Set within a quarter acre of mature gardens in the peaceful village of Upwell, this cosy cabin offers a truly magical retreat – just for the two of you. Located on the owner’s grounds yet retaining its privacy amid a small patch of wood and Victorian knot garden, it’s ideal for those who want to get away from it all and indulge their artistic side. Curl up with a book on a garden bench, bubble under the stars in the hot tub, or work on your artistic skills with some help from the owners.
Crafted from wood and laid out over a single level, this delightful abode offers a truly romantic stay. The main living space is open plan, with a sofa to snuggle on to watch TV or read a book, and a fully fitted kitchen to whip up meals for two. Dine beneath a stained glass window in the cabin, or enjoy your meal on the picnic table beneath the covered decking in the fresh country air. Spend your days strolling around the gorgeous gardens, listening to birdsong and basking in the sunshine. If you’re feeling arty, there’s a handy easel so you can capture your surroundings, while the owners offer pottery and woodturning glasses at a discounted rate for guests. In the evening, toast marshmallows in the fire pit, then sip a glass of wine in the bubbling hot tub. When it’s time for bed, head to the spacious and relaxing bedroom along the hall. A bathroom with walk-in shower completes the accommodation.
A quaint village on the Norfolk/Cambridgeshire border, Upwell has a selection of shops and restaurants and offers canoe and kayak hire so you can explore Well Creek, part of the Fenland Waterways. It’s just 9 miles to Downham Market, which has rail links to Ely (17 miles), while the magnificent moated manor house Oxburgh Hall is 19 miles away.
