Property code: OC-1009

A delightful thatched cottage set in attractive countryside on the outskirts of Ludham and only 10 miles from Caister by Sea, one of the many pretty seaside villages dotted along the Norfolk Coast AONB. Surrounded by scenic waterways, the rustic cottage offers bright living areas, four spacious bedrooms and a large garden, perfect for families and groups seeking solace in the Broads National Park.

This attractively-furnished two-storey cottage has stayed true to its roots while also catering for the tastes of present-day guests. Wooden ceiling beams and frames, low thresholds and sloping ceilings surrounded warmly coloured soft furnishings, with plenty of light pouring in through large windows and doors. A characterful inglenook fireplace is a focal point of the sitting room on the ground floor, while the nearby snug is always popular with those in need of some quiet time. The kitchen/diner is a welcoming space ideal for lazy breakfasts, with longer, more indulgent meals best served in the dining room opposite. There are two bathrooms on the first floor along with four versatile bedrooms: a family room consisting of a double and a single bed; a double bedroom; and a twin bedroom leading to a second double bedroom with access to the snug via a ship’s ladder. Outside, there are ample opportunities for family games and alfresco dining in the large enclosed lawn garden with a patio area. A handy utility room stands nearby.

Ludham (within 1 mile) is an ideal pitstop for stocking up on supplies or an evening pint. Hire a boat from the village to explore Womack Water and the River Thurne, or set out along the many footpaths that take in marshes, river banks and endless fields. For days at the beach, head to Caister on Sea, Sea Palling or Horsey (10 miles).

The house was very clean and welcoming, and very easy to relax in. The only problem was that the dishwasher broke down, which can happen anywhere!

The property was ideal for our extended family: Due to the unique features of the property (two staircases, a separate bathroom in each part) all of us could meet in the large common rooms such as the kitchen and the living room. At the same time we also had some privacy in the individual "wings". We can highly recommend the cottage for families Read morewith children: The cottage catered exceptionally well for the younger ones. Our grandchildren loved the playroom, stools in the bathrooms enable smaller children to reach the washbasins easily, special cutlery and crockery for children are provided, and the staircases can be secured by gates so that nobody will fall down. The property is in a rural environment; thus it is absolutely quiet, and nobody can be disturbed by children either. Although the weather was not good enough to stay outside for a longer period of time, the garden is extremely well kept, and it is most likely a great experience to enjoy the huge garden in better weather.

We had a great week staying at this lovely cottage, full of character, cosy yet spacious in a very quiet spot. The only thing missing was recommendations for pubs, restaurants , places to visit, but thats just an observation not a complaint! We loved it !

The cottage was lovely and in a brilliant location. It had everything needed to help with young children which is a really nice added extra ! The lady who cleaned the property and the owner seemed friendly and the property was perfect for us.
