Perched a five-minute stroll away from Caister-on-Sea Beach, this spot offers an idyllic setting for a family to come together for a refreshing break by the sea. Inside the home, a vast open plan living area, furnished with timeless furniture and decoration offers a sophisticated space to relax all year round. Whether you visit during the sunny summer's months or in the chill of winter, this home remains a warm, welcoming and tranquil place to retreat to when seeking an escape from the mundane. From the living space, large glass sliding doors invite in plenty of natural daylight from the outside patio – perfect for relaxing amidst the sea air. Fire up the barbecue or chill with a book in hand on the corner sofa, before heading down to the beach to catch the sunset. And if you head upstairs (and stand on tiptoes), you can catch a glimpse of the sea from the attic window – the beach is just 300 metres away after all. After a day on the beach, call into the village to nosey around the local shops and boutiques followed by a bite to eat at one of the local restaurants or cafes. With everything within walking distance, there is little need to travel by car when you don't feel like leaving Caister-on-Sea. But if you do fancy a little drive out, Great Yarmouth is only ten minutes down the road and well worth a visit.

Grab your bucket and spades and hit the Norfolk coast at this modern, family home just a ten-minute stroll from the beach. Located in the charming seaside village of Caister-on-Sea, just north of Great Yarmouth, it's the village's endless sandy beach that's the biggest draw, and rightly so. An ideal starting point for inspiring coastal walks to Hemsby, Winterton, or Great Yarmouth; there's plenty of Norfolk's expansive coastlines to discover from here. Or for a spot of culture, head to Caister's 15th-century old castle (five-minute drive away) - now home to a royal range of vintage cars. When tummies start to rumble, there are pubs for hearty grub within walking distance and, of course, an obligatory fish and chip shop. Or head home for a barbecue in your private enclosed garden, where kids and dogs can roam free with sandy toes. Inside, this home is perfectly set up for an easy family holiday. Upstairs there are smart, clutter-free spaces, including a nursery room with a cot ready to go. Downstairs, the large breakfast bar in the kitchen is a fantastic spot to all come together to rustle up breakfast and hatch plans for a day exploring. Although with that glorious beach just a stroll away, we wouldn't blame you if you stayed precisely where you are.

Rooftop Terrace

Escape for some fresh coastal air and bring your friends or family members along with you. It's a spacious and stylish apartment with plenty of seating, pops of colour and tasteful decor. Ideal for a small group, this contemporary home offers comfortable bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, a sleek kitchen and a chic dining area – we especially love the Eames-style chairs and funky artwork. While this is a modern build, and a well-presented one at that, there's a warmth here with the vibrant scatter cushions, comfy throws and green houseplants that makes it feel like home right away. The real highlight of the apartment is outside space – complete with garden furniture, a barbecue and a tall wooden fence for added privacy – sitting out on the patio with a glass of chilled wine is a dreamy way to bookmark any day if you ask us. Perfectly placed, walk to sandy Great Yarmouth Beach in less than twelve minutes and be at Nelson's Monument and the lively town centre in under half an hour. We'd especially recommend a trip to the Merrivale Model Village if you're after a fun family day out – as with most of the popular attractions, it's well within reach here. 

Town Is By The Sea

Part of a striking period building close to the centre of this buzzing seaside town, the home is modern, spacious and effortlessly cool. Once a post office, this building still retains features like its impressive windows and partially tiled, loft-style walls. But the real showstopper is the incredible vaulted ceiling, with exposed metal struts and a clever mezzanine level above the open-plan living space. Here you and your group can spread out on the comfy sofa, cook meals while chatting over the unique breakfast bar and eat at the industrial dining table. And we absolutely love the vast master bedroom up in the eaves. Surrounded by steel girders and with its own lounge area and bathroom, it's a luxurious and quirky place to sleep. Here you'll be just a ten-minute walk from the seafront and beach, with all sorts of attractions, shops and restaurants right outside your door.

