This very pretty cottage overlooks the large village green in the north Norfolk village of Aldborough. The village is something of a hidden gem. As you approach through tranquil, high-hedged lanes you are not expecting, on your arrival, the green that expands before you with Norfolk’s huge skies overhead, it is just a delight. Ivy Cottage is simply charming and offers you a wonderful welcome the moment you step through the front door. You will also notice that a four-legged friend is welcome too, with their own bed provided in the house. Cute, cosy and super well-equipped, the cottage has character, a warming wood burner, bedrooms with televisions, for that morning lie in and a detached garden – something that is normal for Norfolk! Within walking distance of The Black Boys, which is a good pub/restaurant that additionally runs a takeaway service, there is also a village shop for everyday essentials, a play area for youngsters and an open-air table tennis table on the green and if you want to while away a sunny summer’s afternoon, you could stop to watch the cricket. The cottage will capture your heart and the village will be one you will want to return to again to enjoy that get-away-from-it-all experience. Shop/Pub: within walking distance

Aldborough is an attractive village nestled into north Norfolk, close to the coast and many other tourist attractions in the locality. The surrounding lanes are 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.
