Enjoy a rural break in North Norfolk, with your best human friend and up to two canine chums in this traditional-style shepherd’s hut on a small complex of two. You’ll have the best of both worlds, with a private hot tub, sleeping accommodation, plus more shared facilities in a separate hut to make life both practical and comfortable. It’s a great base to immerse yourself in nature, or explore the Norfolk coast as well as places like the Broads, Norwich and Sandringham.
Cute as a button, four steps up reach the bright and airy interior, with a useful stable door, seating area and double bed. Nearby, a shared cabin houses your private bathroom, but also a communal kitchen and dining area to make preparing and eating holiday feasts a little bit easier. Back at your hut, there’s a private hot tub to sink into and admire the verdant views by day or the dark starry skies by night. There’s also a fire pit you can cook over and nearby parking for two cars.
On the outskirts of the pretty village of Foulsham, this charming complex offers peace and quiet and wildlife all around for any couple or small family. For keen walkers, footpaths run almost from the doorstep. Within 2.5 miles you can access the Marriott’s Way, a former railway line that runs 26 miles to picturesque places including Aylsham, Reepham and ends up in Norwich. Or hop along the North Norfolk Coast, visiting the gorgeous sandy swathes of Holkham Beach 20 miles away (nearby Holkham Hall is also open to the public), or see seals at certain times at Blakeney (18 miles), or enjoy traditional seaside resort vibes at Cromer (22 miles). The smart market town of Holt (12 miles) offers Georgian architecture, antiques, galleries and independent shopping.
