Nestled into the heart of The Broads National Park, this charming and distinctive holiday home for four, is a stylish retreat, set within the grounds of a grand country house. Families and friends will enjoy holidaying in this beautiful house full of character yet with a modern twist. At the entrance you are greeted by a suntrap courtyard that has plenty of seating for outdoor eating on warmer days. As you enter, walk over the threshold into the hub of the house; a modern and decorative kitchen dining space, that is well equipped and full of light. Unusually, the living room is on the first floor. It is a spacious room with a wood burner and offers a Smart TV with Sky. The two bedrooms are generously proportioned offering a king size and a double bed, and the elegant bathroom is just the place for a long soak after a good walk. Across the courtyard there is a further courtyard garden for guests’ use, that overlooks the cutting garden for the house. With additional seating and a barbeque, this is just the spot for a late evening drink and a bit of star-gazing. Shops: 5 miles/Pub: 1 mile

Dilham is a sleepy Broadland village tucked into an attractive landscape at the top of The Broads National Park. There are meandering walks around Dilham, Honing and East Ruston, including part of the Weavers' Way, a long-distance footpath running from Cromer on the north Norfolk coast to Great Yarmouth on the east coast. Dilham is also close to the destination pub/restaurants of The Gunton Arms and the Suffield Arms, both worth a visit for their food culture, art and atmosphere. The tiny North Walsham and Dilham canal also runs close by with canoe, kayak and paddle board hire at either Wayford Bridge, 3 miles away or at Wroxham. With over 125 miles of waterways and nature trails to discover on The Broads either via boat or on foot, there is plenty to occupy the mind and stimulate the senses. In particular, Hickling Broad, which is a naturalists haunt, where Swallowtails, Cranes, Bitterns and Harriers can be seen, as well as the elusive summer Norfolk Darter Dragonfly. East Ruston Old Vicarage Gardens for budding horticulturalists is a must see and the Bure Valley Railway is another treat with its small-gauge steam railway that runs from Wroxham to the market town of Aylsham. Aylsham also features a farmers’ market twice a week. The east coast beaches are beautiful, not overly populated, even in the summer, sandy and easily accessible. A must see is the seal colony at Horsey Gap, which is under the care of the National Trust; visit in the winter and see the new seal pups too. Also visit Winterton-On-Sea beach and take in its natural beauty or walk along the hillocks and dunes behind.
