Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Situated near your host’s working farm, this charming home near the village of Mattishall has a wonderful setting. The market town of Dereham is five miles away, where you’ll find a cinema, restaurants, and a sports centre for when you want to keep up your fitness regime while away. Back at this cottage, there’s a fully enclosed private patio perfect for alfresco meals, but if you want more space, there is access available to the owner's lawned garden (by arrangement). Inside is all on one level so it’s ideal for guests with limited mobility, but equally, it would also suit a couple with a baby, as your friendly hosts provide a free cot and high chair.
