Ideal for families, this cosy cottage is located in a tranquil area and invites dogs to join you for a family getaway in the Norfolk countryside. Boasting a wood burner for the winter months and an enclosed garden for the summer, it’s a great escape all year round, with plenty of history and beauty to see on a walk around the village of Castle Acre.
Welcoming you into the property is the living room/diner, with a charming exposed stone wood burner at its heart. A large leather sofa and two armchairs ensure comfortable places to sit, whilst the dining table for four is great for mealtimes or board games. The kitchen is beautifully finished with pastel hues and pale wood inspiring creativity when cooking. Upstairs, the two bedrooms are tastefully decorated in calming colours, with a double bed in one room and a small double in the other. Both rooms share the family bathroom where long evening soaks can be enjoyed in peace. Step outside and you’ll find the mature enclosed garden, filled with evergreen shrubs, small areas of lawn and a shingle seating area paired with a BBQ for outdoor feasts.
The village of Castle Acre itself is full of interest, with 12th-century castle ruins, a 16th-century tavern and plenty of pretty walking paths right on your doorstep. Avid walkers should embrace the opportunity to join the Peddars Way from Swaffham (4 miles) and explore a stretch of the much-loved 46-mile footpath. Why not enjoy a taste of the coast during your stay? Hunstanton lies 24 miles away and is a fantastic family day out with rock pools at the northern end and the iconic red and white striped cliffs as a backdrop.
