Take yourself away from the everyday humdrum and head to the pretty Broadland village of Barton Turf, where this one-bed former farm building offers a sleepy idyll free from obligation. Fling open the French doors for views over rolling farmland – a small patio table is an ideal spot to sip wine with your other half – or indeed, by yourself in blissful solitude. You might spot marsh harriers, deer, hares or even badgers. 

Inside, you’ll find a roomy breakfast bar and a cosy living area. After a cup of tea on the comfortable sofa, strap on your hiking boots and explore. Follow bridleways through the surrounding countryside or charter a day boat and pootle along the River Ant. In the nearby village of Neatishead, a leisurely thirty-five-minute walk away, you’ll find a traditional pub – it’s the perfect place to refuel after an exciting day navigating the Broads and beyond.

A restorative family-home with stylish interiors in the heart of the Norfolk Broads. Located just a seven-minute walk from the charming riverbank village of Horning, you'll have easy access to all of the local inns, restaurants, small shops and tea rooms. Back inside, it's a modern, beautifully decorated house with all of the mod-cons needed for larger groups to enjoy a comfortable stay. The colourful, light-filled living room benefits from bi-folding patio doors that extend out to a crowd-pleasing garden that boasts a spa-style hot tub, bar area and outdoor seating, so you can spend lazy evenings dipping in-and-out of the jacuzzi, sipping drinks and swapping stories. On chillier nights, chum up and challenge your friends and family to a round of pool or foosball in the games room. Or break open a bottle of wine in the sleek, chef's kitchen and plate up the catch of the day – there's plenty of fishing opportunities nearby, so be sure to bring your rods. In fact, the best way to discover this achingly quaint holiday destination is by hopping on one of the daily boat trips that take you all the way down the river and are readily available from in the village.

Epitomising bucolic charm, this early 1800s manor, is a luxuriously quintessential English retreat. Delightfully peaceful, it’s nestled in the heart of the Norfolk countryside and within driving distance of the Wayford Marine, The Broad wetlands and canals. Just a short drive further and you'll find the fine sands of Horsey and the seals that occupy the beaches.

The interior exudes Georgian chic with exposed sweeping staircases, a log-burning fireplace, antique furnishings, crystal chandeliers and modern touches for optimal cosiness. We love the elegant living space, where you can unwind in front of the fire with a glass of natural wine and the lovely country-house kitchen, complete with an AGA, which is designed with home chefs in mind. Overlooking the breathtaking scenery and your wild garden surroundings, unwind in the hot tub under the crystal-clear night sky.

Framing the original entrance to a private countryside estate just a stone's throw from the Norfolk Broads, this charming gatehouse marries characterful rural features with modern comforts. For a restorative escape, this beautifully renovated home is an idyllic place to make memories amidst a 300-acre historic parkland. 

Wake up to chirping birds from your plush bed before preparing a leisurely breakfast in your country kitchen of farm-fresh eggs and crusty rye bread – we think the patio dining table is a serene spot to enjoy your hard work, accompanied by a freshly brewed coffee.  

Spend a day exploring the grounds or spot the local birdlife on a water-trail boat tour on The Broads. Not all the best attractions are saved for the summer months – head to Horsey Beach in the winter to see the grey seals during the birthing season. Regardless of the time of year, this piece of sandy beach is a pleasure all year round – you might still catch views of seals who’ve stuck around for some sun. If you're seeking a culinary experience, there are some charming local pubs in the area. As evening rolls around, pocket a few balls on the pool table, and enjoy a round of table tennis or air hockey, before sinking into the garden hot tub for a soak session under the stars.

You'll find this imposing home set within a 300-acre historic parkland at the centre of a North Norfolk private estate. The former home of the head gardener, this Georgian building boasts its own walled garden and numerous character features – not least its beautiful arched windows. A simple, elegant cottage that's been modernised without losing its charm, it's now perfect for a special break in the countryside.

