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.

About The Broads
Straddling both Norfolk and Suffolk, The Broads now house over a quarter of the UK’s rarest animals and plants, with water voles, cuckoos and European eel all found among its habitats. Yet the winding rivers and broads haven’t always been here – they were created in the Middle Ages when peat workings were flooded.
