About this property

Nestled within the idyllic surrounding parkland of the Old Hall at Congham, Grooms Cottage is a unique single storey property converted from the former groom's quarters of a Victorian country estate. Featuring beautiful country styling, this hideaway evokes a real country house experience, complete with trout fishing lake and rowing boat.
Children can enjoy adventures in the parkland and row the little boat on the lake (at own risk). Fishing rods, life jackets and lots of outside games are provided. The detached accommodation is furnished in a comfortable, quintessentially English country house style, with a large open fire, an Aga, antique furniture, and french doors opening out onto the garden and parkland beyond. Four bedrooms each offer an accompanying own bathroom.
The property is situated well away from roads with extensive grounds, including the fishing lake and parkland. This is an extraordinary place to stay at any time of the year, with many of our guests returning again and again. The majority of the large house was burnt down in 1939 but the site still retains servants quarters let on a long term rental, and the ancillary buildings of stables, yard and gamekeepers house.
This is a wonderful opportunity to be just a twenty minute drive from the coast, while enjoying the peace and tranquillity of stunning rural location. The parkland is home to a plethora of wildlife including deer, foxes, barn owls and other birds. If the event of inclement weather, there is plenty to do in the locality plus HM The King's Sandringham Estate close by.
Additional Information:
Four well behaved dogs welcome (small additional charge).
Bedding provided is synthetic.
Travel cot and high chair available on request. Please bring your own linen for the travel cot.

Our third visit. This time over Christmas. It was decorated beautifully with fairy lights and Christmas tree. Three generations of family and dogs, was as always, a warm, comfortable stay. Beautiful surrounding countryside, hope to return again soon.

A wonderful week exploring the amazing grounds and surrounding area. We loved seeing all the wildlife including a barn owl, kingfisher, deer, hares and a fox. The only problem was that the time flew by too quickly. Looking forward to next year already.
