Escape to the Norfolk countryside at this picturesque cottage for two in the quaint village of Buxton. With hundreds of acres of private parkland, the rolling fields wrap themselves around you like a warm green hug, so you can feel the hustle and bustle of everyday life disappear from the moment you arrive. Days begin with a complimentary breakfast in the bright kitchen as you plan for the day ahead. When it's time to head out, pack a picnic and fill up a flask of coffee, before embarking on a morning stroll in the crisp country air. Enjoy the dew on the fields and the tranquil sounds as you explore your surroundings. If you fancy a trip to Norwich, the city’s Romanesque cathedral, Sainsbury Centre art gallery and excellent selection of restaurants are less than an hour’s drive away. After a day spent out and about, head back home, pour yourself a glass of wine and snuggle down in the cosy living room. There really is no better place to unwind after a day of exploring than under the wood beams, giving off a rural warmth that makes the space instantly inviting. Head up to your sumptuous solid brass bed with... Egyptian cotton and the soft sounds of nature lulling you to sleep.
