    Sitting next to grassy meadows and bluebell woods with its own private stretch of riverbank, is this semi-detached, two-bedroom cottage. Meadowside is located in the tiny Norfolk hamlet of Itteringham and is surrounded by undisturbed countryside. Inside reveals a traditional interior with an open fire warming the lounge.

    The hedged garden will lead you straight to the banks of the River Bure, giving you miles of riverside walks to explore. As a guest you’re invited to explore Blickling Hall, its walled garden and sweeping parklands free of charge. It’s just a 30-minute walk from the cottage. 

    The sandy beaches and cliff top paths of the Norfolk coast are within a 20 minute drive. Blakeney Point Nature Reserve is 20 miles away. The four-mile spit offers the unique opportunity to spot rare wildlife, such as grey seals and tern colonies. 

    Meadowside is joined to Bureside (sleeps four, dog friendly), and another holiday cottage, Mill Farm Barn (sleeps six, dog friendly), is nearby. There are another four cottages on the Blickling Estate and multiple cottages can be booked together for a group stay.
