Property code: OC-SHRN8

A single-storey property offering welcoming and homely accommodation for four guests, if you choose to stay here you will be able to enjoy plenty of woodland walks with your beloved dogs at your side. The countryside in this part of Norfolk is perfect for exploring, whilst within 25 miles of the property you can visit the county town of Norwich as well as the county’s north and east coasts.

Walking through the garden to the front door of this cottage, you will see for yourself just how much outside space there is, perfect for playing, relaxing, and al fresco dining. Inside, the property is comfortable, light, and airy offering a lounge, separate dining room, and a kitchen. The lounge is a comfortable retreat in any weather, as in winter the fire can be lit, whilst in summer you will be able to throw open the doors to the garden and allow your dogs the freedom to pad in and out as they wish. There are two bedrooms, a double and a twin and, like the lounge, the twin bedroom has doors leading out to the garden, making it ideal for popping outside for a morning coffee.

The famously flat Norfolk countryside lends itself perfectly to both leisurely walks and scenic cycle rides, making this property an excellent choice if you enjoy getting out and about in the fresh air. The small town of Dereham is 2.5 miles away, although if you want to visit a larger town, then the city of Norwich can be reached within 19 miles. A day at the beach is perfectly possible too, with a number of fantastic beaches on the north coast of the county being within a 26-mile drive, several of which welcome dogs all year round, including the idyllic sandy beach of Holkham Bay.

A very peaceful location with only the hooting of owls heard at night. The cottage was well equipped and comfortable. Our dogs enjoyed exploring the gardens and the local countryside. A good location to use as a base for travelling around Norfolk.

The property suited us well as we had family history work to do in Scarning itself and we also wanted access to Norwich and Downham Market and to the north Norfolk coast which we love. So for us the location was perfect and the tiredness of much of the property's furnishings weren't a problem.
