Property code: OC-D44228

Indulge a unique break away at this extraordinary converted horsebox set in a wildflower meadow on a glamping site on the edge of Elsing. This beautifully bespoke retreat sits in a peaceful corner of the Norfolk countryside, just 6.5 miles from the market town of Reepham. Sleeping two people in one king-size bedroom, it's perfect for couples who are searching for a cool and quirky retreat to call home while they cycle the quiet Norfolk lanes and discover the medieval city of Norwich together. Head to Dereham and hop aboard the Mid-Norfolk Railway for a journey through the peaceful countryside – it’s one of the most charming heritage railways in East Anglia. In the evening, come home to snuggle at the firepit and cook dinner over the griddle as the Norfolk stars multiply above you.

Park in the on-site car park and load your bags into the wheelbarrow provided to wheel them across the wildflower meadow to your remarkable retreat. Follow the external steps up to the elevated deck and step through the French doors into your extraordinary horsebox interior. This beautiful space has a carved ceiling and wood-clad walls that create a boho-chic cocoon-like atmosphere. A central wood burner keeps things warm on cooler evenings, and the French doors can be opened on fine days to bring the meadow inside. Whip up your favourite dishes in the kitchen area and share an intimate meal at the table. Alternatively, head outside and cook at the griddle over the firepit and then dine alfresco on the lower decking area. Afterwards, pour yourself a glass of wine and wait for the stars to come out, or head back indoors and set up the Bluetooth system to play your favourite tunes. When the day is done, retire to the king-size bed (accessed by a ladder) above the sofa. The sofa also converts into a bed for two if you have any additional guests. Just a few steps from the horsebox, you’ll find a private external shower room with walk-in shower and composting WC.

Hop on your bike and cycle from the wildflower meadow into the surrounding countryside, heading to the sleepy village of Elsing (under 1 mile) and the River Wensum beyond. Or make your way into the market town of Reepham (6.5 miles) to browse the shops and cafes in its attractive historic square. Set off on a train journey at the Mid-Norfolk Railway at Dereham (7 miles), or head into the medieval city of Norwich (16.5 miles) to explore its Romanesque cathedral and the Norman castle.
