Norfolk self catering holiday cottages

Thorpewood Cottages - Once forming part of the historic Gunton Hall Estate,
the grounds of Nursery Farm include eight acres of woodland that visitors are
free to explore. The owners live in the grade two listed brick and flint
thatched farmhouse close to the cottages. Each cottage has its own terraced
garden area, perfect for relaxing on a warm summer evening.
This delightful corner of rural Norfolk is only five miles from the
traditional seaside town of Cromer, famous for its delicious crabs and the end
of the pier shows. Also within easy reach are the Norfolk Broads, the
fascinating network of waterways where day boats are available for hire.
The area is ideal for cycling with many designated ‘quiet lanes’. Close by is
a cycle track along a disused railway line that gives a unique opportunity to
explore unspoilt Norfolk with its abundance of wildlife. The more ambitious
cyclist may like to attempt the full route into Norwich.
Easily accessible too, are the picturesque villages of the North Norfolk
coast, much loved by sailors and offering a number of RSPB reserves, lovely
coastal footpath walks and seal-watching trips. Good fishing and a choice of
golf courses can be found within 5 miles.
Norfolk is very rich in terms of heritage with several National Trust
properties to visit including nearby Felbrigg Hall and Blickling Hall.
