A fabulous, spacious cottage located in the historic village of Castle Acre. The village offers a fish and chip shop, pub, convenience store, and café. It makes a perfect base for visiting the priory, which dates back to the 11th century and is one of the largest and best-preserved monastic sites in England, and the walled castle, built in the 12th century by the Normans. Locally there are some fantastic walks, excellent cycling routes and fishing at Great Massingham. Also visit the impressive 12th-century castle at Castle Rising, 14 miles away. Spend time at the Sandringham Estate, 14.5 miles away, where you can explore the 600-acre parkland grounds and follow trails. Plan a day trip to the North Norfolk coast with wide expanses of sandy beaches at Brancaster, 21 miles away, and the traditional seaside resort of Hunstanton, 23 miles away.
Step inside and you will immediately feel at home and start to unwind in this much-loved holiday home. Welcoming and relaxing, the emphasis is on comfort and quality both upstairs and down with contemporary styling throughout.

Through an arch and down a couple of steps and you’ll find the dining room, a great social space for sharing stories from your daytime adventures and planning the days ahead. The kitchen is well-equipped to cater for all your culinary needs and there’s a small table to enjoy a quick breakfast at before heading out exploring. A shower room completes the ground floor.