Heavy Metal

Colourful and modern, this stylish flat overlooks the plaza and has plenty of room to spread out and get comfortable. A fully-equipped kitchen means families can rustle up a meal and dine together, while the cosy living room is the place to kick back and unwind. Fans of bright hues will love this home as you'll find lime green dining chairs, vibrant rugs and bold orange paint inside. But it's not a total explosion of colour – the flashy shades are paired with sleek furniture and white walls, so although the vibe is funky, it's still a relaxing respite after a day in the sun. Speaking of fun in the sunshine, this apartment is in the heart of Great Yarmouth, overlooking the plaza. Britannia Pier and its slew of attractions is a ten-minute walk away, while an eight-minute stroll will take you to the beach. Grab a towel and sprawl out the sandy coastline while the kids splash in the waves. There are plenty of pubs, restaurants and cafes in town when you grow peckish, but being so close to everything means you can easily pop home for lunch if you fancy it. Safe to say, this is an excellent family pad for a seaside getaway.

Down By The Seashore

With three great waterways clamouring for your attention – the River Yare, Breydon Water lake, and the North Sea – the town of Great Yarmouth is quite the destination for watersports fans and beach bums. An eight-minute walk to Great Yarmouth Beach, this penthouse flat is perfectly located for shaking off the sand and cosying up after a long day of exploring. Set in a majestic, red-brick building in a Victorian style, you’ll be impressed from the offset. Ascending to the top floor, it only gets better. From up here, you’ve got gorgeous views of local sights like St George’s Plaza from a triple set of sash windows in the lounge. Pop a bottle of prosecco, say cheers to the start of the holiday, and check out the bustling scene below. In contrast, the apartment is fairly understated. Minimalist furniture and a sleek, white kitchen create a calming atmosphere, but a playful edge comes through with the dark turquoise feature wall. It’s a similar story in the bedrooms, with neutral tones, white, and yellow dominating the colour palette – ideal for relaxing after you return from an evening in the pub.

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

Desk / Workplace

Slow down for a while at this charming barn conversion, set along a quiet farm track in the picturesque village of Runham and just ten minutes from the coast.
 
A triumph in upside-down living, upstairs you'll find a light-filled living space bringing all the traditional country vibes with rugged oak beams and rural views through the windows. While downstairs, one big hug of a bed awaits in the two serene bedrooms with super king-sized beds and the crispest white linens. There’s plenty of space for dining inside and out, as the mood or weather takes you – and a wood burner in the living room to hunker down beside and break out the board games on wintery days. 
 
The devil really is in the detail at this home, with a welcome hamper stuffed with goodies and an ‘honesty shop’ selling everything from souvenirs to dog treats. There’s even a mini button-backed Chesterfield for furry friends to curl up in after bracing walks. And you're in the right spot for it – the Norfolk Broads National Park is just moments from your door. 

Giving you boundless exploring opportunities – the nearby Broads Explorer loop is perfect for cyclists. Less than twenty minutes away are the sweeping beaches at Winterton-on-Sea and Horsey, where you can get up close to the resident seal colony. And for walkers, Weaver’s Way is nearby, offering plenty of circular routes. Take it from us – you’ll be spoilt for choice.

Great Yarmouth has been enticing holidaying Brits with its seaside charms since the 1700s. Housed in an Edwardian building overlooking the River Yare, this one-bedroom penthouse apartment is here to show you exactly why. Step inside, and despite the largely modern interior, there's still plenty of period charm on show. Take a seat on the blue velvet sofa beneath the exposed beam ceilings, gaze out at the river through the elegant sash windows, or take a seat on the ledge behind the stunning wrought-iron railings. Thanks to its many windows, the open-plan living room/kitchen is well illuminated, with a minimalist modern kitchen on hand for any budding chefs. A trip to Great Yarmouth is a trip back in time to the heyday of the British seaside resort. In addition to the requisite stretch of sandy beach, there's a Pleasure Beach for that nostalgic fairground atmosphere, the Hippodrome Circus for retro seaside shows, and the Elizabethan House Museum filled with centuries-old furniture, clothing and even armour. Slightly further afield, explore the beauty of the Norfolk Broads, or visit the charming cathedral city of Norwich.

