Escape to the Norfolk countryside at this picturesque cottage for two in the quaint village of Buxton. With hundreds of acres of private parkland, the rolling fields wrap themselves around you like a warm green hug, so you can feel the hustle and bustle of everyday life disappear from the moment you arrive. 

Days begin with a complimentary breakfast in the bright kitchen as you plan for the day ahead. When it's time to head out, pack a picnic and fill up a flask of coffee, before embarking on a morning stroll in the crisp country air. Enjoy the dew on the fields and the tranquil sounds as you explore your surroundings. If you fancy a trip to Norwich, the city’s Romanesque cathedral, Sainsbury Centre art gallery and excellent selection of restaurants are less than an hour’s drive away.

After a day spent out and about, head back home, pour yourself a glass of wine and snuggle down in the cosy living room. There really is no better place to unwind after a day of exploring than under the wood beams, giving off a rural warmth that makes the space instantly inviting. Head up to your sumptuous solid brass bed with Egyptian cotton and the soft sounds of nature lulling you to sleep.

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.

Free Parking

With a hot tub and pizza oven in the garden and a cosy wood-burning stove for wintery nights, there's much to like about this elegant Norfolk Broads countryside home. Set in the sleepy village of Hevingham, and with field upon field surrounding you – there's little in the way of bustle here. However, neighbouring Buxton has a much-loved fish and chips shop, and there are traditional pubs just a few minutes drive away. Ready to explore? The Norfolk Broads National Park, Norwich and the mighty Norfolk Coast are all half an hour's drive.

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.

Blue Eyed Soul

Stair Gates

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

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

Perched on the edge of Blickling Hall Estate and fringing the chocolate-box village of Oulton, the setting for this adult-only hideaway is dreamy. All the cottagecore essentials are ticked off with original beams, a wood-burning stove, and a pretty, south-facing garden to call your own. Although it’s worth noting the home’s low beams and restricted head height might not suit the vertically blessed. With no amenities within walking distance, you’ll need a car here. Head to Holt for a dose of sea air (a twenty-minute drive). Or, closer to home, nearby Aylsham for a taste of market town life.

Driftwood Garden

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

This converted barn nestled in the Norfolk landscape is perfect for a country getaway. With plenty of outdoor space and easy access to the region's prettiest spots, it's ideal for families or groups of friends who want to get back to nature. 

The interior is bursting with character – you'll love the soft fabrics, warm color scheme, and original features that echo the building's history. On chilly evenings, you can curl up beside the fireplace with a good book and a glass of red wine, before preparing a delicious dinner in the kitchen. And, when the sun shines, you'll want to make full use of the garden's handsome garden – there's even an alfresco dining area and a summer house, so you can find your favourite spot. 

From here, the gorgeous Norfolk Broads are just a twenty-minute drive away – why not hire a boat and explore? If you fancy a day at the seaside, the sandy shoreline of Bacton Beach is only twenty-two minutes away by car. And, for those that are missing the city, historic Norwich is a thirty-minute drive away –  visit the castle, do some shopping, and round off your day in one of the traditional pubs. 

Barn By The Broads

Shared Washing Machine

With the Norfolk coast and countryside on your doorstep, this home is an ideal retreat for a family keen to spend their days outdoors. Full of 18th-century charm, while the traditional interiors may not be everyone’s cup of tea, it’s well-equipped for a relaxing stay. It’s worth bearing in mind, however, that the driveway and laundry room are shared with the two neighbouring homes, so if you prefer absolute privacy, this home may not be quite right for you.

This converted coach house still retains its original charm – the interior is rustic yet elegant. We love the exposed beams, stone floors and high ceilings. The southwest-facing walled garden with its pretty lawn is the perfect spot to unwind – fire up the barbecue for an alfresco lunch. On chillier evenings, cosy up in front of the wood-burning stove or have a luxurious soak in the roll-top bath. There is plenty of family fun to be had in this home – let siblings battle it out at the football table or bury themselves in a board game in the entertainment room. In the cloakroom, you'll find ample space for buckets and spades, and we recommend heading out to the nearby Cromer Beach for the day (a twenty-minute drive). If you want to explore the Norfolk Broads – it's just over thirty minutes in the car. Or it's a three-minute stroll to the local pub for a hearty meal and a pint to round off a perfect day in Norfolk.

Free Parking On Street

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. 

Swallowtail Summer

Underfloor Heating

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.

The Wheatfields Climb

Black-Out Blinds

Paid Parking On Street

Located in the heart of Norwich, a hidden gem tucked away off the beaten track. This is a perfect bolt hole to explore Norwich from. Grade II Listed and steeped with history, this elegant home has recently been renovated with attention to detail and comfort in mind, providing a warm and inviting atmosphere for up to two adults. Immerse yourself in the charm and ambience of this historic hideaway as you enter through the doorways, which transport you to an enchanting world. Take a stroll through the whispering pines surrounding the property or relax on the outdoor terrace, enjoying the tranquil oasis that surrounds you. Please note that access to the property is via various undulating steps.