Along with a games room with all sorts of fun activities for all the family, there's a large lawn and an outdoor dining terrace, plus a little modern luxury in the form of a hot tub. Elsewhere, a comfortable living room, cosy library and sociable eat-in kitchen provide plenty of living space for a family or a small group of friends, and pretty bedrooms and bathrooms offer a tranquil retreat. Spend your time walking in the wider parkland, head to the nearby Broads or drive to the coast in less than half an hour.  

Estate Cottage

Cleaning Products

With its thatched roof and shuttered windows, you couldn't ask for a cuter cottage than this Grade-II listed address sitting in the middle of a country estate in rural Norfolk.

Although it dates back to the 19th century, the interior is a little more contemporary than you might expect, save for the wooden beams and winding staircase. White walls and framed pictures lend the feel of an art gallery, while the cosy kitchen with a Belfast sink retains a rustic air. And what could be a better way of ending the day than with a long and languorous soak in the freestanding bathtub?

When the weather forecast makes for kind reading, the home has a private patio complete with a hot tub, barbecue and plenty of furniture to help you make the most of it. Alternatively, it doesn't take too long to reach the Norfolk coastline – Sea Palling Beach is twenty minutes' drive away, for instance. The city of Norwich is only half an hour away in the car, too.

Quintessentially British

Swimming Pool

Private Pool

Safe

Although the Norfolk coastline is only half an hour's drive away, you don't even have to get in the car if you fancy a refreshing dip while staying here. Out in the garden, a heated swimming pool will be the place to play and relax all throughout the summer months.

When the British weather has other ideas, however, there's plenty to like about the home's interior, too. The long living room benefits from big windows at either end so there's plenty of natural light, while the kitchen is both generous with surface space and finished in a fetching shade of mint green.

In the local area, there are distractions to appeal to guests of all persuasions. BeWILDerwood theme park takes seven minutes to reach in the car, while Wroxham Barns is a twelve-minute drive away. There's no shortage of walking routes and watersports opportunities in the surrounding Norfolk Broads as well.

Bathrobes

If you're after a home that's got space for you and your beloved pooch(es), we've found one that's just 'paw-fect' (we can't promise that won't be the last dog pun). A gorgeous barn conversion close to the wind-whipped Norfolk coast, this home has been set up with dog lovers in mind. There's enough space for up to four of your furry friends to join, with a lavish fleece-lined bed for each, throws for those that just won't stay off the sofa, an enclosed garden and a special dog hamper to welcome them. Two-legged guests will love the open-plan living and dining area, the AGA in the kitchen, comfy sofas and plenty of games. You'll definitely want to keep the dogs out of the bedrooms, though, as the Egyptian cotton bedding is far too sumptuous to share. Nearby there are lots of dog-friendly woodland and beach walks, and local pub The Star Inn will be happy to welcome you and your tail-wagging companions. After a day out exploring the best of the north Norfolk coast, treat yourself to a soak in the hot tub looking out over the surrounding fields. If you want to explore further afield, head twenty miles north to Cromer, known as 'the gem of the Norfolk coast'. We think it makes for the 'ulti-mutt' escape.

It's A Dog's Life

Desk / Workplace

Balcony

This lovely home is perfect for those who don't want to leave their dogs behind when going away on holiday. The property is expertly crafted to accommodate pooches so they can also have a wonderfully comfortable stay. There's plenty of space within the house as you wander through, admiring the beamed ceilings and rustic wooden features throughout. Snuggle up together in the living space, including the dog of course, to watch a movie on the TV as you sip on a toasty cup of coffee. You've got a choice of where you'd like to tuck into meals too, whether you opt for an al fresco lunch in the courtyard, a hearty homecooked plate at the indoor dining table, or a light bite while sitting at the breakfast bar.

The outdoor space is a fantastic spot to enjoy a picnic with your loved ones on the grass or on the picnic bench, as your loveable dogs run around and play. In fact, you may even spot a range of wildlife during your stay here as red deer and hares have been seen amongst the rural surroundings.

