This delightful lodge invites couples or a group of friends for a blissful break away from everyday life in the small, rural village of Oxborough. The tastefully presented holiday home is part of The Old Rectory Estate, neighbouring Oxburgh Hall with its medieval manor house and Victorian garden. Swaffham is 8 miles away, offering plenty of places to eat and drink, and independent shops to browse. For guests who love wildlife, Welney Wetland Centre is 16 miles away, or visit the Watatunga Wildlife Reserve (12 miles) to experience a Norfolk safari. The historic town of King’s Lynn is 17 miles away, where you can explore the town’s spectacular architecture and find numerous places to eat. If it’s a bit of culture and history you’re after, the much-loved country retreat of the royal family, Sandringham, is 20 miles away. For a day at the beach, the nearest stretch of sand is at Snettisham (27 miles), and from there you can drive along the stunning North Norfolk coastline.
Offering cosy and light-filled accommodation for up to four adult guests, this stylish, single-storey retreat provides a welcoming atmosphere. The relaxing lounge has large, comfy sofas, ideal for reclining after long days exploring. Warm your toes in front of the wood burner with a good book, and flick on the Smart TV for evening entertainment. The well-appointed kitchen provides all the necessary mod-cons, so you can prepare home-cooked meals to be enjoyed at the breakfast bar. When day turns to night, the master bedroom has a king-size bed and patio doors to let in the fresh air whilst you enjoy breakfast in bed. The second bedroom has a double bed, and the family bathroom boasts a large walk-in shower; completing the interior.
Outside, find a private, lawned garden with garden furniture and a gas BBQ to enjoy al fresco dining. There is very little light pollution here, making it ideal for stargazing from the private, wood-fired hot tub. If you’re feeling energetic, there’s a shared well-equipped gym. There are plenty of places to explore on the 18-acre estate including the river, a lake with a rowing boat, a picnic area, resident animals and the ruins of the original Oxborough village church.
