This attractive retreat forms part of The Old Rectory Estate and offers stylish accommodation for couples or a group of friends throughout. Situated in Oxborough; a picturesque, rural village in Norfolk, guests are just 8 miles from the market town of Swaffham with lots of great places to eat and drink, and independent shops to browse. If it’s a bit of culture and history you’re after, there are a variety of National Trust places nearby including Oxburgh Hall on your doorstep featuring a medieval manor house and Victorian garden, or the much-loved country retreat of the royal family, Sandringham (20 miles). The nearest beach can be found at Snettisham (27 miles), so make a day of it and drive along the stunning North Norfolk coastline with its sand dunes, clifftop walks, sandy beaches, picturesque quays, and salt marshes. Visit the Watatunga Wildlife Reserve (12 miles) to experience a Norfolk safari in which the animals roam free among 170 acres of countryside.
You’ll feel instantly at home in this welcoming and tastefully presented cottage. The well-equipped kitchen has everything needed to whip up a home-cooked meal and a sit-up island for dining – or chatting to the chosen chef. The chic lounge provides a wonderful space for cosying up in front of the wood burner in the cooler months and enjoying a movie night on the Smart TV. With calming decor and sumptuous sofas, this is a delightful spot to while away an evening. When day turns to night, walk through to the master bedroom with its plush king-size bed and patio doors to the garden. The second bedroom boasts a welcoming double bed, while the well-appointed family bathroom with a walk-in shower completes the interior.
Outside is a private lawned garden with garden furniture and a gas BBQ for those warmer days in the sunshine. Whatever the weather, hop into the wood-fired hot tub and soak amongst the bubbles. The 18-acre estate offers lots of opportunities for walking and biking. You can also meet the resident animals including sheep, geese, chickens, and pigs. A rowing boat can be used on the lake and there is a shared picnic area. The original Oxborough village church is situated within the grounds and guests can visit the ruins dating back to the year 946. There is also a gym for guests that wish to work up a sweat on holiday.