Not only is the house great for dogs, but the surrounding area too. With relaxing walks along the Weavers Way as you traverse through verdant trees and bushes – a beautiful getaway from the hustle and bustle of busy daily life. A short drive takes you to the market town of Stalham where you can treat yourself to a delicious portion of fish and chips. Sea Palling Beach is a fifteen–minute drive away from the house for a day out by the ocean – your dogs will love running up and down the sand here. 

Daydream For Dogs

There's a lot to love about this converted barn in the heart of the Norfolk countryside. And its peaceful setting, surrounded by woodlands, water meadows and gardens are just the beginning. How about a tennis court? And, of course, what would a home in the Broads be without water access? This place has it all. On the River Bure, adventurous types can bring a canoe or paddle board, and even paddle along to the nearby riverside pub. You'll have your own fishing spot if that's how you prefer to spend your afternoons, or just bring your binoculars and look out for otters, kingfishers and more. Indoors, it's a bright and modern space, with a sociable living area and stylish kitchen – complete with a huge island. Patio doors open to a private terrace, and we love the vaulted ceilings and stripped-back original beams. There's a bedroom on the ground floor, with direct access outside, and the family bathroom is on that level too, while the master and third bedroom are upstairs (the third having a unique, low level window overlooking the dining room). With fifteen acres of land to explore, there are great walks to be had from your doorstep, and here you'll be about twenty minutes by car from Norwich in one direction, and the stunning Norfolk coast in the other.

Gently Down The Stream

DVD Player

This charming cottage provides scenic views of the Norfolk Broads right from its living room. Sit with a book by the electric fireplace, occasionally pausing to gaze out at over the green hills of East Anglia. The cute, country-style kitchen is compact but has everything you need for self-catering. 

Embark on a hike, straight from your front door, stopping for birdwatching and fishing by Womack Staithe. Back at home you can sunbathe in the courtyard and plan a picnic in the shades of the towering oaks in the communal garden. 

Head east for the Horsey Gap Beach and west for the historic city of Norwich, which is packed with museums, bars and restaurants. For something a little quainter, stroll along the banks of the River Thurne in the village of Ludham.

Womack Cottage

Blu Ray Player

Nature lovers will adore this countryside cottage, sitting pretty in the village of Hickling – just a ten-minute walk from the largest of the Norfolk Broads. Whether you bring your binoculars for birdwatching or make use of the many cycle paths dotted about, there are plenty of ways to partake in the great outdoors. You can even plan bucket and spade days at Sea Palling Beach, which is only a fifteen-minute drive away. After an action-packed adventure, why not pop into your local pub for a pint?

Come into the cottage and put your feet up by an old-fashioned fireplace. You can whip up a bacon breakfast while listening to the radio, then thumb through a good book on this tartan armchair. Don't forget to spend time in your secluded garden, where you can commit to a British barbecue in all weathers. The evening entertainment is taken care of too, thanks to family-favourite board games – as well as a DVD and Blu-ray player for movie nights.

If you're travelling with furry friends in tow, look no further than this thatched-roof cottage close to the Norfolk coastline. 

Throws for sofas, dog bowls, bags and biscuits all come as standard. Tiled floors downstairs mean there’s no need to worry about muddy paw prints on carpets, and if you don’t fancy one of the many great walks on the doorstep, you can just let them exercise themselves in the garden. Even the local pub — the Lessingham Star, a couple of minutes’ walk — is dog-friendly.

Of course, you don’t need a hound to enjoy this fantastic house. The owners are former residents and it still very much has the feel of a family home. Downstairs, there are plenty of cosy living rooms and snugs in which to rest up after long rambles. In the country-style kitchen, there's an electric range oven for the full rural fantasy, although there's a barbecue out on the terrace if the weather's on your side. Come nighttime, you might be able to see bats or hear owls, foxes and deer from the nearby woodland.

