The space
Light and airy one bedroom ground level cottage annex with double bed, ensuite bathroom with shower over bath, fully equipped kitchen, with coffee machine, oven and microwave, open plan living room area with large single sofa bed and direct access to the garden. The annex is attached to the owner's character cottage and has privacy with its own private entrance, and off road parking and is fully self-contained, with high ceilings and a bright, modern feel.
Guest access
This is an entire self contained space with its own private entrance and fully equipped kitchen with washing machine. the property is situated in the heart of a quiet village. a couple of minutes down the lane is the river Bure and meadow walks. You can walk along the river for miles; you may come across the odd herd of cows!). The Bure Valley path runs through the meadows along the miniature steam railway line to Wroxham or to Aylsham. You can catch the train in the next village by request, to take you to the Broads (with connections to Norwich) or to the neighbouring market town of Aylsham.
Other things to note
The annex has its own parking, with car port and use of part of the private garden. There is a dryer and freezer in the garage for guests use by prior agreement.
There is no pub or shop in the village and although its a nice (in daylight) 30-40 minute walk to Aylsham or shorter cycle ride along the Bure valley path, you need to have a car to get to the nearest shop/pub/ amenities.

Peaceful stay in the countryside

We stayed for 5 weeks. The annex was well equipped and had everything we needed. Situated in a quiet location in a small village with walks from the doorstep. We enjoyed the outside space provided by the garden. Our host was friendly, easily contactable and helpful.

Kate our host was always helpful and considerate. The local area is green and very peaceful. The annexe had everything we needed for our 12 week stay. We slept well as the bed was comfortable. The internet wasn’t always reliable but there are other things to do. Thank you Kate.

Quiet relaxing cottage. Great place to chill

Our main interest in the area were gardens, cycling and history of some the great stately homes. Houghton and Holkham are a must. Near by also Blickling. Broads in cycling distance. The cottage has a lovely open plan kitched/diner, come living area.. Outside table and chairs to dine outside enjoy the garden and fields beyond. Wifi was good. TV offered Amazon, Netflex BBC iplayer and ITV x. Suited us well.
