Property code: OC-1524

Watch the horses and donkeys in the meadow behind this converted farm building, a perfect destination for a solo escape or a couple looking for a rural getaway. It’s located in The Brecks, surrounded by beautiful countryside and within reach of lovely market towns and impressive cathedral cities.

Attractive old beams and a tiled floor give great character to this single-storey holiday home. The living space is open-plan and full of light, thanks to two sets of French doors to the garden. It encompasses a lounge area with comfortable seating, a dining area, and a galley kitchen with all the facilities you’ll need for cooking romantic suppers, or perhaps assembling delicious picnics for your days out. If you need more than an icebox, there’s a shared freezer in an outbuilding, along with a washing machine that’s all yours to use. The double bedroom has a wooden bed and pretty, traditional-style pendant light, and there’s also a lovely bathroom with a shower over the bath. The enclosed garden is huge, with masses of lawn and a large patio area for al fresco dining and a BBQ for you to grill your favourite foods - it’s worth noting that, on occasion, the Snetterton motor racing circuit can be heard from the garden.

In The Brecks you’ll find rolling farmland, open heaths and pine forests. It’s home to rare birds and much of it is designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest. The property is located on the owner's arable farm in the village of Larling, 4 miles from the famous Snetterton Circuit, a must-visit for all motor-sport enthusiasts, and within easy reach of the market towns of Attleborough (7 miles) and Wymondham (13 miles). For a day trip, the cathedral city of Norwich is 21 miles and Ely is 33 miles.

The property itself was perfect; we have, on other occasions, paid more and been disappointed - not this time ! Please thank the owners for the wine and other treats they provided for us, the eggs were the best we've ever tasted, thank you so very much. We had a very much needed Christmas break.

Very well equipped cottage with beautiful outlook. Extras like washing up liquid, cloths etc all supplied. Welcome surprises of wine, cake, marmalade most appreciated. A delightful spot. Long approach driveway was getting its potholes filled as we were leaving!

Quality property. Lovely outside space. Clean. Friendly owners. Nice touches on arrival like milk, wine, biscuits. Only drawback was the noise from the Snetterton race track but you got used to it.

The cottage and owners were so lovely! The cottage had everything I could need, my neighbours were horses and donkeys and all I did was read.