When you want an afternoon out, there's a hedge-lined grassy track that will take you to Sea Palling beach in twenty minutes' walk and the Norfolk Broads can be reached in no more than five minutes in the car. The city of Norwich is a forty-five-minute drive away, too.





The Thatcher's Cottage

A stay in The Broads delivers more than just stunning scenery – with watersports, boating, cycling and birdwatching at your fingertips, all you need is a good base to enjoy them from. This rural home in Ludham is a little traditional, and you won’t find any modern features here, though it’s a comfortable and cosy space to return to at the end of a day at Horsey Gap Beach. The garden allows you to make the most of the sunshine, and while the fireplace is only decorative, the living room is a great spot to enjoy a glass of wine.

Seashells

This elegant coastal home set a mere 0.1 miles from the beach in the postcard-pretty village of Happisburgh, had us charmed with its country garden and summer house alone. And that was before we'd even seen the slipper bath and four-poster bed of its swoon-worthy interiors.

Inside, every corner of this Norfolk home feels like an interior magazine brought to life. Antique pieces and objets d'art nod to the home's 18th-century beginnings, while pops of colour add a dash of modernity.

Set out over one level, there's room for you to all spill out in style here. When the sun shines, pad out into the enclosed wraparound garden for alfresco breakfasts. Then savour that second coffee beneath the dapple of the apple tree while kids and furry friends run off some energy on the lawns.

When you're ready to meet the locals of this otherworldly village, Happisburgh's traditional inn dating back to 1550 is just around the corner for upper-crust grub. Or follow the iconic red and white striped lighthouse down to the seafront for afternoons of picnicking and sandcastle building.

As evenings draw in, head home to run yourself a bubble bath (there are fluffy robes and slippers at the ready) before nestling beside the fire and breaking out the home's board games. Then all that's left to do is sink into that hug of a king-sized, four-poster bed – it's got dreamy slumbers written all over it.

Parking On Premises

Perched close to the sandy shores of Norfolk’s Walcott Beach and surrounded by patchwork fields, this charming barn conversion has all the makings for an easy, breezy seaside retreat.

From its blissfully quiet, secluded spot, you could feel a million miles from anywhere – which is how we like things. But when the sea calls, the soft sands of Walcott Beach are just 0.9 miles away. A smidge further, you’ll find the post-card pretty village of Ridlington (a 2.5-mile drive). Or, there's good old-fashioned beach fun down at Mundesley, with its colourful beach huts, lip-smacking fish and chip shops, and lashings of ice cream.

Back home, this light-filled treasure is a joy to return to, with its exposed beams and stonework bringing all the wow factor. Set out across one level, extended families or friends sharing will love the privacy the bedrooms bring, each with a separate bathroom. And there’s heaps of space to get together for catch-ups and cuppas around that impressive wood burner – the underfloor heating will keep things toasty in winter too. And when the sun shines, fling those French doors open wide and head out into the suntrap garden for drinks on the terrace as kids and furry friends alike burn off some energy on the enclosed lawns. 

Barn and the Beach

Welcome to a true slice of rural paradise. Situated five miles inland from the gorgeous Norfolk coastline, this cosy home is perfect for small families or groups of friends looking for a wholesome escape in the Norfolk Broads.

A quaint stone exterior, cloaked by fresh greenery and colourful flowers, guards an interior brimming with modern luxury. You'll love the intimate vibe of the cosy living room – a snug haven of comfort. Warmed by a modern fire, the comfy sofas provide the perfect sanctuary to curl up with a book and cup of tea.

Next door to the living room, find a contemporary kitchen shaped by stylish, wooden fittings and a marble countertop. Rustle up some tasty dishes and enjoy each bite in the home's standout feature – the gorgeous conservatory.

Flooded with natural light and emanating a radiant ambiance, it's an idyllic spot to settle for breakfast, lunch and dinner. When the sun sets through the glass doors, the room descends into a vibrant hub to chat away into the night. 

