  An incredible place, even as a solo traveller!I absolutely loved my stay at The Pheasant, I have been daydreaming about it since I left! I stayed for two nights as a solo traveller on a delightfully sunny February weekend.The accommodation itself was very cosy, the bedding was incredibly soft and comfortable and it was a battle with myself to get up and out so as not to waste the day away in it! I am a keen birdwatcher and was delighted by the number of birds on the property alone, Great Tits, Blue Tits, Linnets, Green Finches, to name a few. I even heard a Great Spotted Woodpecker drumming nearby. Sadly didn't catch any hoots of owls come nightfall, but I was blessed by an uninterrupted view of the stars, and some planets too! It gets completely dark out and thanks to the nearby observatory is a protected dark sky, so stargazers will be thrilled.The facilities (bathroom, cooking, and cleaning) were plentiful, and I wasn't left wanting for anything. The handheld vacuum under the sink came in very handy, too. I paid extra for the hot tub and was very glad for it. It takes a little while to warm up, and I hadn't fed it enough wood (but Julie was incredibly helpful over text when I asked for help). It stayed warm over night and was still usable the next morning. I also used the chiminea. There is a very affectionate cat, Brian, who visited, and we hung out on the deck owing to his ban from the hut. He's very playful and will happily hunt a stick for you.The local area was lovely for both long and short walks, with some horse traffic. The area is quite agriculture-heavy and there are some larger farms within a 20-minute walk radius so keep an eye out for machinery on the roads. The local village of Great Ellingham is very pretty, and I ate lunch at The Crown which has some good vegetarian options. Do also pop into the medieval church nearby to see some original paintings.The hut was warm and the Alexa was very useful for music and was easily heard from the deck.I don't drive and got a taxi from the centre of Norwich for £28.50 each way. The location was easy to find and well signposted, and the directions in the visitor pack and confirmation email were clear and easy to follow. Walking to local amenities wasn't a problem especially with the sunny weather.Overall, I would highly recommend The Pheasant to anyone who's considering it. It might have been a bit of a squeeze for a couple, but certainly not uncomfortably so. Do also spend the extra money to have the hot tub access, it was very dreamy under the stars. I am very much considering coming back!

  Julie was an amazing host, meeting us on arrival to explain where everything was and we loved the flap Jack's she'd left to welcome us. The hut comes complete with everything you could need for the weekend. The bed is very comfortable,the shower has good water pressure and you are well stocked for toiletries! The guide book had all the info you could ask for and more and the laminated walking guides to explore the local area were a brilliant idea. As we'd called ahead the hot tub was ready on our arrival and what a treat it was! We topped the fire up later in the evening and the water was still warm enough for a quick morning dip the next day! There is more than enough wood for both the hot tub and the fire, both of which we enjoyed. The location is secluded and while you are in Julie's garden, we didn't see her after we'd been greeted, meaning we had a peaceful private weekend to relax and unwind. Thoroughly recommend!

  Booked ‘The Den’ last minute for a relaxing xmas getaway.

  The property had everything we needed and very well stocked; upon arrival we met with the friendly host Carl of whom showed us around the property and ensured we had full knowledge of the utilities and how they should be used. Also provided was a complimentary bottle of prosecco which was enjoyed whilst we spent our evening in the hot tub and a small pint of milk. The property was very clean, nice and warm, which was a bonus due to the cold weather at the time. The bed was comfortable and a very decent size, which ensured we were able to have a lovely night sleep, the only downfall being the noise coming from the pipes in the bedroom which had a trio of tones during random times of the night and at times quite disturbing; however this can easily be amended . Overall we have had a lovely weekend and would definitely return to the property.

  We visited here in March for our wedding anniversary, not done glamping before but would definitely do it again after having a wonderful couple of days here. We spent the days walking & the nights in the hot tub looking out over the Yorkshire countryside & the twinkly lights on the horizon. The accommodation is very nice, loved having the robes to lounge about in & although it was gorgeous in the day the nights were cold but the underfloor heating made everything feel so cosy. The bed was so comfortable. Paula was a great host mixing just the best amount of genuine hospitality with letting us enjoy the solitude of our break together. Meeting the family dogs was the icing on the cake. We'd definitely recommend & have already been singing the praises of The Pheasant Roost to family & friends. Thankyou Paula & Tim for a brilliant break.

  Me and my partner went to stay at the Den just before Xmas weekend.

  We only booked the trip in the morning and Karl was very accommodating towards this. We reached there at 10.30pm and was worried how cold it would be. We were surprised to get there as the rooms were very warm and cosy and everything was spot on. The rooms were very clean and immaculate and Karl ensured we had everything for out stay. A milk gallon was in fridge with essentials like coffee, tea, sugar etc. All the facilities were amazing and the hot tub was simply the highlight of the trip. We enjoyed it soo much and have recommended to all friends and family. On Xmas Eve, we got a lovely gift from Karl to keep us going. Absolutely amazing place to stay and would definitely recommend the Den. Thank you Karl for being an amazing host ☺️