The Quay to Happiness

Once a chapel, now a cosy family home, this unique retreat provides an atmospheric stay on Norfolk’s charming coast. Original features have been lovingly restored in the living space – think Gothic-style windows and intricately carved timber beams – while the kitchen is all mod-cons and the bedrooms boast sumptuous beds that are a treat to fall into. 

When you’re not curled up on the leather couches with a mug of tea or penning a smug postcard at the handy writing desk, you’ll be making sandcastles on Gorleston-On-Sea Beach, a twenty-minute walk away, and tucking into golden fish and chips picked up from Gorleston high street. If you have the little ones in tow, Great Yarmouth, with its arcades and amusement parks, is a day well spent – and best of all, it’s less than a ten-minute drive away.

Sanctuary by the Sea

Safety Gates

Just on the outskirts of the pretty village of Filby, a short walk from the broad and a seven-minute drive from the sea, this home is in the perfect spot for exploring the best of Norfolk. Tucked away in a quiet country lane, it's a charming home with tonnes of character, ideal for a family or a small group of friends.

There's nothing dull or neutral about the interior, decorated with bold colours, quirky ornaments, vintage treasures and modern art. The heart of the home is the family room and kitchen, with its stone floor and huge kitchen island. There's a dining table as well as a breakfast bar and squashy leather sofa, so it's a big, sociable space with skylights and double doors out to the garden. A snug just around the corner is the perfect place to cuddle up in front of a film and there's a log burner for added cosiness in the winter.

But what we really love about this place is the outdoor space, which had us trying to work out how we could copy it at home. The gravel patio features an outdoor sofa for drinks in the sun while the lawn is flat and safe for children to play on. And at the end of the garden, a beautiful oak-framed shelter means you can barbecue and eat outdoors no matter the weather. Complete with bunting, a little bar and a mini-fridge, it's more than a little dreamy.

From here it's just a short stroll to the nearby pub and village shop, with Norfolk's beautiful beaches at Caister-on-Sea less than a ten-minute drive and Great Yarmouth just a little further.

Experience a truly relaxing coastal stay at this handsome cottage, situated in the picturesque town of Winterton-on-Sea. Just a five-minute walk from the sandy beach, this home is a perfect oasis of peace and tranquillity, offering comfort and cosiness for families and groups of friends – and that includes your four-legged chums too. 

As soon as you arrive, you’ll be greeted by the cottage’s cheerful exterior, framed by the lush greenery of its garden. Come inside to find a bright living room, with plush seating and an open fireplace, perfect for snuggling up on those family evenings of movies and conversation. You’ll be able to put together lovely meals in the well-equipped kitchen and savour them at the dining table or in the sun-filled conservatory. 

Step out into the lovely garden to enjoy afternoons of sunshine, and you’ll also find a barbecue here for those alfresco feasts. Later head back inside to relax and unwind in the jacuzzi, before a night of sweet dreams in the comfy bedrooms. 

Outside your cottage, you’ll find yourself close to all the gorgeous sights that this part of Norfolk has to offer, with great cycling trails and the Norwich and The Broads National Park a short distance away.

Sun Loungers / Beach Chairs

This Grade II listed Manor House is located in the Norfolk Broads National Park and has its own private waterway and a walled garden set in twelve acres of private parkland, providing a sense of English countryside tranquillity. 

We would love nothing more than to enjoy a lie-in here before taking a post-breakfast leisurely stroll around the garden. Or hop into the car and head to the beach – a short nine-minute drive away – to indulge in the soothing sounds of crashing waves and the soft sand beneath our feet. What’s more, the Norfolk Broads National Park provides great country walks, and its proximity to the coast means you can even go sea fishing.

In the late afternoon, why not enjoy a British afternoon tea in the garden on sunny days? Or, on rainy days, curl up with a good book in the home’s parlour, or spend a few cosy hours watching a movie in the cinema snug. 

