Fakenham (6 miles) for a meal out and a stroll along the River Wensum. Take Fido for a run around the Sculthorpe Moor Nature Reserve (4 miles) or visit the historic Creake Abbey Ruins (10.5 miles).

We had a fantastic time at The Old Forge. The cottage itself is lovely and cosy. The games room and library are a huge plus and we enjoyed it thoroughly. The cottage is well equipped and located in a great spot for easy access to all of North Norfolk. Special thanks to the amazing Mandie who helped us navigate a delay in our arrival thanks to unexpRead moreected health issues. I would definitely recommend the cottage and look forward to going back there. Hide

We stayed in The forge of these beautiful cottages. The area is so lovely and peaceful. The owners thought of everything that was needed for self catering. If you want to go for a meal, we recommend The Crown Inn. There is a store , not far from the cottage. We were welcomed to some lovely cakes, also some tea bags, coffee, sugar and even a pint ofRead more milk in the fridge. Which was very nice after travelling. There is a jet in the field, which was amazing to see close. Loved it all. Thanks Hide

Lovely cottage in a country setting. This cottage is ideally placed for easy access to all of the coast line from King's Lynn to Cromer. My Granddaughter and I had an exceptionally pleasant first visit to Norfolk and will definitely be back. Thankyou Anne, Evie and Kip
