  • "Lovely place to stay, had a nice week here just wish the weather had been better, nothing to do with the cottage though."

    Had everything you needed and the hot tub and sauna were brilliant bonuses. Thank you to Rose the owner for the welcome gifts, they were most appreciated, we would definitely like to return in the future.

    Thank you for your feedback Kelvin and for leaving the place so clean and tidy! Please can you let me know what the cottage is lacking in terms of facilities so I can sort it out. thank you for being my first guests. I hope to be able to welcome you again. Rose Property Owner

The property

Bawdeswell 0.9 miles.

Situated in Foxley, near the charming village of Bawdeswell in Norfolk, lies The Old Chapel, a characterful, three-bedroom converted chapel.

Completed with original features, displaying lofty ceilings, stained-glass windows, and a church pew, whilst boasting a private and delightful rear garden, with a hot tub and sauna in tow, the holiday home welcomes six guests, perfect for a family getaway to the Norfolk countryside.

Enjoy the well-equipped kitchen and utility, helping to ease your self-catering stay, whilst gathering around the grand dining table, encompassed by traditional dark furniture.

Venture to the sitting room, perfect for reading one of many books on offer in front of the woodburning stove, or perhaps take advantage of the rear suntrap, by unwinding in the hot tub after a quick session in the sauna.

By climbing the stairs, you'll find three spacious bedrooms, including a king-size with en-suite shower room, a double, and a twin, all with TVs and access to the main bathroom, offering flexibility for your whole party.

If you can tear yourself away from The Old Chapel, travel to Bawdeswell, where you can enjoy a cup of tea and slice of cake at Hamptons @ The Barn, a glass of wine at The Old Workhouse Bar, or simply stock up on the essentials at the nearby Morrisons.

A short journey away you will arrive at Norfolk Llamas, a family-friendly activity, inclusive of nature-filled treks, Swanton Morley Waterfalls, and Pensthorpe, a stunning 700-acre nature reserve, perfect for woodland walks.

Bird watching is popular across the local landscape, whilst Gressenhall Farm & Workhouse is an idyllic setting for your entire party, both a museum and farmland, or perhaps head to Dereham Windmill, a Grade II listed landmark, enveloped by luscious grounds.

By car, reach Sculthorpe Moor Nature Reserve, where you can observe the everyday of many wildlife creatures, Raynham Hall, hosting regular events from its grand country estate, and Fakenham Museum of Gas and Local History, an ideal attraction for budding historians.

Enjoy your visit to Norfolk by choosing The Old Chapel as your base.