On warm and dry days, a typical English summer barbecue is in order. So light the charcoals and cook up a smoky, delicious feast. If the weather means this isn’t possible, then the kitchen has plenty of space to create an equally as fantastic meal (and it even has two dishwashers). Then, after a family dinner, unwind with a relaxing bath in the freestanding bathtubs before it’s time to sleep in four-poster elegance.

Experience a rare treat – a stay at a truly grand stately home, nestled in the middle of a beautiful country estate, steeped in history and offering more than a taste of luxury. A filming location for Netflix’s uber-popular hit, The Crown, this home will make you feel like royalty from the moment you arrive. 

Dating back to the Saxon times, the house as it appears today was created during the reign of Queen Victoria, with the help of the visionary architect, John Thomas and renowned landscape designer William Andrews Nesfield. As you arrive you’ll be dazzled by the spectacular gardens, known as one of the finest in the country – guests will be able to spend hours wandering through the enchanted alleyways, exploring the maze and the parkland and cooling off in the wild freshwater pool. 

The main Hall will welcome you in lavish style – great rooms with grand pianos, a library with rare, gilded books, and dining rooms with long tables for the group to gather and celebrate special occasions or delicious family feasts served in true style. You'll be able to sample those unforgettable menus, created by a team of chefs who use only the best local and sustainably sourced produce. Each of the twelve bedrooms retains the character of a Victorian mansion with a collection of antique furniture that’s seen many esteemed guests stay here over the home's long history. If only these walls could talk! 

Outside, this family-run estate offers everything from bike trails, horse stables and woodland walks, to cocktail classes, wine tastings and foraging. The grand rewilding project has seen 1,000 acres become home to an abundance of wildlife, making a stay here a unique experience for nature lovers too. 

Lords & Ladies

Desk

This charming apartment found in Norfolk is a fantastic rest point during your adventures away. The large windows in the living space light up every corner, allowing you to get cosy on the sofa as you open up that brand new book. Pop the TV on to binge the latest Netflix series or watch a classic on Disney+. Homecooked meals can be enjoyed by the windows with a lovely view of the surrounding buildings as you tuck into breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Head to the balcony to unwind with an energising cup of coffee or even a bottle of red – treat yourself. If you're fancying a duvet day, you can swing open the balcony door in the bedroom to feel that cooling breeze.

You'll be situated in the beautiful resort town of Great Yarmouth where you can find a ton of delicious eateries from around the world as well as many shops to browse. Wander the streets to discover the amazing choice of museums and art galleries too, such as the National Trust Elizabethan House and the riverside Yare Gallery. Great Yarmouth Beach is only a walk away for a day spent on the beach, followed by a tasty treat at Sara's Tearoom.

Ocean Treats

Breakfast Included

This rustic home has the charm of a contemporary farmhouse. Situated in the historic county of Norfolk, you'll feel right at home in this quaint village. The wooden beams and brick feature walls boost the natural vibes, perfectly matching the local area. Cook up a homemade Shepherds Pie for lunch in the kitchen with products bought from Colman's Farm shop. 

Speaking of the farm shop, why not spend time browsing the local products on offer? We love finding treasured businesses like this. Take the family to the nearby beach or challenge your children to a game of Adventure Golf, followed by a spicy curry at Planet Spice to tickle those tastebuds.

After a short drive home, pop a movie on the TV and snuggle up with a hot drink and a blanket – or maybe even a glass of red if you're feeling fruity.

