It offers a truly peaceful retreat for couples and families who enjoy nature and the wildlife rich countryside with walks direct from the property and the owners’ horses on site.

You are welcome to pet the horses and assist the owners at feed times.

Tucked away from the bustle, step inside this traditional and comfortable home, the sort of place where days unfold gently, shaped by walks, good food and time spent together.

Upon arrival you have a key safe so you can arrive at your leisure.

A welcome food pack awaits you in the fully equipped kitchen set up for self-catering, along with an honesty bar for a cold drink.

The Sitting Room is a welcoming place to settle into with its woodburning stove under a massive inglenook, complete with witchy carvings to keep out evil spirits!

Awaiting you up one flight of steep stairs are two large luxurious bedrooms with super king-size beds and flickering candles.

One has an inglenook and ensuite WC & basin.

The garden is a peaceful spot to enjoy morning coffee or sit and listen to the evening chorus of birds and the deer’s barking whilst soaking up the calm of the surrounding countryside.

There is ample off-road parking, even a secure dry barn for precious cars or motorbikes.

From the cottage, you can walk to The White Horse pub with your dog and enjoy a meal in its award-winning restaurant.

DISS

Bury St. Edmunds 22 miles; Norwich 23 miles.

Diss is a popular rural market town in the south of Norfolk, where its buildings offer examples of gothic architecture, and an insight of the town's past life can be found within the local museum. The market place is the hub of the town, which is overlooked by its beautiful 13th century church. At the bottom of the town is Diss Mere, a 6-acre lake with a fountain that runs all day, along with its adjacent park where you can relax while watching the world pass you by, making this a truly idyllic location. Diss has narrow winding streets with secret little courtyards, and a high street offering an array of small shops and tea rooms. On Friday the high street is home to the weekly market and to the edge of town a weekly auction is held in the local salesrooms. To the other side edge of Diss you will find its 18 hole golf course. Walkers can explore the Boudica Way, a wonderful 40 mile walk from Diss to the medieval city of Norwich. Approximately 2 miles from Diss is Bressingham, with its Steam Museum,17 acres of beautiful gardens, garden centre, restaurant, and the Dad’s Army collection where you can wander through Walmington-on-Sea with its original props and vehicles from the TV series. Other local attractions include Banham Zoo, the 100th Bomb Group Museum, along with the many attractions and amenities to be found in the cathedral city of Norwich.
