Bike store (shared with other property on-site). Private parking for 3 cars. No smoking.. Created to provide a relaxing and stylish environment, and each with their own hot tub (NOTE: for NEW bookings received from January 2024 note that the hot tub will only be prepared for use from 1st April to 30th September each year) and sauna (leisure towels are also provided), this is a perfect holiday location for family celebrations or a get together, whatever the season. The southern aspects of both cottages look over a valley with no habitation in sight, and the night sky is incredible when clear. There are excellent walks and circular routes from the doorstep, free from cars, for both walkers and cyclists. Cowslip Cottage (ref UKC2457) and Meadowsweet Cottage (ref UKC2458) are semi-detached properties and are hidden away, yet situated in the pretty village of Swardeston, a short 5-mile drive from the excellent city of Norwich. Swardeston is the birth place of Edith Cavell, probably the most famous woman to be killed during World War I and remembered around the world for all her tireless and selfless work she undertook whilst working as a nurse, before being executed on 12 October 1915. Edith’s portrait hangs in her memory on the east stained glass window of St Mary’s church and is worthy of a visit. Enjoy fresh bread, pastries and cakes from the village bakery, or visit the local pub, under 1 mile away, which serves good food. There is also a farm shop for fresh veg and fruit as well as a newsagents and butchers. Swardeston Common is very popular with walkers, also from here you can watch the local cricket matches played in front of the pavilion.
Visit the fabulous north Norfolk coastline with its pretty coastal villages and glorious beaches, and explore the famous Norfolk Broads. Wroxham, 16 miles away is known as the capital of the Norfolk Broads, where you will find daily boat hire, river trips, waterside restaurants, cafés and shops. Enjoy a great day out with the children at BeWILDerwood at Horning, a treetop adventure park, Dinosaur Park at Lenwade and Pensthorpe Nature Park. Explore the Suffolk Heritage Coast and the popular seaside towns of Aldebugh and Southwold. The historical city of Norwich is 5 miles, with its cathedrals, museums, theatre, excellent shopping and cosmopolitan cafés. The seaside village of Winterton-on-Sea has an excellent sandy beach backed by dunes and plenty of shops and restaurants. Thetford Forest is ideal for tree top adventures at Go Ape, designated circular walks and cycle trails graded for different abilities. There are golf courses at Dunston Hall 2¼ miles and Barnham Broom 14 miles and a family golf course at Easton 9½ miles. Beach 25 miles. Shop, pub and restaurant 1 mile.

A lovely property. Just what we needed although a little pricey. Fantastic for the dogs. Unfortunately we were not there long enough to explore many of the walks in the area. One or two little niggles like a light not working in the main bathroom, the shower handle broken so difficult to control water temperature, the basin plug didn’t work but overall the property was great.

Although Norfolk wasn't for us we had a really pleasant stay the only issue we had was the livingroo
Although Norfolk wasn't for us we had a really pleasant stay the only issue we had was the livingroom sofa was like sitting on a park bench lol. Other than that we couldn't fault the cottage for the price was beautifully presented welcome package as well.Instructions for the sauna would have been helpful but not a necessity. All 8n all was a a good few days away.

A warm and comfortable cottage that was fine for our family holiday.
A warm and comfortable cottage that was fine for our family holiday. The beds were superbly comfortable but there were issues with sofas and the positioning of the tvs. I don't really like craning my neck to stare at a TV placed high up on the wall and the sofas were not very comfortable for extended seating in the evening. Location is good in terms of being quiet and away from traffic noise, etc, but the lanes to the cottage are hard to find and mean that any food delivery, etc would be difficult to arrange.Overall cleanliness was good . Kitchen implements were not great for cooking - for example, we tried to use a supplied frying pan but it would not work on the induction hob and the only one that would work was a little battered. I would say that we have stayed at better cottages in terms of equipment and seating but would recommend this cottage if you want to stay in this area south of Norwich. It is easy t get into Norwich and we did this a couple of times in the evening for a meal, etc.
