Enjoying a wonderfully scenic and unique location set amongst the trees of a beautiful family owned fruit orchard just outside the pretty coastal village of Burnham Overy Staithe, this natural shepherd’s hut is perfectly placed for exploring the North Norfolk coast – ideal for couples craving an escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. This secluded spot in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is just 1.5 miles from the coast and Burnham Overy village itself boasts a charming creek-side harbour, unspoilt salt marshes and beaches. Keen nature enthusiasts can catch the ferry from the Quay to Scolt Head Island, a bird and seal sanctuary, or walk the vast expanse of sands and pine woods at the nearby famous Holkham Beach. Visit the vibrant village of Burnham Market under 2 miles away, which offers a village-style green surrounded by striking Georgian buildings and a wide selection of independent shops and cafes, the perfect spot for a peaceful picnic amidst a warming rural village ambience.
Up the wooden steps and through the characterful barn-style door, you’ll find a haven of homely charm within this cosy shepherd’s hut. The light and airy open-plan living and sleeping space embraces the rich heritage and ambience of the local scenery; the roaring feature wood burner sets the scene for pure relaxation on those cooler evenings. The compact kitchen and fold-down dining table provide everything you need to enjoy a romantic meal, whilst the cosy double bed tucked away in its own secluded spot beckons tired travellers to relax and unwind amongst its crisp, white linens at the end of a busy day. The dedicated shower room combines rustic charm with contemporary elegance.
Soak up the last of the evening’s sunshine amongst the soothing sounds of birdsong as you dine al fresco on the quaint outdoor dining set in the open seating area beside the hut. Fire up the open fire BBQ to get creative with your fabulous local produce before staying up past sundown to stargaze in the clear, dark skies amongst the fruit trees. Please note that as the hut is located within an orchard that is not enclosed, all dogs must be kept on leads for safety.