On the warm, summer evenings, you can move out to the cute garden bench to enjoy the fresh air. If you prefer dining out to eating in, welcoming eating and drinking spots are just a short walk away. 

Glass Sunsets

Step inside our Norfolk cottage and be captivated by its rustic décor and charming open brickwork. This single-level home is brimming with character and offers a welcoming retreat after exploring Norfolk's magnificent coastline.

Seaside Sands

Sauna

This intimate home is a marriage of contrasts. It blends traditional architecture from the 16th century with modern luxury. Cosy yet well-sized, it also has an expansive layout that maintains a homely vibe. It offers everything you could want for a dreamy escape to the coast.

Original stone fireplaces and wooden beams showcase the rustic history, sewn together by premium furnishings. Though the home’s structure may be rooted in the past, its brimming with high-quality, contemporary amenities. 

Each of the six bedrooms has its own state-of-the-art en-suite, Sky and Apple TVs are dotted around the home, and you can even book some time in the on-site swimming pool. 

If that's not enough to keep you entertained, there's a games room featuring table football, pinball machines and air-hockey. For the deep-thinkers, a chess board and library of books keep your mind active whilst you're on holiday. 

Venture beyond the pretty courtyard to explore some local history and highlights. Explore the fresh greenery of Bromholm Priory and discover the gorgeous beaches of Bacton. The local area radiates with natural beauty and offers an activity for every mood. 

Chaucer's Chant

We may have just found the most adorable home in Norfolk — and it's pet friendly. Located only a short walk from Happisburgh beach, this stunning barn conversion is a fantastic spot to bring your loved ones and let loose. While the pups are playing in the garden, you can chill out in the shade with a cocktail recipe that took you mane iterations to perfect and play scrabble to showcase your enviable vocabulary. Take the tribe to the beach whenever you feel like and when the weather is nice, have a picnic there too. On lazier days, you might only make it as far as the orchard garden, but that's more than fine as long as you remember to relax. When you feel like embarking on a day trip, Norfolk will provide plenty of fascinating destinations ranging from war memorials to famous tearooms.

For a contemporary take on farmhouse chic, you'd be hard-pressed to find a better example than this stunning 1920s converted barn. Sandwiched between the spectacular Norfolk Coast AONB and the charming Norfolk Broads, this home places you within a fifteen-minute drive of some of the most picturesque scenery the UK has to offer. In addition, its proximity to Norwich makes it ideally suited for anyone who might appreciate a bit of retail therapy thrown in alongside the natural wonders.

French doors line the side of the barn, allowing easy access to the garden from almost every room in the house, including both bedrooms – perfect for that morning cup of coffee in the sun. The open layout and soaring vaulted ceilings maximise the natural light flowing in the opposite direction. A sleek kitchen is ideal for plating up culinary perfection, while the spacious living room offers a comfy spot to put your feet up at the end of a day spent exploring your surroundings.

The village of East Ruston might have featured in a Sherlock Holmes book, but nowadays it's best known as home to a creatively designed 32-acre garden packed with rare and exotic plants that you wouldn't expect to thrive this close to the North Sea coast. A network of public footpaths leads directly from the barn and crisscross the countryside, providing you with plenty of choices when it comes to walks. Meanwhile, those who prefer two-wheeled transport will appreciate the proximity to the 100-mile Norfolk Coast Cycleway (and the on-site bike storage).

Tea Garden

Air Conditioning

If you were to picture a cute home in the Norfolk countryside, you'd imagine something like this. The whole home is in pristine condition – every inch has been carefully tidied, polished and radiates with an immaculate aesthetic. 

Even from the outside, the home exudes perfection. If you peek through a row of colourful flowers and fresh plant life, you'll discover a charming home with a majestic centrepiece – the gorgeous conservatory. 

Painted in lime green, lined with smooth tiles and supported by exposed brick walls, it's a room that oozes with style. It perfectly blends traditional design with modern comforts – find rustic furniture sitting next to new, comfy seats. 

