About this property

Find pure peace and tranquillity by escaping to this charming family-friendly cottage bursting with character, nestled in a peaceful spot in one of rural Norfolk’s most idyllic locations. Nature enthusiasts can revel in the serene countryside trails meandering through verdant landscapes and picturesque vistas from the doorstep.

Beautiful original exposed beams and brickwork, plush soft furnishings and a roaring wood burner create a truly warming ambience in the cosy lounge that beckons weary walking muscles to unwind. Reminiscent of a country cottage farmhouse with rustic decor and more gorgeous, exposed wood beams and brickwork, the kitchen/diner perfectly combines comfort and style, with plenty of room for you to get creative with your delicious local produce. Boasting stunning countryside views, a sophisticated free-standing bath and a crackling wood burner, the king-size bedroom upstairs is an oasis of tranquillity, whilst the double and twin bedrooms across the first and second floors offer captivating views and more beautiful original features. Outside, dine alfresco amidst the backdrop of your stunning countryside surroundings on the patio in the enclosed garden as children and furry friends roam the lawn.

Surrounded by countless tracks and trails carving through the heart of Norfolk’s enchanting countryside, this secluded rural spot is a haven for keen walkers and the perfect base to uncover the charm and heritage of some of Norfolk’s most picture-perfect towns. Dive into hundreds of years of local heritage at Gressenhall Farm and Workhouse 3 miles away, set amidst 50 acres of unspoilt countryside, which provides insights into Norfolk’s rural past. Lose yourself in the charming allure of nearby Dereham 2 miles away and peruse its excellent selection of shops or explore Bishop Bonner’s Cottage Museum 2.5 miles away and Dereham Windmill, just over 3 miles away.

      A beautiful cottage in a stunning location, a perfect tranquil getaway, ideally situated for exploring the North Norfolk coast and surrounding area. It was very cosy, homely and had everything we needed. We'll definitely be back.

    • Mrs Hole

      Shepherds cottage is set in a beautiful, location. It is peaceful & tranquil, but not far from a town to get some groceries when needed. We appreciated the welcome pack, the brownies especially were tasty & moist. The furniture & the bed were comfortable & it is very tastefully decorated. There is plenty of space, it is secure for pets & it was lovely to see wildlife while relaxing in the garden over breakfast or in the evening. Tania is a lovely pleasant lady who is very helpful & easy to chat to, We were reluctant to leave & will definitely be returning.

If you want peace and quiet this is a great location. Owner is a very lovely person and very pleasant. We would definitely book again.
