Located in the heart of Norfolk’s Broadland countryside, Wickhampton is a peaceful village that feels almost untouched by time, offering quiet lanes to explore and a warm rural community ambience.

Leave your shoes and coats in the welcoming entrance porchway before heading through to the cosy lounge, which is brimming with statement features. The gorgeous, exposed brickwork fireplace, the wood burner and stunning beamed ceiling set the scene for a tranquil holiday. The adjoining kitchen/diner enjoys a contemporary country cottage style finish. A small pantry cupboard and boot room off the kitchen provide plenty of space for your local produce and holiday essentials.

Beautiful location and the cottage was a delight. The garden is very secure and dog friendly. A perfect break to get away from it all. I was very impressed with the standard and the bed provided an excellent night's sleep!

Nice cottage, dark skys, no night time noise the new bits have been done well but the old bits need updating especially the old oil boiler which explodes into life every few minutes. The large bath is useless as only enough water is available to fill it to about 12 cm deep. The welcome hamper is one of the best that we have seen. Enough items to Read moreproduce a simple meal including wine. The garden is secure for the dogs, The local wildlife is nice to see. The bedding was the only real problem. A strong scented fabric softener had been used, needed the windows open all night and extra dose of antihystomean the be able to sleep through the night. Generally good place to stay Hide
