Treat your family to an enchanting back-to-nature stay at this idyllic shepherd's cabin in a peaceful complex in Norfolk. One of five bespoke lodges on the site, this stylish retreat is set within exquisite surroundings, with a delightful decking for your morning blend, and Banham Zoo practically on your doorstep.
Step up onto the decking and into your cosy glamping cabin, which has been cleverly designed to keep you close to the countryside without compromising your home comforts. The curved ceiling lends the open-plan interior plenty of character, while natural light filters through the space, creating a warm, welcoming feel. After a day spent exploring the surrounding area, unpack your local produce in the compact kitchen before settling around the country-style dining table to eat and plan tomorrow's adventures. The comfortable sofa and TV are ready for relaxed evenings indoors, although you may prefer to stay outside until the last of the daylight fades. At bedtime, retreat to the king-size bed tucked peacefully at one end of the cabin, with overhead bunk beds providing a fun sleeping space for younger guests. A practical wet room completes the interior. Mornings are best spent out on the private deck, wrapped in a blanket with a fresh coffee or sharing breakfast around the outdoor table.
Banham Zoo is right on your doorstep, and staying guests can make the most of discounted entry. With more than 500 animals to meet, plus lively talks and impressive live shows, it’s an exciting day out that will keep everyone from little explorers to grown-up wildlife fans entertained. Aside from the zoo, Banham village is charming with open sandy heathland that’s teeming with wildlife, allowing keen birdwatchers to get their binoculars out. Venture to Diss (8 miles) for an impressive market.
