This romantic retreat is ideally placed for a couple seeking to explore the Norfolk Broads, the Thetford Forest Park or head to the glorious coastline.

Here, you will find a well-equipped kitchen complete with all the essentials to rustle up a home-cooked meal that can be enjoyed at the dining table. After dinner, look forward to curling up on the leather sofa to plan the days ahead whilst the woodburning stove fills the room with a gentle warmth during those chilly winter months.

To the outside you will find a decked area, where you can dip into a bubbling hot tub to soak up the surroundings and catch the final glimpses of sunshine during a balmy afternoon.

The hot tub was amazing and very peaceful while looking out over the stunning garden and variety of wildlife (the highlight being a pair of Muntjacs grazing). The pub (5 minute walk) around the corner was very nice (great food and a nice atmosphere), and there are plenty of amenities in Diss. We will definitely be returning (if not just for the hot tub!)
