“We were searching for peace and tranquility to create a rural escape within 2 hours of us (we live in London), yet in the heart of beautiful, natural landscape. We found that west Norfolk was a relatively undiscovered secret, not inundated with tourists, and surrounded by forests and lakes. Architect designed, the cabin’s almost seamless connection with nature and the abundance of natural light make it a calming and uplifting place to be.” Owner, Ashlyn
She loves
“Breakfast on the deck, forest and riverside walks directly from the cabin, and doing yoga in the garden at sunset.”
We love
The pink art deco bath on the deck.
You may not love
Other cabins & caravans nearby so private but not secluded. Drive to pubs, shops & restaurants. The garden is open & the property is lakeside so young kids need to be supervised.
Sustainability.
Solar panels and a composter plus natural toiletries and social enterprise products.
Surrounds.
- Rambling forest walks lead directly from the door: stroll through Bilney Woods and meander along the River Nar, with your eyes peeled for wild deer, squirrels and other woodland dwellers.
- Lake swimming sessions may be available early on Saturday mornings and Wednesday evenings between April and October (not guaranteed).
- Book a massage with Neal’s Yard products; a mobile therapist can come to the house. Or local lady Katie runs foraging walks.
- Go wakeboarding and water skiing at Pentney Lakes, 2 minutes away.
- There are excellent pubs nearby. Drive 30 mins to the Dabbling Duck for seasonal fare, or take the cabin’s 2 mountain bikes off-road for 45-60 minutes over to Shouldham for scrummy pub fare at The Kings Arms. Book ahead for both pubs.
- Potter around the open-air auction in Swaffham.
- We love Castle Acre, a rural village where an ancient Normal settlement has completely survived, complete with castle, church and romantic ruined priory.
- Beautiful beaches are 45 mins’ drive: Holkham’s horseshoe of golden sand is dreamy, backed by sweet-scented pines. Sunset is best at west-facing Old Hunstanton Beach, with its sandy dunes and candy-striped cliffs.
- This corner of Norfolk is crammed with home-grown goods, from asparagus and samphire to Cromer crab and Brancaster mussels. Look for honesty boxes along the lanes or peruse the excellent farmers’ markets at Swaffham and Sandringham.
