About this property
Resting in the cultural city of Norwich and county of Norfolk, is this delightful two-bedroom terrace cottage, 105 Marlborough Road. Situated within proximity to the cathedral, local amenities, and a wealth of attractions to keep you busy, 105 Marlborough Road is the perfect base for a couple's break to Norfolk, sleeping four guests. On arrival you will find permit parking directly outside of the property, leading you up the steps and towards the charmingly styled cottage. Be welcomed into the bright and contemporary sitting room, idyllic for a relaxing night in, in front of the TV, where you can plan your break away, enjoy a glass of wine, or simply catch up as a group. Heading into the kitchen/diner, make full use of the amenities on offer, by preparing your favourite meal, gathering around the dining table, and setting the world to rights before dusk sets in. If you prefer a night under the stars, transition your set up to the rear garden, by working your way up the steps and towards the decked area, in tow with seating and a barbecue; perfect for a summer’s evening as the sun sets. Catch your rest before an itinerary of adventure by retreating to the spacious king-size bedrooms, stylishly furnished, and packed with storage, acting as a fitting home-from-home for your stay; one of which has an attached en-suite shower, along with a ground-floor bathroom to cater to the entire party. Norwich is renowned for its heritage and community feel, enveloped by local businesses, a cafe culture, popular pubs and eateries, its outdoor market, museums, theatres, and historic landmarks, all within walking distance of the cottage, placed in the heart of the action. Head to Norwich Castle Museum & Art Gallery for a taste of the city's culture, be wowed by the grandeur of Norwich cathedral, its architect, and its hospitality, or opt for a romantic stroll around the Grade II listed grounds of The Plantation Garden. On sunny days, visit the 32-acre contemporary grounds of East Ruston Old Vicarage Garden, hike around the 70 acres of greenery at Catton Park, or relax by the river at Whitlingham Country Park. For a memorable break, be sure to visit Happisburgh Owls and meet their resident owls, unwind at Wensum Park, one of the first parks to be constructed after the First World War, or head to ExTREEme Adventure and take part in an arm-styled assault course or trek through the woodlands on a quad bike for a day of fun. 105 Marlborough Road is a highly recommended base for a Norfolk break for couples and friends alike.

Everything we needed for a relaxing week. Location is fabulous for everything and so quiet. Recommendations - The Rumsey Wells for pies to die for. The Wig & Pen for great hospitality. The Urban Lounge for perfect breakfasts. The wonderful river walks. Obviously the Cathedral, stunning! A great city well worth a visit.

A super comfy terraced house with beautiful, arty decor and the luxury of 2 bathrooms, both with excellent showers, and 2 bedrooms with king-sized, very comfortable beds. We were a little concerned before visiting about the parking situation as it's street parking in a quite congested narrow road of terraced houses. But we never had any problems finding a place, usually right outside. The only issue would be if you wanted to leave your car in the street all day on more than one day as it's permit parking from 8am to 6.30pm and you are provided with a four-hour 'clock' pass, which covers you until noon, plus one day pass. I don't know if it's possible to get additional day passes, or how to do so if you can. Some clarification over the parking would have been appreciated but it didn't affect us as we were using the car on all but one of the days and the foru-hour permit is plenty to be able to have a morning in the city or browsing in the many antique shops in nearby Magdalen Street. We would definitely book again.
