    Stay in an atmospheric barn conversion set amongst water meadows and unspoilt Norfolk countryside. At the heart of the three-bedroom accommodation is a large sitting room with a double height beamed ceiling and electric wood effect stove. On warmer days you’ll be able to sit out in its enclosed garden where you may even catch of a glimpse of the deer and hares that roam the surrounding meadows.  

    You’ll be on the outskirts of the Blickling Estate, which you’re invited to explore free of charge. A 30-minute walk will lead you to its grand Jacobean hall, walled gardens and sweeping parklands. Bring your bike as there are lots of cycling trails around the estate.

    The sandy beaches and cliff top paths of the Norfolk coast are within 20 minute drive. Blakeney National 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. 

    There are two other holiday cottages nearby, Meadowside (sleeps four, dog friendly) and Bureside (sleeps four, dog friendly), and another four cottages on the Blickling Estate. Multiple cottages can be booked together for a group stay.
