Set in Saham Hills in Norfolk, this handsome cottage is rich in history and character, and the shared hot tub adds an extra treat for couples who want to spend their days outdoors and return to slow, easy evenings. While staying in this delightful village, head out on adventures to Thetford Forest (7 miles) to spot deer, monk jacks, red kites, herons and several historic sites, including ruins of a medieval castle. Nature reserves are dotted all around this special part of Norfolk, with Foxley Wood, Weeting Heath and RSPB Lakenheath Fen all within 20 miles. There’s a local golf course within 2 miles, then you can potter into Mattishall for a coffee stop and a look around the local shops. Round off your energetic days with a meal at the traditional pub, which is just 2 miles from the cottage.
Arrive at this one-bedroom period property and enter via a stable door to the kitchen which leads to open-plan Lounge/diner, which is thoughtfully decorated in a traditional style. Boasting towering oak beams, a rustic fireplace and homely decor, this is a truly cosy room to snuggle up in. Gather in front of the TV, kick back on the padded sofas, and start the Smoke-effect electric wood burner. The kitchen is fitted with everything you need to cook up a banquet, including an electric oven and a gas hob. Sit at the table and enjoy a meal together after a busy day. Once bedtime calls, you can head upstairs and slip into the super-king-size bed, where the vaulted ceiling and stacks of light are sure to enchant you. Use the en-suite bathroom up here to refresh.
Outside the holiday home is a well-appointed enclosed patio with dining furniture and a BBQ, ideal for al fresco dining. There is shared use of a hot tub, the lawns and a paddock. There’s also a utility room available for guests. This cosy bolthole also has private parking for two cars.
