Set within the sought after village of Great Ryburgh, Willow Cottage is the perfect retreat for guests seeking somewhere beautiful in which to relax after a busy day out and about. With all fittings brand new in 2018, this property adjoins the owner’s holiday home (which is rarely used) and has been furnished and decorated to provide everything needed for the perfect stay, including a wood burner for those cosy evenings in.
Great Ryburgh has its own fish and chip shop as well as a butchers, and lies close to the stunning North Norfolk coastline. You can travel to Wells-next-the-Sea in just 20 minutes, where you will find an unspoilt and much photographed quay, a wide sandy beach, a single gauge railway that almost delivers you right to the sand. There is also a great mix of traditional seaside shops and boutiques, and lots of great places to eat and drink. If you can tear yourself away, you can head east or west from here to discover pretty coastal towns and villages with a host of different coastal habitats including sand and shingle beaches, marshes and quays. Head east and explore Cromer with its famous pier and Edwardian seafront, or west and discover all the fun of the fair at Hunstanton. Make sure to stop off at all the pretty seaside villages and towns in between.
Closer to home lies Pensthorpe Natural Park, Norfolk’s biggest tourist attraction, which is home to a variety of wildlife and offers garden trails in a sprawling countryside lake and woodland conservation park. The Thursford Collection, with its much celebrated Thursford Christmas Spectacular is also nearby. Travel just a little further and explore the Norfolk Broads, either on a day launch or on an organised tour. Or, for a change of pace, head into the medieval city of Norwich with its splendid Norman Castle and numerous museums, galleries and attractions. Add in National Trust sites and stately homes such as The Blickling Estate and Holkham Hall and you will see that there really is something for everyone in this part of Norfolk. Fakenham is just 4 miles away with four supermarkets, cinema, flea market and an auction on Thursdays. Golf is available locally and there is horse racing at Pudding Norton, near Fakenham. You are sure to return to Willow Cottage for another lovely stay just so you can fit it all in. Beach 13 miles. Shop 200 yards, pub (temporarily closed) and restaurant 450 yards.
