" Surrounded by peaceful glades of woodland – amidst endless scenery and under soaring skies..."
Heated indoor swimming-pool. Splendidly converted from an Italianate courtyard of fine coach house buildings, and perfectly placed for exploring the abundant delights of Norfolk. Nestled within a peaceful woodland setting, these award-winning properties are the only surviving testimony to this once prestigious hall. Built in 1840 on a design by famed Buckingham Palace architect Edward Blore, the Clock Tower entrance (with working clocks similar to that of the Palace) is thought to be the only other example of its kind. With four-poster beds and marble-top dining tables, the properties are tastefully furnished and equipped to a high standard. The properties enjoy superb leisure facilities, including a 30-foot indoor heated swimming-pool, fed by natural spring water, with full changing facilities, shower and W.C., an indoor games room with table tennis, pool table and darts and a children’s play area. The Coach House, along with the three cottages, are equally suitable for larger groups of up to 27 people, making them ideal for special celebrations and family get-togethers.

There is easy touring to the North Norfolk coast, with Cromer (possibly most famous for its crabs), Sheringham and Caister all offering sandy beaches. Within a 30-minute drive are the Norfolk Broads at Wroxham, where visitors can hire boats for the day, or alternatively enjoy a leisurely day cruise. The nature reserve of Hickling Broad is a haven for migrating birds, including sandpipers, osprey and spoonbills; it also offers excellent fishing, especially for pike and bream, as well as a number of nature trails to explore.
Full of cultural attractions, the city of Norwich lies just 20 minutes away, offering interests to suit all tastes; from history and architecture to art galleries, shops and leisure activities. The splendid cathedral boasts some of Britain’s finest Gothic architecture with carvings adorning its interior, while high on a hill stands the 12th-century Norman castle, which now houses the Castle Museum. Within driving distance are Somerleyton Hall and the NT properties of 17th-century Blickling Hall (where open-air concerts are staged in summer), Felbrigg Hall, Oxburgh Hall and Sheringham Park. For family entertainment, there is a wealth of adventure activities and parks nearby – choose from Dinosaur Adventure Park, Thigby Wildlife, Pettitts Animal Adventure and Wroxham Barns, to name but a few.
