Church Farm Cottages - Barn Owl

Broadland's countryside around Norwich holds quiet appeal for those wanting to escape the city without going far. Church Farm Cottages – Barn Owl is a ground-floor cottage set within 11 acres of farmland, with footpaths from the property leading to Marriotts Way and woodland beyond. The village centre, with shops and pubs, is a quarter-mile away, and Norwich itself lies 5 miles south. Wroxham—the heart of the Broads, where you can hire boats and take river trips—is 7 miles distant, while the Bure Valley Gauge Railway, running between Aylsham and Wroxham, is easily reached for a day out.

The cottage contains one bedroom with zip-and-link beds, a shower room, and a combined living and kitchen space with a breakfast area. An electric cooker, microwave, fridge-freezer and washer-dryer mean you can cook and look after yourselves properly. Outside, a small enclosed garden with patio and garden furniture gives you your own outdoor space. Wi-Fi, electricity, bed linen and towels are provided. There is on-site car parking and a bike store if you want to explore the footpaths and lanes by pedal. No smoking is permitted indoors.

The location suits walkers and those drawn to the Broads' quieter side. Fishing at Hevingham Lakes is 3 miles away. Nearby are Hoveton Hall, Fairhaven Woodland and Water Garden Trust, Thrigby Hall Wildlife Park, and the National Trust properties at Blickling and Felbrigg. The cottage sleeps 2 and one pet is welcome.
