Enjoy a luxury, home-from-home style retreat for the whole family in the charmingly quaint setting of South Raynham in the picturesque county of Norfolk. Surrounded by stunning countryside, this idyllic village provides visitors with a myriad of activities to enjoy. Nature enthusiasts can explore the breath-taking Raynham Estate (2 miles), complete with beautiful walking trails, historic buildings, and delightful gardens. For a taste of history, travellers can visit the nearby market town of Fakenham (5 miles), famous for its traditional markets and vintage shops. Just a short drive away, the stunning Norfolk coastline (14 miles) beckons with its sandy beaches at Wells-next-the-Sea with its infamous beach huts, and marshlands at Burnham Overy Staithe (16 miles), ideal for long walks, birdwatching, or simply enjoying the local eateries. Pensthorpe Nature Reserve (8.5 miles) makes for the perfect family day out, with activities for all the family to enjoy. Make the most of the many private amenities this beautiful property has to offer for your large group of friends or family, with access to all the best parts of Norfolk to explore.

Upon entering, you are greeted by a stunning open-plan kitchen/diner, complete with a modern Nordic breakfast bar and a dining table to seat all guests. You will also find a convenient utility room next door to wash those sandy bits and bobs. There is an elegant sitting room to be found, with comfortable seating and SkyGlass TV to cosy up by the wood burning stove with on those chillier nights. The bungalow is equipped with baby-friendly equipment, hot tub glasses for those more excitable evenings, as well as dog beds, towels and bowls for your furry friends. There are five beautifully presented bedrooms, all offering flexible sleeping arrangements to suit every group. The master suite boasts a plush super king-size bed with an en-suite that houses a luxurious bath and separate shower with double sink; this bedroom opens up onto the patio area for you to enjoy your morning cuppa and an evening sunset from the hot tub. There are two further well-presented bedrooms, including super king-size beds and en-suite shower rooms. Finally, the last two bedrooms include a king-size and a family room with a super king-size zip-and-link bed with bunk beds. These two spacious bedrooms share the use of a large family bathroom with close access to the kitchen and sitting room.

The star of the show at this bungalow is the indoor heated pool with sliding doors that open onto a luxurious patio where the jacuzzi hot tub sits pride of place. All under one roof, guests also have access to their very own private games room which also includes a bar and kids' area as well as gym equipment. The garden includes a lawned area, boasting a beautiful lavender scent, all fully enclosed for your doggy guests.

We had a wonderful weekend celebrating both a 70th birthday and a Golden Wedding. There were twelve of us - seven adults, five children and two dogs with ages ranging from four years to seventy three and everyone had a really good time. Very clean property with excellent facilities. Castle Acre castle and Priory are worth a visit and allow the youRead morenger ones to run off steam. We also visited Wells Next The Sea, always a lovely place to go. We had a wonderful evening meal at Sculthorpe Mill which is in a lovely setting and an excellent lunch at The Red Lion in Cromer before going our separate ways and driving home. Hide
