An exquisite glamping retreat, this delightful shepherd’s hut nestles within 18 acres of picturesque Norfolk countryside. Sleeping two guests, the one-bedroom hideaway overlooks a lake near Stow Bedon, 4 miles from the market town of Watton and 7 miles from Attleborough. Head out to discover beautiful Breckland. Follow the famous Pingo Trail right from your hideaway; this is a flat 8-mile walk that takes you past the country’s highest concentration of shallow Ice Age ponds, known as pingos. Venture 2 miles to Thetford Forest Park, with its scenic walks. Grimes Graves, 14 miles away, where you can descend nine meters below ground into Britain’s only open Neolithic flint mine, is well worth a visit if you are fascinated by the past. Plan a trip to the city of Norwich, 22 miles away, to see its historic castle and cathedral, explore its shopping areas and choose between its array of eateries.

Feel the cares of the world lift from your shoulders as you arrive at this magical and romantic shepherd’s hut. Immerse yourselves in nature and experience a complete digital detox, as you gaze out across the countryside and towards the lake. Take five wooden steps up from your private outside seating area to find yourselves in the inviting, open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner/bedroom space of the abode. Tastefully decorated and creatively finished to ensure complete comfort and relaxation throughout your stay, the inviting hideaway has underfloor heating to keep you toasty and warm whatever the season. The kitchenette, with its rings, microwave and toaster, has been designed to ensure you can prepare light meals and snacks with ease and there is a breakfast bar where you can sit down to eat together and take in the glorious scenery. The bedroom space has also been cleverly arranged, with ample storage for your holiday wear and a king-size bed that promises a superb night’s sleep. The shepherd’s hut also encompasses a shower room and WC for your convenience.

Savour the opportunities for indoor/outdoor living provided by the enchanting hideaway. Sit out under the stars, grill supper on the BBQ and warm yourselves beside the roaring firepit. Guests can enjoy the lake for rowing and are welcome to explore the magnificent, 18-acre estate. There is off-road parking for two cars beside the hut.

We had a fantastic stay at Honeypot Hut. As soon as we pulled into the estate we were amazed at the beauty of this hidden "nature reserve". The quaint Tardis-like hut had everything we needed and more. There is a well equipped kitchen where you can easily prepare light meals and snacks. The bathroom is surprisingly roomy with a lovely shower and pRead morelenty of hot water; and the bed is really big and comfy and pretty much guarantees a great night's sleep. As well as this we had access to a woodland walk and lakeside views where we could immerse ourselves in nature. Watching the ducks and geese, the heron, the deer that appear at dusk. Even feeding the giant fish that come to the surface when you throw their feed in. There is so much to wonder at. It is also an ideal spot for star-gazing when the sun goes down. We were overwhelmed by the passion and generosity that Lynne and Martin showed, making us feel so very welcome and offering advice on what we could do in the surrounding area. This place is truly worth a visit and is located only about an hour from the coast. So it is a good base to explore what Norfolk has to offer. Or somewhere to take a breather from the day to day and literally watch the world go by. We stayed for four nights in total. But wish it could have been longer. Hide

An Absolutely Magical Escape Highly Recommended! We had an amazing, tranquil stay and only wish we could have stayed longer than just one night! The accommodation is spot-on with attention to detailthoughtfully equipped with everything you could possibly need, including some sweet essential bits to get you settled in. Honestly, you don't need toRead more bring a thing except your appreciation for the magical view. You don't even need to leave the groundsbetween the peaceful lake and the surrounding woods, the scenery is absolutely stunning. We loved immersing ourselves in nature, watching the local wildlife (we even got to feed some!), and spotting deer and squirrels right by the water. If you do want to head out, theres a great pub nearby serving delicious food, as well as a supermarket just a short drive away in the next village for any extra bits. Above all, Lynne and Martin were THE BEST hosts! They are wonderfully warm, welcoming, and instantly make you feel right at home. We cannot recommend this place highly enough and cant wait to come back for a longer stay! Hide