Large groups looking to explore the expansive Norfolk landscape will love all that this stunning Georgian home has to offer. Located just a fifteen-minute walk from the charming village of Somerleyton, with its grand hall and traditional pubs, there's plenty to see and do in the area – walking, and cycle paths, boats for hire in St. Olaves. The nearest beach is a quick ten-minute drive away, while the lovely seaside towns of Gorleston and Great Yarmouth are approximately twenty minutes in the car. But we really wouldn't blame you if you stayed put at home. After all, the main house boasts a pool table, a large lounge, an impressive dining room and four elegant bedrooms. On top of that, guests can delight in sweeping views of Waveney Valley. Wander out into the sprawling picturesque garden, and you’ll find a rustic fire pit and wood-burning hot tub to pass the time in. There’s also a delightful shepherd's hut where two additional guests can stay, providing an intimate space to enjoy a little more peace, quiet and privacy close to nature. Reconnect with the countryside at this lovely retreat and explore the Norfolk Broads and Suffolk Heritage Coast.

Somerleyton

An idyllic countryside escape, this home is perfectly set up for a group of friends or family looking to explore the Norfolk Broads and the Suffolk Heritage Coast. This Georgian property includes a beautiful sunroom with a pool table, a comfortable sitting room, and four magical bedrooms. Gather your ensemble for a games night in the dazzling conservatory with elegant grey furnishings, vintage record prints and large picture windows, or spend cosier, more intimate evenings curled up in front of the crackling fireplace with a good book in the lounge. Overlooking Waveney Valley, you'll be surrounded by farms, fields and meadows that make for wonderful countryside walks. You're also just a short fifteen-minute amble from the charming village of Somerleyton with its grand hall and fantastic pubs. Here, you'll also find tranquil footpaths and scenic cycling routes that crisscross the stunning countryside. Five minutes up the road, St. Olaves is the place to go to hire a boat for a relaxing day on the river. Meanwhile, the beaches of Gorleston and Great Yarmouth are around a twenty-minute drive. With its serene setting and well-connected location, you're in for a truly relaxing holiday. 

Somerleyton Meadows

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

Getting out to the countryside is a treat on its own – add some rescued horses (there's an on-site horse sanctuary) and a 400-acre estate to roam, and we are sold. This cosy home sits on the Broads National Park border, which boasts over 125 miles of tranquil rivers and lakes that you can explore. Fritton Lake is a six-minute drive or a thirty-minute walk – spend a day out kayaking, or head out to the Norfolk beaches – Lowestoft and Great Yarmouth are both around twenty minutes in the car. 

When you return, this home will greet you like a hot cup of cocoa – the muted wall colours are soothing. Whip up some dinner with some fresh, local Norfolk produce and enjoy the fruits of your labour at the dining table. This place is ideal for a family – there are board games aplenty to keep everyone occupied. The master bedroom even has a jacuzzi-style bath, inviting you to have a soak after a long country walk.



Stables and Pastels

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

This cozy Norfolk holiday cottage is the perfect escape for a family of four and their four-legged friends. The location offers miles of walks on the famously dog-friendly Winterton Dunes and beach, with easy and beautiful circular walks available as well. The house features a wood-burning stove in the lounge, which also includes a flat-screen TV, Blu Ray DVD player, CD player/radio/Bluetooth, and Alexa Echo Dot. The kitchen is generously sized with all appliances included and a table and chairs to seat four. There are two bedrooms upstairs: the front bedroom has two single beds, while the back bedroom boasts a solid oak king-size bed with an excellent view of the dunes. Outside, there is off-road parking for one car, with space for another nearby. The yard is fully enclosed with 6ft gate and fencing all around, making it very secure. The village has a dog-friendly pub, cafes, small stores, and a fish & chip shop. Short breaks are available year-round with discounts for single occupancy.

Embellishing Images

Looking at this modern home, set in the rural countryside of Norfolk, you might not be fully convinced of its former life as a dilapidated cattle farm, but the clues are there if you know where to look. The wooden beams, for one, add plenty of character and warmth, and so does the exposed brick.

The other benefit of it having been a farm, is that there is acreage for days. In almost every direction you look, you’ll be met with untamed flora to make mornings seated out front with a fresh coffee the sort of peaceful affair you need to fully unwind. On balmier days, spend time out barbecuing, a local cider in hand, or if that seems like too much effort, open the bifold doors and let the breeze into the living area where we hope you’ll be plopped on the sofa with a good book.

