Set on a quiet corner of a working arable farm within the historic Blickling Estate, this striking cabin settles you immediately into a slower gear (the kind you swear you’ll remember to bring home with you, but never do). Fields drift out to meet ancient woodland and you get sunrise and sunset light on the deck, without even needing to move your chair. Step inside and it’s all soft spruce-ply glow, Japandi calm and warm oxide-red details. Everything is crafted with proper care — it may be carbon-neutral and off-grid, but in an ‘actually comfortable’ way, with a private sauna and hot tub/cold plunge tucked in too. No ceremony, just beautifully made simplicity and a rare feeling of stillness; this is a very special setting.

And beyond? A kind of countryside quiet that feels lightly enchanted, like the land is conspiring to slow you down. Wander ancient trails through the vast National Trust estate, visit the Jacobean mansion, and cross the fields to the pub for ‘just the one’ (we all know how that goes). Or head to the Norfolk coast for sweeping sands, sea swims, pretty Holt and the UK’s largest seal sanctuary at Blakeney Point (surprisingly loud). Come home when the sun dips, slide into the sauna or hot tub, and watch the stars appear one by one over the fields. This is a place where nature leads, you follow happily, and time stops behaving quite so urgently.

Getting here: drive, or train to Norwich then taxi (20 mins)

Tally, Red Cabins

“I wanted to create a collection of beautifully made, low-impact places to pause – small spaces designed with the same care you’d give a home, but shaped entirely by nature. Each would have its own private sauna and cold-plunge experience built in, turning even a short stay into a retreat. We designed everything from scratch, from the soft interiors to the quiet, efficient off-grid systems. The idea was simple: no gimmicks, just a serene retreat where great design, privacy and the landscapes do the talking.” Owner, Tally 

My Kip favourites

She loves
“The big open skies here, and the deep countryside quiet.”

We love
That it’s a tiny wellness escape. Hot tub, cold dip, sauna, robes and toiletries (just BYO face packs). The deck is ideal for yoga too, and mats, blocks and a yoga book are provided.

You may not love
Truly off-grid for electricity; no plug sockets just USBs. You need to be able to light and maintain the woodburner. No TV or microwave.

  • "What an unforgettable stay. We came for a mini-break and ended up reconnecting in a way we didn’t even realise we needed. Slow mornings with coffee, afternoons wandering through the estate, and long evenings talking, laughing and listening to the rain on the roof. The sauna was amazing (such a luxurious treat) and the view from it at night was magical. This place is something special."

    Ross, October
  • "We arrived absolutely exhausted and left feeling lighter, calmer, and completely reset. The cabin wrapped around us like a warm hug - the soft lighting, the stillness, the gentle sound of nature outside. We spent hours in the sauna looking at the view outside, and finished each evening sitting under the stars in total silence. It felt like time slowed down just for us. The perfect escape. Thank you so much - we’ll be back."

    Ellen, October

Sustainability.

The cabin is part of The Red Cabin collection – a series of design-led spaces owned and managed by The Red Cabin team in collaboration with hosts. Sustainability is woven into every stage of the cabins’ life cycles. They are manufactured in-house and the builds are BRE-audited from cradle to grave, ensuring environmental responsibility from material sourcing to end-of-life. Built with airtight construction and an impressive EPC rating of B, each cabin offers exceptional energy efficiency and thermal comfort year-round. British materials and recycled content are prioritised wherever possible – everything from insulation to upholstery. This thoughtful approach reduces a carbon footprint while creating beautiful, durable spaces that respect both nature and the communities around them.

  • Wake slowly with the sunrise pouring through the enormous window at the end of the bed, then pad straight to your private sauna for a quiet glow before the day even begins.
  • Wander straight from the door into the ancient woodlands and parkland of the Blickling Estate. National Trust owned, it’s 4,600 acres overall with a lake and enormous formal gardens so you may not see another soul.
  • Unless you want to explore the house, an impressive Jacobean mansion with an RAF Oulton Museum.
  • Or visit the estate pub, which you can stroll to across the fields. Think low beams, good ales and generous plates.
  • Or take part in the hugely popular park run every Saturday; the estate has a multipurpose track for cycling, running, dog walking and riding.
  • Further afield, visit the microbrewery at Salle Moor Hall Farm, which has a 17thC taproom where you can taste their creations.
  • Drive 20 minutes to the Norfolk coast for salt air, big horizons and invigorating walks. Our favourite spots are golden Cromer beach, Holt (a little town of great independents) and Blakeney Point (home to the UK’s largest sea colony).
  • Return to the cabin to soak in your hot tub (or take the plunge into a cold dip, if you’re hardy), climb into your comfiest clothes and cook an easy meal.
  • End the day by your fire pit, watching the stars slowly punctuate the sky. It’s utterly silent here, with no light pollution; very special.