The Secret Haven

This medieval townhouse is the perfect blend of old and new. From the outside, the listed building is charming and traditional, but step inside and you'll find a quirky, modern space. The living room is a true sanctuary, with ambient lighting, velvet sofas and plenty of cushions so you can get comfortable in style. 

In contrast, the kitchen is sunny and bright, ideal for putting a spring in your step each morning. You'll love whipping up a quick breakfast here before heading out for the day, or spending an evening cooking a family favourite to share at the dining table. 

When it's time to head out and about, Norwich Cathedral is only a minute's walk away, and if you head in the other direction you'll arrive at The Lanes and Norwich Market. And, if you need to refuel, there is a range of bars and restaurants to pick from just a matter of steps away from your front door. With such a central location in the heart of the city, you're truly spoilt for choice. 

Cobblestone Stories

While the tiny villages of Norfolk offer postcard-ready, rural scenes that you would expect, this home has quite the opposite of a rustic aesthetic. A two-minute stroll from the nearest pub in Banningham, or an eighteen-minute drive to coastal delights like the pier of Cromer, you can still enjoy traditional activities – but in a rather modern setting.

The exterior presents a cottage-like feel with red bricks and chunky timber supports propping up a slate roof. And that’s where the rustic feel ends. Step inside to beautifully 21st-century interiors, where the apex ceiling and bright white walls create an impressive sense of space and zen.

Kick off your walking boots and sink into the plush sofa while you look through the generous welcome hamper from your host. Whether you fancy a cup of tea, or wine is more your tipple, anything will go well with fresh bread and homemade cake. And you don’t need to prepare lunch either (although it’s a delight to cook in the sleek kitchen or on the barbecue), as your host can arrange for a private chef to make your meals in-house. We recommend dining alfresco in the lush, secluded garden – listen to birds sing while you savour every last bite on the sunny patio.

The Firecrest

Balcony

Sun Loungers / Beach Chairs

If you’re looking for a quiet couples retreat, this could be just the place for you. Surrounded by gorgeous green countryside, this first-floor home washes a sense of calm over you from the moment you step foot through the door. With chic furnishings and pops of colour peppered throughout, this is a home that you’ll be eager to return to after a day out exploring the nearby North Norfolk Coast or even the Broads. 
 
When you wake in the mornings you can enjoy the most glorious countryside views from the comfort of your bed – you may even be fortunate enough to see some of the local deer dancing across the fields. All you’ll need is someone to bring you a morning cuppa or if you’re really lucky, a spot of breakfast in bed. As you slowly wake, you can plan a day of adventure. For hiking and cycling enthusiasts, Marriott’s Way is just a short distance away.
 
As evening beckons, head home, grab a bottle of wine and head out onto your terrace. Maybe you’ll choose to unwind with a good book or enjoy a quiet conversation with your nightcap. As the sun sets and the sky goes through an array of colours, sit back, relax and let the clean countryside air fall still around you. What better way to end the day, than with perfect peace and quiet as nature wraps itself around you. 

Fresh Fields

This converted mill is a dreamy place to while away a few days. Nestled in the rolling Norfolk countryside, it's the perfect place to begin your adventures in this lovely corner of England. 

There are 200 years of history steeped in this wonderful home, and you'll find period details everywhere, from the brickwork to the beamed ceilings. The unique layout, with its gallery study overlooking the main living space, just adds to the charm. Catch up on some work at the desk, or select a novel from the collection and curl up beside the roaring log fire to get toasty. And, on warm days, you can head out to the garden for a game of table tennis, or simply sip a glass of wine on the terrace as you gaze out at the water below. 

From here, walkers and cyclists can hit the trails to explore – or, hire a boat and glide through the landscapes. History buffs will be intrigued by the Whitwell & Reepham Railway Station, just a fifteen-minute walk away from the home. And, if you fancy a day at the seaside, you can drive over to Cromer in around thirty-five minutes to hit the beach. 

The Norfolk Mill

Tennis Court

If you're looking to get away from it all, this home is in the ideal spot. All on the ground floor, it's set in a wing of a Grade II listed Palladian Villa and surrounded by 200 acres of unspoilt parkland. Originally built in the 1930s for use during the shooting season, the main part of this impressive house is now a family home. Beautiful arched windows let the sunlight stream into the spacious living room and offer views out over the grounds. 

Step straight from your door to explore the woodland, meadows and lakes of this vast estate – and if you're lucky, you'll catch a glimpse of deers, badgers, otters and all kinds of birdlife. Or enjoy a few games of tennis on the owner's outdoor court. 

