Property code: OC-2134

Revel in the space and comfort of this delightful, detached property north of Hemblington. This fantastic two-bed house has stylish contemporary interiors in a peaceful location. It’s the ideal retreat for a couple or small family – just don’t forget your four-legged third wheel – it wouldn’t be the same without your canine friend after all. There’s access to a shared indoor pool, a private lake and woodland walks, so leave no stick unfetched! Further afield, the picturesque Norfolk Broads are yours to explore starting within 1 mile.

The attention to detail in this well-equipped house is second to none, making a truly restful retreat where you can slough off the stresses of everyday life. The sleek kitchen is spacious enough for many hands to make light work of a holiday supper before sharing it at the table set for six in this same bright and airy room. Large bi-folding doors lend an inside-outside living vibe, as they do in the spacious lounge. Two comfortable bedrooms (one king-size, one twin) have elegant furnishings and tasteful decor with additional Velux windows in the sloping ceilings. Head outside with your canine pal to the furnished patio, complete with BBQ, in the unenclosed garden.

Set tails wagging with a scenic walk beside the lake or through the woodlands on site, keeping a close eye on any kids and dogs. Or keep up your exercise regime in the shared heated swimming pool. Hire a cruiser at Brundall Marina (5 miles) to see the Broads at the perfect holiday pace from the water. Have a ball in the old-school, family-friendly resort of Great Yarmouth (14.5 miles), or head to Winterton (16 miles) for quieter walks among sand dunes with seals to spot at certain times. Norwich (9.5 miles) offers the Sainsbury Centre art museum, medieval history, Norman castle and an impressive cathedral.

Peaty cottage was a piece of heaven on earth. The place is everything we wanted and more. The house is very comfortable, large and well equipped. Nothing we would change. The living room is very comfortable and large, patio window is just great for watching passing wildlife. You really dont need a tv, views of the lake and woodland is just enoughRead more. Bedrooms are super comfy, bathroom upstairs and downstairs wet room was more than enough for 4of us to comfortably wash and hide away in the bedroom for a little bit of space for ourselves if needed. Kitchen is very well equipped ( amazing oven and microwave) large dining table that we all had comfortably our meals at. The woods in front of the property are full of wildlife and our dog loved it so much. The shared use of the swimming pool is a very welcome addition to a perfect place. Swimming pool booking system works well each cottage can have it for own use during morning or afternoon session. The owners are the kindest and most pleasant people Ive ever met. Nothing is too much of trouble.Lemon drizzle cake on arrival was a lovely personal touch. We highly recommend Peaty cottage to everyone that looks for peaceful, secluded hideaway to relax and watch the world go by. Very relaxing and 10 stars holiday that I would recommend to any of my friends or family. Hide

A very comfortable cottage equipped to a very high standard indeed, one of the best we have ever visited. Everything has been specified to the highest level.

There is a partial view of the lake from one part of the living room which we enjoyed and made good use of. The owners provided personal contact numbers and were very helpful.

Peaty Cottage and the surroundings were lovely for our family. The owners were also lovely. A great base for visiting the Broads, various beaches etc. I would give caution if you are bringing your dogs with you though, you are not able to have the doors open and keep your dog secure without them being on a lead. We did like to take a walk with ourRead more dog around the lake, but on one occasion the owners dog did take a dislike to our small dog - I think they will keep her secured away from visitors going forward.
