Found in the coastal village of Sea Palling, this home is ideally positioned to explore some of the best scenery that Norfolk has to offer. Before you adventure through your surroundings, drop your bags, get the fire roaring and make yourself comfortable in the cosy living space. Should you start to feel peckish, there’s a fully-equipped kitchen at your disposal – take your plates outside to the well-kept garden if the sun shines. Once you’re refuelled and raring to go, frolic on Sea Palling’s Blue Flag beach before quenching your thirst with a well-deserved pint at Reefs Bar, a ten-minute stroll from your doorstep. Just beyond the village, you’ll find designated bridleways and a National Cycle Route if you’d prefer to explore on two wheels. Jump in the car and visit The Broads’ picturesque waterways, a twenty-five-minute drive away or pop down the coast to visit the pups at Horsey Seal Colony – and be sure to try the food at the 1940’s inspired tearoom.

Whether you’re exploring the Norman-era Norwich Castle, gazing up at the soaring arches of the eleventh-century Norwich Cathedral, or admiring the Tudor buildings along Elm Hill, Norwich’s prosperous past is easy to see.
