Cottage in Norfolk sleeps 23 - private pool, fishing lake, hot tub ref 99008SC
Scotgate Cottage, Great Hockham, Norfolk
Bring together family and friends at Scotgate Cottage, a lovely restored former 1950’s cottage with five delightful bedrooms and a stunning annex, sleeping a total of 23 guests! Surrounded with breathtaking countryside views in the heart of Norfolk, a perfect holiday home for friends and family to enjoy a one-of-a kind get away together to make everlasting memories. You’ll be drawn to the beautiful five acres of countryside surrounding the cottage boasting an orchard of fruit trees, Canadian maple trees and an enchanting brick weave paving leading to the restful summer house overlooking the well-stocked carp fishing lake. The gardens at Scotgate Cottage are truly special and fully enclosed, perfect for the four-legged members of the family too!
Despite the peaceful countryside feel, this holiday cottage is the perfect entertainment place and there will undoubtedly be something that everyone will love! Take your pick from splashing in the pool, indulge in your own private spa experience with the sauna and hot tub, or stay active with outdoor the multi-sports court and table tennis in the courtyard. The fun doesn't stop there, the cottage offers a brilliant games room with its own pool table, darts board and bar (for the adults to enjoy a drink or two!). Scotgate cottage offers the best of both worlds, with three reception rooms there is plenty of living space to put your feet up and unwind too. Choose from retiring in the reading room, relish in tranquil garden room with the glorious sunshine, or fire up the logs in the cosy lounge and pick a movie from the vast selection of DVD's.
