About this property

The Potting Shed and Bothy, Ringstead, Norfolk

Accommodating twelve guests, this hideaway comprises of The Potting Shed, a peaceful and elegant detached property, plus a truly unique garden annexe, The Bothy. Situated in the charming village of Ringstead, the stunning sandy beaches at Old Hunstanton and Holme-next-the-Sea are just two miles away. Featuring an impressive vaulted ceiling with floor to ceiling glass bi-fold doors, the main property is great for entertaining.

Curated with beautiful interiors styled using a muted colour palette throughout, The Potting Shed and Bothy perfectly captures the essence of country living by the sea. With views across open countryside to the front and rear of the property, guests feel nestled into this relaxing environment. This exceptionally well appointed and unique property provides a tranquil escape for all the family to unwind together, whether for a short break to celebrate a special occasion, or for a longer stay.

On the ground floor, the feature of this home is the extraordinary open-plan kitchen / dining area. Full length bi-fold doors open out to the delightful mature gardens, inviting the outside in. The well-equipped kitchen provides the ideal stage for any enthusiastic chefs to cook up a feast from a plethora of the local ingredients the area is famed for. For meals out, the outstanding local village pub is just a short walk away. A cosy dual aspect sitting room offers ample seating appointed around an ornate fireplace with wood burning stove.

Bedrooms two and three have king-size beds, with bedroom two served by a en-suite bathroom.

Situated in the garden, The Bothy is a funky annexe that accommodates a further two guests. Beautifully styled fusing rustic and romantic accents, exposed oak beams combined with soft sheepskin rugs. With a double bed, this annexe is ideal for privacy from the group for a couple or two older children. On chillier evenings, snuggle up in front of the bioethanol freestanding living flame fire. A well-equipped kitchen and an impressive wet room with monsoon shower complete this unique accommodation.

Big Family Weekend

Great spot for a family get together. Beach only a few miles away and local services we’ll within reach. The addition of the Bothy made it possible to have all the guests we wanted stay over with us. We were blessed with incredible weather all weekend and the facilities at the Potting Shed meant we were able to enjoy our time both inside and outside. Thanks to an amazing kitchen-diner we catered for twelve very easily. Left with a little bit of kitchen envy and memories of a fantastic weekend. Cheers.

Lovely Oct half term break

Our party of 8 + 1 dog had a lovely stay over the half term holidays. The property is very well appointed and homely. Loved the open plan kitchen space and managed to make good use of the garden. Teenagers were able to back and forth between the main house and the Bothy which made a great space for them during the day. Really enjoyed the feel of the house - with all the lovely touches (eg candles, diffusers, books, games) it felt like a home. For us the sitting room was slightly small for all of our party to enjoy - fine with either just adults or just kids but was a squeeze with all 8 in the space. Would definitely recommend - it's a great location, walkable distance to pub, local shop, playground and very good for Peddlar's way walks. Would love to get back there soon!
