Providing country living with all modern amenities, this lovely Norfolk cottage has a traditional farmhouse kitchen, vaulted and beamed ceilings, country-style bedrooms and shared use of 3.5 acres of landscaped gardens with a stream. Horses graze in paddocks while ducks and chickens roam freely - a true country retreat!

In the heart of Norfolk the thriving village of Necton is situated between the market towns of Swaffham and Dereham. This lovely location, dominated by its impressive Norman church boasting a beautiful carved oak communion table dating back to 1086 and a wonderful Jacobean pulpit, is home to a welcoming pub with restaurant, a village store with butchers and a post office. The fine Georgian house of Bradenham Hall is close by and with over 27 acres of beautiful gardens and a spectacular arboretum - apparently visited by the famous Lord Nelson – is well worth a visit, as is the infamousPeddars Way. The Norfolk Coastal Path is a 93 mile trail through the picturesque Norfolk countryside - great for walking, cycling and horse riding.

What a fabulous place! A fantastic place to get away from it all and wonderful for families. The kids loved collecting eggs and meeting the horses. The owners could not have been more helpful.The cottage is beautiful and furnished to a high standard. The photos really don't do it justice. Dogs are welcome, which is an added bonus. 100% recommend and will definitely go again.

A particularly high quality cottage with nice owners.

Rated by Mrs Cook reviewed on 16th March 2015

The cottage itself was wonderful. We were there at the beginning of December and it was very warm and cosy. The kitchen/sitting area was large but so were the radiators, and the wood burning stove could be lit if you wanted to stay up very late or just because it looked so pretty. The kitchen was a joy to use, the table was well sized and there were plenty of pots/pans/cutlery so that we could make full use of the dishwasher. The main bedroom on the ground floor is large and the double bed very comfortable. The upstairs bedrooms are gorgeous and are set in the eaves. Indeed, the cottage was so well provided with everything you could need to stay there, so certainly don't think of packing the kitchen sink. The owners have got it just right. They are very pleasant and would have sorted problems if we'd had any, but they really let us feel that the cottage was our 'home' for the time we were there.

A great place to relax in the wonderful countryside! The Cottage met all our expectations and for sure the descriptions on the website. A wonderful base camp to explore the region.

The owners were most welcoming when we arrived and we felt right at home straight away. The cottage was quiet and in a lovely location. We had everything we needed for a great holiday. The owners had even put up a Christmas tree for us.

Rated by Mrs Hooper reviewed on 3rd January 2014

The whole family enjoyed the holiday very much. The cottage was so relaxing, warm and spacious, exactly as we had seen advertised on the web, 10 out of 10. There was plenty to see and do around the area. We love this part of the country, and will be looking forward to coming over again.

Rated by Mr Bell reviewed on 23rd December 2013

Very stylish barn conversion. Well stocked with everything you could want and need. Clean, tasteful, quiet and stylish.

Rated by Mr Barratt reviewed on 30th September 2013

This cottage is a converted stable but has a lot of mod-cons while keeping that old country cottage feel. It was hard to find as it really is in the middle of nowhere(used sat nav but still had trouble) We had 3 generations staying (ages 8-70) The kitchen/living room is very open and quite large. The eaves bedroom is perfect for young kids. The stairs are a little steep. The cottage is surrounded by farmland and fields with horses and chickens. There were fresh eggs and produce available for purchase everyday (reasonably priced too). When we arrived, the owners had provided milk, tea and cookies, which was a nice touch. There was also leaflets and maps for days out. The cottage is about 40 mins from a lot of Norfolk attractions. Things I didn't like - there was no phone (travelling from abroad, we didn't have cell phones) or WiFi. It was also very hot so a fan would have been nice. And there were not many plugs near a mirror. My family were impressed with the cottage and have already recommended it to others.

Rated by Natalie G reviewed on 24th September 2013

It was very peaceful. The cottage was of a very high standard. The owners were very friendly and helpful. The children loved the animals. The rooms were spacious and there was plenty of space for 6 of us.

The property is in a very peaceful location and although The Stables is connected to the owners property which is occupied, we felt able to relax and were not unduly disturbed.

Rated by Mrs Brooks reviewed on 25th July 2012

A property with lovely character in a peaceful location, very spacious, clean and well presented. A nice outdoor space with private secure patio garden. Very good base to explore the whole of Norfolk from - a central location with good road links in all directions. Very peaceful and no disturbance from other properties.

Rated by Mr Handford reviewed on 24th July 2012

Beautiful cottage/ barn conversion in a very comfortable, peaceful environment. We were very happy that children and dog were also welcome. We had a wonderful time and would definitely return. Many thanks.

Rated by Miss Birch reviewed on 4th December 2011

The location was great for accessing all parts of Norfolk. The property was immaculate, the owners lovely and the facilities good.A tumble drier would have made it totally complete. The only comment would be that the third bedroom is really only suitable for very young small children.

Lovely cottage that was well situated for getting out and about and exploring Norfolk. Nice and quiet location that was great for us all to relax.

Rated by Mr Burman reviewed on 16th August 2010

We were very much impressed by the warm welcome received, and the freshly laid eggs left in the traditional country cottage kitchen were a nice touch! The beautifully landscaped gardens, with trampoline and friendly family dog make you feel like it's a home from home. Our 3 year old loved the setting, and often asks to go back! We have promised her that we will as we all enjoyed the beautifully decorated Cottage and our stay so much. If we could swap our life in the city for the perfect country get-a-way, we would pick this beautifully finished cottage...

Rated by A FlipKey verified reviewer reviewed on 22nd July 2010

The cottage owners were very friendly and helpful. Lovely area and some great places to walk the dogs and cycle, particularly nearby Thetford forest.

Rated by Ms Hatton reviewed on 28th June 2010

A beautiful cottage that had everything you could possibly think of needing. The owners were extremely helpful and always at hand for any queries. Certainly a 'home from home' experience.

Rated by Mrs Gallacher reviewed on 21st June 2010

We were made to feel very welcome, and certainly like it was a home from home. It was by far the best family holiday we have had. Our daughter is 3 1/2 and she was perfectly happy running through the grounds, bouncing on the trampoline, playing with the dog and petting the horse. I would very highly recommend this cottage, the photos do not do it justice! Thank you!

Rated by Miss David reviewed on 25th May 2010

Overall, fantastic cottage!

Rated by Mr Wilks reviewed on 19th May 2010

This is one of the most highly refurbished cottages we have stayed in. We regularly travel with our dogs and therefore, have not always had such a lovely property! Its so refreshing look forward to getting home to enjoy the lovely open plan kitchen and eat and drink together! This was a super base to see the local area too with supermarkets a short car drive away to stock up! Based on a small holding, there are horses and chickens to see and its all on the flat therefore lovely for my disabled mother to look around too! You can even buy eggs from the owner to have for breakfast. You wont get fresher!! We would definately consider it for a summer break and would enjoy relaxing at the cottage as well as popping out!

The property was lovely. It oozes a relaxing and peaceful atmosphere on entering.

The cottage is in a great location to explore the Norfolk area. The cottage is stunning and the interior is the best I have seen. The grounds are also lovely and if it were closer to my home, would bring along my horse too!

Rated by Miss Haynes reviewed on 8th March 2010

Excellent cottage in good surroundings. Probably the best holiday cottage that I've stayed at in the UK. Equipped and furnished to a very standard. Spacious fully equipped kitchen with range style cooker and large american style fridge freezer. Well placed in central norfolk so easy to get around to all the sites. Only gripe if staying longer would have been the lack of a shower as there is only a (very nice) old fashioned bath and sink.
