Soken Cottage

Gressenhall village puts you within reach of Norfolk's most appealing countryside. Thetford Forest lies close by for walking and cycling, while the Broads are under an hour away. Norwich's museums, castle and market sit within driving distance, and the heritage railway at Bressingham runs seasonal services not far off. The village itself has the character and space to feel like a proper retreat without the isolation.

Soken Cottage is a single-storey property sleeping eight across four bedrooms: two with king beds and ensuite showers, two with double beds sharing a family bathroom that has a full bath. The ground-floor layout means no stairs to manage with luggage or children. An open-plan kitchen and living space faces the garden through bifold doors, with a wood burner for cooler evenings, dining for eight, and a smart TV. The kitchen has what you need to cook properly—oven, hob, dishwasher, fridge, microwave, coffee machine and washing machine. Towels, bed linen, Wi-Fi and heating are included; the first basket of wood for the burner is too. The enclosed garden has furniture and a barbecue, and parking takes three cars. One dog stays free. The property does not permit smoking.