Between this gorgeous space – inside and out – and the hot tub, you might not have time for much else, but don’t let the quintessential pub visit stay on the bucket list. Besides, there’s nothing like a fish and chip lunch after a visit to one of the sandy beaches. 

Thorpe Barn

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. 


Beloved Barn

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 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.

Herb Garden

There are too many good things about The Hobart Spring to list, but suffice to say that it’s every bit as good as it looks. Most of the buildings date to the 1470s, when Sir James Hobart (later attorney general to the king) built his family home. Our favourite room (not an easy decision) is the kitchen, which looks beautifully traditional, but alongside the Aga, has an electric oven, gas hob, espresso machine and more. You can also pick herbs from the raised beds in the back. Either as a gateway to the Broads, or as a destination in itself, you can’t go wrong.

The Hobart Spring

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.

Joys of Spring

Tucked way in a village three miles outside Lowestoft, this restored Victorian lodge ticks all the boxes – a homey living space, a quaint kitchen with everything you need to cook and an excellent location just a ten-minute walk from Corton Beach. As warm and inviting as the lounge is – and with a wood-burning fire and overstuffed sofa, it's downright cosy – the private garden is the star of the show. There's plenty of tables to sit and enjoy a cup of tea in the morning light, while the summer house is a sweet spot to unwind after a day of exploring. Simply fire up the barbecue and enjoy an alfresco dinner as the sun sets before retreating inside to the comfortable bedrooms. On your doorstep is Corton Woods, a local nature reserve that's perfect for scenic walks with the whole family (including dogs!), not to mention the North Sea coast if you want to sprawl out in the sand. Mix things up with a day at the local amusement park – it's five minutes away by car – or drive ten minutes into Lowestoft for seaside eateries, shopping, pubs and museums. It's the most easterly point in the UK, making it the first place to see the sunrise – early birds won't want to miss it.

Parking On Premises

With its thatched roof and rural village location, this former barn, dating back to 1790, is now a sweet homely hideout for two. The open-plan living space is made for hunkering down – curl up on the plump leather sofa with a cup of tea, then sit down to a hearty meal at the oak dining table. In warm weather, step out onto the patio and soak up the glorious sunshine. 

If you’re keen to explore, grab your binoculars and head over to Upton Fen to catch sight of buzzards and march harriers. When nothing but a crisp pint in a pub garden will do, the White Horse is a fifteen-minute walk away. Spend balmy afternoons strolling along the unspoilt beaches of Caister-on-Sea, reached in twenty minutes by car, or head into the city of Norwich to sample the fantastic selection of independent shops, cafes and restaurants.

Dating back as far as the 1470s when Sir James Hobart (a confidante of Henry VII) built a family estate, This home is one of the most spectacular places we’ve ever seen and truly perfect for family gatherings, breaks away with friends, weddings, and more. Step into history oozing with the finest luxury afforded to the home's guests, including ample space as, on top of the main hall, there’s also the Gatehouse, the Cottage, and the Garden Rooms, as well a separate barn for hosting events, and of course the grounds. The history of this home has been preserved immaculately, while at the same time, modern comforts are around every corner. Either as a gateway to the Broads, or as a destination in itself, you can’t go wrong.

The facilities available at the hall are second to none, with no need or whim uncatered for, including perfectly equipped kitchens, games room, library, a wealth of entertainment, cosy open fires and woodburners, lawns and meadows, and even a moat, and should you wish to prize yourself away from this phenomenal home and head on out to explore, the bustling seaside town of Great Yarmouth is just a twenty-seven-minute drive away, while the Norwich city centre can be reached in twenty-two minutes by car, and is perfect for those shopping needs. We highly recommend trying out the cosy pubs around the area for a good pint and perfect company.

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.

