House rental in Blofield, near Norwich - sleeps 6

Low Farm Cottage
3 bedrooms, sleeps 6

A short drive from the coast, and in the heart of the Broads, this delightful thatched cottage makes a wonderful holiday base.

Low Farm Cottage is a charming, Grade II listed, thatched property which was built in 1732, and was originally three farm cottages. Over the years, it has been altered into one detached cottage that oozes character, and there is a feature illuminated, glass-covered well in the conservatory. It lies adjacent to the owners’ home in the village of Blofield with its village pub and shops, in the heart of the Broads. There is also a 9-hole golf course, driving range and a crazy golf course for children in the village.

The historic city of Norwich is 8 miles away with its famous cathedrals, museums, theatres, cobbled streets, timber-framed buildings and array of cafes and shops, and the lovely, unspoilt beaches of the North Norfolk and East Coast are just a short drive. The many places to explore include Strumpshaw Fen, an RSPB reserve which is a delight for walkers and nature lovers, and Fairhaven Gardens, 3 miles. There are also several National Trust properties in the region and three heritage railways: The North Norfolk Railway, The Mid Norfolk Railway and the Bure Valley Railway.

Hire a boat at Wroxham or Brundall and spend a relaxing day exploring the waterways. If you wish to travel a little further afield, Cambridge, famous for its universities, and the market towns of Beccles and Bungay in Suffolk are well worth seeing. Walking, bird watching, fishing (seasonal, licence required) and cycling are all available locally. Shop and pub 550 yards, restaurant 1½ mile
