About this property

Peaceful, cosy log cabin, Norfolk Broads village

Welcome to “Pottles Retreat”, our latest addition to our successful self catering holiday accommodation!
Tucked away in a private and tranquil spot in our large garden, it overlooks fields. The cabin has its own raised patio area and a secure fenced private part of the garden accessed via a gate for sitting, reading or sunbathing. Patio table with chairs provided.
The rest of the garden is in 1/2 an acre of well tended gardens and large lawn. With open countryside views all around. It’s marvellous for viewing the abundance of wildlife we are privileged to see here.
The cosy log cabin is well insulated and heated for all year round use. It is open plan, but the bedroom can be sectioned off with the curtain if required. There is a well equipped kitchen area with counter top oven/ hob, kettle, toaster and fridge.
The contemporary bathroom has a shower cabin, electric heated towel radiator, vanity unit with basin and toilet.
There is a futon in the living area. A breakfast bar with stools which looks out over fields. Lots of wildlife to be observed from here as well as through the French doors.
There is a smart TV and Wi-Fi.

Joy was lovely and helpful. The cabin was nice and secluded, so you had your privacy and a closed off area for our dog. We didn’t need to bring food as there were 2 riverside pubs within walking distance and the closest one was open every day and also did breakfast. The weather was gorgeous and we enjoyed Gorleston beach and a day out in Norwich which is worth going to. There is a Portuguese patisserie nearby which does coffee and gorgeous cakes. We had a Portuguese breakfast which made a change from the usual fry. We had a fabulous 3 night stay.

Cabin in the woods

Nice little spot. Secluded but not hard to find. Joy, the owner, was very helpful and communicative, before, during and after our stay. The cabin is very small but was fine for our two night stay. Everything you need is there.

Lovely quiet retreat

We just got back from staying here for 6 nights. It's very pleasant, but a bit small for a couple. Would probably more suit a single person looking for a quiet retreat. The owners are lovely and can't do enough for you. Only gripe? No welcome pack on arrival and nearest supermarket is about 40 min drive. Other than that, 5 stars all round!

Thank you for the feedback which we value, having double checked the distance to the nearest large Tesco, it is in fact 15 minutes. There is also a well stocked shop in the next village Rockland St Mary which is only 7 minutes by car. Also a farm shop in our village for the usual essentials. We don’t offer a welcome pack as people often have different requirements such as dietary intolerances, but if guests message me prior to their arrival and would like me to get them some basics in then I’m more than happy to.
