Travel cot.. Tucked away down a country lane in the heart of Broadland, and enjoying glorious views across open fields, a range of handsome barns has been tastefully converted to create the attractive cluster of cottages we offer here. Some nestle under their traditional Norfolk thatch, all are very comfortably appointed and each enjoys its own individual patio. From the cottages, a gentle and tranquil rural landscape dotted with ancient churches, wind pumps and nature reserves, among a myriad other delights all under vast, arching East Anglian skies, offers a wealth of opportunity for enjoying walking, cycling and bird watching. Nearby How Hill nature reserve, with its marsh meadows, dykes, woodland and open water, is well worth exploring and the wider surrounding area supports a host of attractions. Riverside pubs and cafés are plentiful and a number of Broadland centres offer bike hire or canoe hire (possibly the most delightful way to discover the lovely reed lined waterways and their abundant wildlife) and visitors can also hire boats at nearby Potter Heigham, 4 miles, or take a pleasure cruise from bustling Wroxham – the capital of the Broads and home to the ‘world’s largest village store’ as well as the train station for the Bure Valley narrow gauge steam railway. Close by, Bewilderwood, a magical tree top park, promises children a day to remember, and lovely dune backed sandy beaches are a short drive – Sea Palling lies just 6 miles away. For lively family fun, visitors need look no further than Great Yarmouth and its famous pleasure beach, or Pleasurewood Hills theme park, whilst Cromer also offers traditional seaside entertainments including a renowned end of pier show. Bygone museums, craft centres and Blickling Hall (National Trust) are all within an easy drive, as is the medieval city of Norwich with its magnificent cathedral, castle, galleries, museums, cinemas, theatres and excellent shopping. A little further afield on the north Norfolk coast, seal watching boat trips can be found at picturesque fishing villages, many of which also boast pubs and restaurants serving superb, locally caught seafood. Coarse fishing is available on the lake opposite the properties just 400 yards away, and the pretty village of Ludham, 1 mile, boasts two pubs and a good range of shops.. All properties: Gas central heating, electricity, bed linen, towels and Wi-Fi included. Travel cot and highchair. Patio with garden furniture. Fishing on-site, 400 yards. Parking. No smoking.

Cottage was in a great location and had lots of space! The cottage however could do with a deep clean. It was one of those places that looked clean but really wasn't. For example the walls could do with a repaint or a wipe down and a serious de-cobwebbing session wouldn’t hurt, carpets and tiles could do with a deep clean and the bath was covered in something that I had to clean before using the bath. I opened the TV stand and it was full of cobwebs and dust! The oven needs replacing it worked once I figured out you had to have both knobs on at the same time but it has seen better days. Baking trays etc could do with being full size rather than mini ones. Also was rather confused that there was a dishwasher bearing in mind there was only enough plates etc for one meal at a time. Would i recommend no would I go again yes provided I’ve seen reviews that the property has been deep cleaned and then i may recommend. Ceiling in main bedroom very low and floors are very creaky upstairs!

A lovely and quiet location with great access to the broads. Plenty of space for kids and dogs to run around. Accommodation is clean, spacious and comes equipped with everything you need. Floorboards are a bit creaky which adds to the character 💙