It's only a four-minute drive to the nearest pub, or it's a fifteen-minute ride to the delightful coastal town of Cromer with its pier walk, crabbing, and fish and chips by the shore. By day you can explore the area's sandy beaches, walk the Norfolk Coastal Path or discover the National Trust properties of Felbrigg Hall and the Blickling Estate (a ten and twenty-minute drive, respectively).


The Huntsman

DVD Library

Although just twenty miles from the bustling, medieval city of Norwich, this home in the village of Little Barningham feels a world away. With ‘little’ being the operative word, this tiny hamlet is landmarked by a village hall, local church, and gorgeous traditional cottages like yours. Coming home to this adobe after a day in the city is a real taste of country life

Secluded and isolated, the original red brickwork and roof contrast beautifully with the lush trees and surrounding fields. We love the colourful flowers around the entrance, creating a magical scene lifted right from a fairytale. Crunching up the gravel to the front door, you might want to take a moment to sit on the bench and soak up the sun before venturing inside. Another option would be to head round to your private garden, where a verdant lawn and patio furniture awaits – perfect for afternoon tea and scones. 

When the evening rolls in, there’s no better place to be than in the lounge. It offers the English country comforts you’d expect, but without feeling old-fashioned or frumpy in any way. The glow from the log-burner slights up stylish grey sofas and a Berber-style patterned rug in muted tones, while a chunky timber beam lines the ceiling above. Could there be a more inviting space to enjoy a G&T before bed?

Sugared Scones

Bike Shed

Situated beside a thicket of pine trees, this charming cottage has everything you need from a holiday home in the Norfolk countryside: two sitting rooms, comfy antique furnishings, a fully-equipped kitchen and a private garden. Begin mornings curled up on one of the plump sofas with a coffee before throwing together a tasty breakfast to be enjoyed outside on the patio. 

After the plates are cleared, take the twenty-five-minute drive to the market town of Holt for an array of independent shops, galleries and quaint tea rooms. Or why not embrace the Great British seaside? Cromer is only half an hour away. Shopping fans will rejoice knowing the bustling city of Norwich is reached in thirty-five minutes by car while those who prefer to be closer to nature can enjoy a spot of birdwatching in nearby Buxton Heath. 

Return to your abode in the evening for a hearty supper in the dining area. And when it’s time to call it a night, sink into the comfortable beds and drift off into a deep sleep.

Pine & Primrose

Parking On Premises

From the moment you sweep into the private grounds of this flint-clad Norfolk farmhouse set just a short walk from the beach, you know this isn’t going to be your average coastal bolthole. Dating back to the 1600s and surrounded by three acres of fairytale-esque gardens, this is a home for all ten of you (and your furry friends) to pile in and start living the seaside dream in serious style.

In the summer months, pad out onto the elegant terrace to catch the golden hour sun with a tipple or two. Kids can run amuck on the vast lawns with a kickabout, game of badminton, or search out the garden basket swing, all under your watchful eye. Then head back indoors to cook up a feast in the shaker-style kitchen. There’s a grand dining room if you fancy rolling out the red carpet or keep things casual and alfresco on the veranda.

Enjoy long walks along the nearby cliff tops (a ten-minute walk) in the winter months. Then hunker down beside the fire with a post-walk cuppa. In need of some peace and quiet? That secondary snug is prime for a late afternoon loll or savour a soak in the rolltop bath, just because you can. Meanwhile, the impressive games room should keep the kids (and big kids) happy. 

And when it’s finally time to spread your wings further along the coast, take your pick from some of North Norfolk’s coast finest beaches – the coastal towns of Overstand, Sheringham, and Mundesley are just a short drive away. 

Seaside Heritage

Calling all seaside explorers – this one is for you. Perched in the sought-after village of Thorpe Market with four of North Norfolk’s finest beaches just a ten-minute drive away, the location of this flint period cottage is unbeatable. 

Pack up your buckets and spades and get off to a flying start in Cromer for days of picnicking, kite flying, and sandcastle building. When tummies start to rumble, there are fish and chip shops for supper on the beach. The nearby gastro pub (three-minute drive or twenty-minute walk) will do very nicely for something more upper-crust. Or head home for a barbecue in your suntrap garden – you can always swing by the local farm shop (a two-minute drive) to pick up supplies.

Inside, this charming home is perfectly set up for an easy family holiday, including your furry friends. Upstairs there are immaculate, clutter-free bedrooms. While back downstairs, the large farmhouse kitchen table is a fantastic spot to all come together to rustle up breakfast and hatch plans for a day of exploring. And after long, bracing walks in the countryside in the winter months, there’s an obligatory log-burner fire to curl up beside in the storybook armchair.

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.

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.
