About this property

This pretty, end-terrace cottage is adjacent to the village green, in the sleepy village of Oxborough. It makes a wonderful little holiday home for families and friends exploring the Norfolk countryside and has lots of charm and character! When you get back from a day exploring the local area, the warm, inviting sitting room, with its charming, traditional furnishings and woodburning stove, is a great place to kick back and relax. The country-style kitchen is compact and has a Belfast sink. In the adjacent room is the dining table where you can plan tomorrow's adventure over dinner. French doors open into an enclosed garden at the back of the property with twin patios, a small lawn and shrubbery. In the summer, it makes a really relaxing, tranquil spot to enjoy a morning, or lunch and dinner outside. When you don’t feel like cooking, head to The Bedingfeld Arms, the cosy village inn just a five-minute walk away. Visit the National Trust’s Oxborough Hall, a 15th century, moated manor house, and take a look round its glorious gardens. The surrounding countryside is perfect for cycling and walking, with numerous nearby footpaths and trails available along The Brecks, a beautiful area of forestry and heathland with lots of designated picnic spots. Thetford Forest is fab for a day out with the family; cycle or walk through this pretty pine forest, try out the many adventure pursuits on offer, or brave the Go Ape activity centre! There are many historic market towns nearby including Swaffham, with its Georgian buildings, independent shops, tea rooms, pubs and a vibrant Saturday market. With the coast and several renowned RSPB reserves less than an hour’s drive away, this lovely little holiday cottage is perfect for a break exploring this beautiful region.

A peaceful, pretty village in the heart of Norfolk countryside, with a traditional village green and a cosy local inn. With a mixture of period cottages and houses in the local area, the village is shadowed by the magnificent profile of Oxborough Hall, a 15th century National Trust property. Visitors will delight in the extensive grounds, including the surrounding moat with plentiful fish to view. With such an array of things to see and do in the surrounding area, Oxborough is a wonderful holiday base, all year round.

    So near the pub. Shame you can’t park in the spot next to the house, you have to carry bags a little way and lots of leaves covered the car Lovely hot and powerful shower Could do with new frying pans

    Clean, plenty of bedlinnen and towels, good shower with warm water quiclkly and powerfull “jet”, more than well stocked kitchen, most beautiful garden and a decoration and furnishing one might expect in a cottage. Tattines of some of the furniture didn’t bother us: that’s part of the decor. Same as the low ceiling downstairs and low doors overall. We bumped our heads several times but it is to be expected in a house like this. The dining table was difficult to sit at: one can’t put ones legs under the table and it’s kind of wonky. When we booked, the site mentioned that there was a DVD-player but there wasn’t: the HDMI-cable was there but no DVD-player. When we mentioned this the comment was, that it would be removed from the site. But it must have been there quite recently since the cable was still there. And I hate ceramic hobs but that has not put us off in any way. Location is simply perfect: slam bam in the middle of every major place to visit. We’ll gladly visit again!

    It was very clean and well equipped with lovely kitchen and furniture. We will definitely be returning! We arrived as the weather turned much colder and the heating was inadequate. There was no fuel left for the woodburner until we contacted the keyholder who brought some the next day. It would have been better to have known that a special wood substitute was needed before we came. In a couple of days we were warm enough. The NT property and lovely pub are a short walk away and well worth a visit.
