Tucked away in the countryside in Norfolk is the sleepy village of Hindringham, where this peaceful holiday cottage is located. Explore the picturesque Hindringham Hall Gardens next door to the barn, or head 5 miles north and you’ll reach the golden sandy shores of the Norfolk Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Enjoying a peaceful rural location, the closest shop to the cottage is 2 miles away and the pub is 1 mile away.

The large wooden breakfast table seats 12. Looking out through the French doors, you can see the decked veranda with more seating for dining alfresco.
