Couples seeking a romantic break or families seeking adventure will find all of their boxes ticked in this peaceful rural retreat, an idyllic choice surrounded by the scenic beauty of the South Norfolk countryside. The surrounding village of Banham is as charming as they come, located in the Breckland area of Norfolk, which boasts open sandy heathland brimming with wildlife, a haven for keen birdwatchers and nature lovers on daily dog walks. The neighbouring 50-acre Banham Zoo, set in beautiful parkland, provides a fun family day out. A versatile choice offering all kinds of days out, the local Thetford Forest (16 miles) is a highlight for both slow, meandering walks and adrenaline-pumping activities. It’s got endless tree-lined footpaths, a wide selection of spectacular wildlife, and mountain biking trails and canopy-top obstacle courses that younger guests (and the young at heart!) will adore.
All your creature comforts are at your fingertips in the studio-style open-plan living/kitchen/dining/sleeping layout of this home-away-from-home. A large set of French doors seamlessly blends indoor and outdoor living, embracing the beauty of your stunning setting and flooding the interior with light. Characterful touches, including a curved ceiling, combined with contemporary décor add a sense of heritage and charm, setting the scene for true relaxation. Plan tomorrow’s adventure seated around the contemporary dining set or hunker down for the evening on the sumptuous sofa. Wherever you’re sat, you’ll find Rover curled up in a cosy spot nearby, drifting off with the day’s activities still fresh in mind. The compact kitchenette is perfect for rustling up a tasty breakfast or packing up a delicious picnic before beginning your day’s adventure. Off to one side, a cosy sleeping nook adds a versatile finish to the space. It’s a king-size bed with two single beds above it in a bunk bed formation, making it an ideal choice for couples or small families, eager to get a good night’s sleep ahead of fun-filled days. Finally, a contemporary wet room completes this rural retreat.
Whether you enjoy dining alfresco or simply sipping your morning coffee amongst the breeze, the pretty decked terrace provides a wonderfully peaceful spot to enjoy during the warmer months. There is designated parking behind the shepherd’s cabin.
