The Stables is a wonderful mid-19th Century brick and flint cottage in a classic setting, overlooking the village green and cricket pitch, with a pub just a few strides away. There is also a good village shop & post office and a children's play area on the far side of the green, making the property perfect for a couples or family holiday. Completely refurbished, the owners have created a gorgeous retreat with character and comfort in mind. One of the delights of the cottage, is the garden, which is a sun trap and has a summer house and a small arbour seat, just the spot to read that book you've been meaning to catch up on. Mainly on one level, with one or two internal steps here and there, comfortable beds, cosy sofas and a lovely open plan dining/kitchen space are waiting to welcome you in. There is a wood burner in the living room and in the summer, sit on the front bench and watch the local teams put willow bat to ball.

Aldborough is a gem to discover. The approach from any direction is through high hedged country lanes that shelter the route in. As you come to the centre, you will see a huge village green nestled under big Norfolk skies; it is a captivating sight. There is an excellent children's play area, a good village pub that does take away meals and an eclectic village shop & post office for everyday needs. The area is great for cycling and walking, the Weavers Way passes through the village and the coast at Cromer, with its iconic Pier and sandy Blue Flag beach, is less than a 20-minute drive away. There is golf, the Amazona Zoo and a surf school here too, if you want to learn a new skill. The National Trust houses and parks at Felbrigg and Blickling are a fun day out, and the lovely Georgian town of Holt with its numerous independent shops, great food hall, cafe culture, antique shops and art galleries is a spot not to miss. It is also the gateway to the north Norfolk coastline much of which is a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and there are some pretty, coastal villages to discover. Cley-next-the-Sea with its famous windmill, Blakeney with its marshes, quayside and seal trips and the charm of Wells-next-the-Sea are just a few you should visit during your stay in this idyllic part of Norfolk.