One with the Blooms

Life is but a dream at this lovely cottage set on the sprawling estate of Worlingham Hall. Completely secluded from the Grade I-listed Georgian manor at the heart of the grounds, this home is a unique blend of country charm and plush extravagance. From the snug study – complete with a leather-topped desk and high-backed office chair – every room here feels warm, cosy and just a little bit decadent. Host Tommaso has a passion for antiques – mainly British, Chinese and Tibetan furniture – which only adds to the stately atmosphere. After a day spent wandering the 448 acres of private woodland in your backyard, pop a bottle of bubbly and idle away lazy summer evenings in the lush private garden. In winter, snuggle up on the sumptuous leather sofas with an engrossing book and a fire roaring in the brick hearth. Worlingham lies between Norfolk and Suffolk – an ideal spot for exploring both the idyllic countryside and stunning coastline – while Beccles, a pretty market town boasting an array of quaint tea rooms, charming pubs and independent shops, is just a short thirteen-minute drive away.

As you'd expect from a lighthouse cottage (built in 1680), this home has sea views from the private garden and the living space. We love that the bedroom has been formed from the circular base of the lighthouse tower (though the bathroom is back up the stairs off the living room). And the good news is this lighthouse doesn't have a fog signal, so you won't be woken in the middle of the night. When you feel like exploring, a ten-minute stroll along the coastal path will take you to the North Norfolk town of Cromer, with its sandy beach and an array of shops and restaurants. Or for golf lovers, adjacent to the lighthouse is a golf course.

Sea Salt Harmony

With farmland to the front and the owner’s beautiful private nature reserve behind – this gorgeous home, part of a cluster of mill buildings, is in an idyllic spot. 

Take a stroll through winding footpaths of the reserve that meander through meadows and forests of giant cedars and ancient oaks. In spring, you’ll see enchanting carpets of bluebells, primroses and daffodils, but whatever time of year you come, you’ll be treated to an array of wildlife, from chaffinches to woodpeckers. There are maps to find the footpaths going onwards to Snape Maltings, just over two miles away, and to the sea at Aldeburgh (or it’s seven minutes in the car). You can borrow some bikes too if you prefer to cycle.

You don’t have to go anywhere to get some fresh air, though. There’s a lovely old cobbled, sunny courtyard where clematis and wisteria clamber up the walls – it’s the perfect spot to enjoy the welcome hamper of breakfast goodies. There’s another patio area, too, with fragrant rambling roses – ideal for a glass of wine.

The home itself is a sympathetic conversion of a stable and grain store. We adore the character features inside, such as the traditional 17th Century Suffolk white brick flooring, wood-panelled walls and old oak floorboards. Part of the original manger has been incorporated into the wall dividing the kitchen and the living space area – a lovely touch. Open the stable doors here and listen to the blackbirds singing at dusk. Furnished with antiques, this cottage will appeal to couples and pet owners looking for a luxurious country bolthole.


Blackbirds Singing At Dusk

We can see why this cottage was in The Sunday Times' Coolest 100 Cottages' list – it's a Jacobean dream, full of original character and quirky features. Once home to the miller of Plomesgate Mill, it now houses wonderful antiques, such as a fantastic 1700s Breton bed built straight into the wall, a gorgeous oak four-poster and a working 1800s kitchen range. 

Enjoy a tasty full English breakfast (courtesy of the welcome hamper provided by your lovely hosts Beverley and Martin) in the farmhouse style kitchen. Or when the Suffolk sun is shining, dine in the pretty, wisteria clad courtyard. If you’re lucky enough to be here in August and September, there's a mulberry bush in the grounds that guests are welcome to pick fruit from – perfect for making some jam or muffins.

Something else we adore here is the owner’s beautiful private nature reserve behind this home. Take the dogs for a walk through the meandering footpaths that wind through meadows and ancient woodland. In spring, you’ll see captivating carpets of cheerful daffodils, bluebells and primroses. Whatever time of year you come, though, you’ll be treated to an array of wildlife, from nuthatches to woodpeckers.
 
There are maps to find the footpaths going onwards to Snape Maltings, an arts complex on the banks of the River Alde, just over two miles away. Or head to Aldeburgh (seven minutes in the car) – you can borrow some bikes and cycle there in around thirty minutes too.