Whatever season you visit, it's a dreamy spot to settle for breakfast, lunch or dinner. You can curl up with a book on the colder nights and snuggle into the cosy seats. On the warmer days, open out the doors and enjoy a glass of something cold on the wooden garden bench. Each sip tastes that bit crisper when you're surrounded by fresh, country air. 

Wander inside from the conservatory and discover a quaint living room with contemporary touches. An exposed brick fireplace adds a cosy ambiance, enhanced by the low-vaulted wooden beams stretching across the ceiling. 



Pristine Picture

Perfect for pups, this lovely cottage has everything you and your four-legged friends will need for a seaside getaway. It's incredibly dog-friendly, with heaps of features that dog owners will appreciate – an enclosed, astroturf courtyard (no muddy paws!), easy-clean laminate floors, bowls and crates, and a comfy white sofa that looks stylish but is easy to wipe down. Even without a pooch, you'll be happy to call this annexe home. It's bright, inviting and has plenty of charm. Owners Tracie and Neil are highly knowledgeable about the area and keep a cosy, traditional home – they live next door but can be as hands-on (or off) as you need. We love their attention to detail, and a few unique pieces were handcrafted by Neil, including the TV stand converted from a Singer sewing machine, the pine coffee table and the light fittings. Set in the coastal village of Happisburgh, there's a lot to keep you busy. After an alfresco breakfast, lace up your boots and take a walk along the beach – both Cart Gap and Happisburgh Beach are a twenty-minute stroll away. You can't miss the bold red-and-white-striped lighthouse along the sea – it's the oldest working one in East Anglia – but other places worth exploring include the lush Bacton Woods and the collection of inns and pubs serving traditional English food along the seaside.

Set within the extensive grounds of a 16th-century Grade II listed home (which once served Bromholm Priory as a working farm), this little cottage makes the perfect setting for a rustic retreat on the Norfolk coast. And with direct access to Bacton beach as well as the use of a communal swimming pool, you’ll find yourself transported to a wonderful state of relaxation. 

Inside, the owners have retained the traditional features of this old stable building and added in a range of contemporary comforts. From the Tudor brick fireplace to the wooden beams and snug bedrooms, this is a wonderful place to get cosy and share quality time together. 

Outside, you’ll find a private garden with a barbecue – perfect for embracing the magic of outdoor living. From here, make your way to the thatched barn house to enjoy a refreshing swim in the communal pool or an energising workout in the mini gym. Children (and adults) will love the playful spirit of the gardens – there’s a giant chess set, seesaw and trampoline as well as a games room in the old gig house. 

Days can be spent hiking along the coast or following in the footsteps of pilgrims to the ruins of Bromholm Priory – just a short walk away. 

Pilgrims Rest

Watch the herons dive for their breakfast as you sip your morning coffee in this gorgeous waterside home. On the lush green banks of a small private lake in the Norfolk Broads, this home offers a rural escape while still being a stone’s throw from the cultural city of Norwich (a five minute drive if we’re being pedantic). Surrounded by untouched woodlands, this home is a great place to get back in touch with nature and appreciate the beauty of the world around you. And if you’re not an outdoorsy type, the indoor heated pool is sure to tempt you even if the lake doesn’t. 


Woodland Grey

This cosy barn sits on the edge of the Norfolk Broads, where it offers the ideal setting for a relaxing group getaway. Inside, you’ll find plenty of socialising space across the kitchen and living room. There is also a mezzanine snug with a handy desk for remote workers, plus two of the bedrooms can be arranged as doubles or singles to accommodate flexible sleeping arrangements. Outside, there is a peaceful garden with a barbecue and plenty to explore. From here, it’s just a short drive to the village of Acle while the North Norfolk Coast is just 30 miles away.

