This comfortable eco-friendly hideaway is located in the rural village of Houghton, in the middle of nowhere but not far from anywhere. Hollyhock offers the opportunity to enjoy the tranquillity of the Norfolk countryside, whilst also being superbly located within easy reach of excellent pubs, stunning coastline and many of the areas attractions.

Hollyhock is all about location. There is nowhere better than Houghton for enjoying peace and tranquillity, with no traffic noise, wildlife on your doorstep, dark skies for stargazing, empty country lanes for bike rides, and miles of local footpaths. In harmony with the beautiful nature that surrounds it, Hollyhocks is fitted with a biomass boiler and solar panel to help reduce its carbon footprint. With secure bike storage, you can leave the car behind. Completely private and semi-detached from neighbouring Foxglove (sleeps 2), this charming wooden cottage is spacious and welcoming. Curated all on one level with a bright duel aspect living area, bespoke well-equipped kitchen, one double and two single bedrooms, Hollyhock is a convenient and adaptable cottage for families, couples and friends. An added bonus is the amazing deck with stunning sundowner panoramic views of grazing horses. Dogs, and even horses, are welcome too. There is adequate parking for three cars to the front, and an electric vehicle charger available.

With Houghton Hall and deer park as your neighbour you will certainly feel rather special here. Rub shoulders with royalty as you cycle the empty country lanes to Sandringham Estate via Anmer, home to the Prince and Princess of Wales. The convenient market town of Fakenham has the best street market and auction rooms around, or maybe you fancy a day at the Fakenham Races. Head to Bircham Windmill with a fabulous café, shops and children’s farm, sniff out the Norfolk Lavender fields, or walk the dog along the Peddars Way path.
