Property code: OC-P27241

Set within two acres of private gardens and woodland, this former farmhouse offers a fantastic escape to the coast. Providing ample accommodation for up to seven guests and welcoming one beloved pup, it’s ideal for a family-friendly break or a getaway with friends. Embrace morning walkies along the unspoilt Waxham beach, and return here for a hearty breakfast on the patio in the salty sea air. Surrounded by idyllic Norfolk countryside, this family-friendly property offers oodles of space for socialising and relaxing, inside and out.

Decorated in a classic, country style, take your pick of comfy seating for a post-walkies afternoon snooze, with a large lounge, a cosy snug and a light-filled lounge/diner all offering abundant deep sofas. Keen cooks will love preparing home-cooked meals in the large country kitchen, while meals can be enjoyed inside or out, with a formal dining room, a breakfast table in the kitchen, and a garden table on the patio. Make the most of warm weather by escaping to the mature garden with your current read, while the children play on the lawn with their furry friend. Keep your binoculars to hand with wildlife frequenting the garden and surrounds, or look up at night to stargaze in the uninterrupted night’s sky. Four bedrooms invite a restful night’s sleep, some with flexible sleeping arrangements, while a family bathroom, a downstairs shower room and a separate WC take care of all practicalities.

Guests have access to a permissible path leading them directly to the beach and coastal path. Dog friendly year round, Waxham beach is frequented by seals and their pups at certain times of year, so it’s wise to keep Fido on a lead around wildlife. Set tails wagging with abundant walkies opportunities, including a lovely stroll to nearby Horsey Windpump (2.5 miles) and numerous nature trails and cycle routes along the waterways of the Norfolk Broads.

Had a fantastic week at Poplar Farm. The owners were very welcoming and the welcome pack was superb, including a delicious home made cake. The house is very well equipped, everything you could need, a real home from home. All the bedrooms were clean, comfortable and airy. Both sitting rooms have large comfortable sofas, games and a large toy box whRead moreich was a god send when it rained all day. The large garden is wonderful for dogs and children to safely play and explore the little wooded area. Lots of seating in the garden to relax and enjoy the peace and spot the wildlife. Ideal place for family holidays. We had such a fantastic week the kids didn't want to go home. We would definitely go back. Hide

Lovely location, and a great house for multi-generational holiday. The garden was also fabulous, we saw deer, rabbits, a hare and lots of birds. The owner was super helpful, and the welcome pack with homemade goodies was delicious!
