Whether you’re craving a peaceful couples retreat or a family getaway, this bespoke shepherd’s cabin situated on a Countryside Park provides a place to call home surrounded by the breathtaking South Norfolk countryside. The quaint surrounding village of Banham is located in the unspoilt area of Breckland, where you’ll find sandy heathland and wildlife habitats, ideal for couples eager to enjoy slow, meandering nature trails with their dog. There is a fabulous selection of independent shops in the village, and you’re just 8 miles away from the thriving market town of Diss, where you can pick up some locally sourced produce to enjoy at home. When visiting in the summer holidays, Banham Zoo, located within the grounds, is a local highlight, and discounted access is available throughout your stay. Younger visitors will also adore mountain biking, canopy-top obstacle courses and nature trails at the local Thetford Forest (16 miles).
Set among other idyllic shepherd’s cabins, this inviting rural escape makes the most of indoor/outdoor living and enjoys a delightful contemporary finish that adds a sense of sophistication. Across the lovely, decked terrace and through the large set of French doors, you’re greeted with a light and bright studio-style open-plan living/kitchen/dining/sleeping space. The beautiful, curved ceiling adds a cosiness and homeliness that beckons tired travellers to unwind on the plush sofa. Offering family-friendly versatility, the sofa can be converted into a bed to accommodate an additional guest. The compact kitchenette provides budding chefs a space to prep some delicious local delicacies that can be enjoyed seated around the contemporary farmhouse-style dining set. Wash off a day on the local trails in the sleek, contemporary wet room before retiring to the peaceful sleeping quarters tucked away in a quiet spot to one side of the shepherd’s cabin. A king-size bed offers a sleepy spot for two to curl up, and two single beds above it make it an unforgettable choice for family escapes.
Throw open the French doors and spill out onto the picturesque, decked terrace to enjoy dining alfresco and soaking up the serenity of the surrounding scenery. There is designated parking behind the shepherd’s cabin.