This home is ideal for families, as there’s so much to do. It can be found in pretty Bacton, within easy reach of the Norfolk Broads and Norwich – and just a short walk from Bacton Beach. In addition to having a cosy, traditional home to return to after days spent in the fresh air, you’ll also have access to a communal indoor swimming pool and a games room. The shared garden is a lovely spot when the weather is fine, too. The decor on the rustic side and the main bedroom isn’t entirely private, so it won’t suit everyone – but we think it’s a great option for a family and their four-legged friend.

If you’re looking for a real away-from-it-all retreat that’s truly one of a kind, then look no further than this home on the Norfolk Coast. Featured on Channel 4's Homes by the Sea, it’s located right next to the dunes at Winterton-on-Sea, in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. A former working lighthouse, it’s perfect for a peaceful stay with a surreal fairytale quality. When we visited, we were particularly impressed by the unusual round rooms that stack up on top of one another. Once filled with nautical equipment, these are now well designed spaces with beautiful furniture and objects, including an impressive library, bunk-bed room for kids, living room, and finally a lofty viewing platform bedroom (not for the faint hearted). Down on ground level you’ll find a contemporary open-plan space where you can cook in the shiny stainless steel kitchen or bask in the warmth of the wood burner as you eat dinner in the relaxed dining area. Folding doors give access out into the small garden for picnics or al fresco breakfasts. Families in particular will love the easy access to seaside life, including great fish and chips, good local pubs, parks and boat-trips. The Norfolk Broads is also nearby; the UK's largest wetland area, it's perfect for boating, cycling and walking. In short, this is a great home for those who want to experience everything a Norfolk staycation has to offer, while staying somewhere with real wow factor. 

The Norfolk Beacon

Tucked away in the quiet village of Bacton, this charming flint home absolutely exudes cosy comfort. With a sumptuous sectional sofa and a crackling wood burner in the living area, a large dining table in the country-style kitchen and three inviting bedrooms, there's plenty of space here to spread out and make yourself comfortable. Home chefs can cook up a storm in the kitchen – it's well-stocked with everything you need – while kids play a board game or snuggle up with a book. That said, our favourite spot has to be the sunny garden. Fire up the barbecue for dinner, share your meal around the outdoor table and then when the sun goes down, snuggle up by the fire pit underneath the stars.

Right down the street is the ruins of the Priory of Bromholm, a historic abbey that was said to house a piece of the True Cross. And just a little further, only five minutes away, is a sandy beach, where you can sprawl out on the Norfolk coast and dip your toes into the water. When you're not in the mood to cook, there are a few pubs and eateries in town, plus lively Cromer is only ten miles away – perfect for a day trip.

Where the Air Is Sweet

Espresso Machine

This baby blue timber lodge is just as cute on the inside as it is on the outside. As well as having all the essentials for a romantic getaway, there are house plants, colourful pieces of artwork and a turquoise accent wall to give the place a bit of character without overdoing it — one of the hosts is an interior designer, can't you tell? Out through the glass door, there's a large garden with a cosy seating area at the far end and plenty of potted plants dotted about. You'll find that there's a real sense of peace here. The local village of Banningham is small — albeit with a well-recommended gastropub — and there are plenty of outdoor excursions to fill your days with nearby. The birthplace of Anne Boleyn, Blickling Estate, takes ten minutes to reach in the car, while Cromer Beach is a seventeen-minute drive away, too.

Escape the hustle and bustle of the city and take a trip to Norfolk’s gorgeous north coast, where you’ll find this stunning brick and flint cottage, perfectly situated for a relaxing East Anglian getaway. 

Whether you’re travelling with family or friends, you’ll love the abundance of space here, particularly the sprawling garden, which boasts a sheltered seating area, plus plenty of room for pets and children to roam while you soak up some sun. Indoors, beamed wooden ceilings and snug sofas make this the perfect place to relax after a day of exploring Norfolk’s charming beaches and villages. Throw some popcorn in the microwave and settle in for a movie night in the cinema room or gather everyone round the dining table for a feast of fish and chips from a local takeaway.
