Downham Market 5.9 miles. Tucked away in a quiet cul-de-sec, a stone's throw away from the heart of the quaint village of Wereham, rests this delightful stone-built cottage, The Old Butcher's Shop. Offering a charming and homely setting, The Old Butcher's Shop is a pleasant base for your next family adventure to East Anglia. A sought-after off-road parking space greets you in a gated courtyard, leading you through the sweet outdoor space and into the beautifully-appointed kitchen/diner, boasting a contemporary yet traditional interior with pastel cupboards complimented by rustic exposed wooden beams, offering a welcoming sociable space to enjoy a heart-warming meal with your loved ones. Continuing through the property, settle down for the evening and nestle in with a seat in a snug armchair in front of the television, warming the room with the glow of the woodburning stove in the cooler evenings as you enjoy a family movie night. If you're lucky enough to experience the warmer weather, head outside for a seat on the patio, soaking in the peaceful ambiance of the private setting as you toast a glass of fizz to a marvellous holiday. When sleep calls, prepare for bed in the family bathroom, located on the ground-floor for your convenience, fitted with a bath and overhead shower, giving guests the choice between a quick shower or a leisurely soak. Heading upstairs, you'll find two thoughtfully laid out bedrooms, a double room, tucked away under the sloped ceiling for an intimate escape, and a snug twin room, perfect for reading a goodnight story to your little ones, both of which are serviced by a handy cloakroom. After a fun-filled day, take a break from doing the cooking and venture into the centre of Wereham to indulge in a delicious homecooked meal at the family-run village pub, The George and Dragon, and if you time it right, you might catch a spot of live entertainment or a car boot being held at the Village Hall. For a wider variety of eateries, visit the historic town of Downham Market, where you'll be spoilt for choice with the plethora of pubs, restaurants and takeaways on offer, perfect for catering for any fussy eaters in the group! After satisfying your appetite, explore the fascinating artefacts and events relating to local life at Discover Downham Heritage Centre, or enjoy a peaceful escape with a leisurely stroll through the scenic woodland of Willows Nature Reserve, soaking in the captivating views as the ducks float along the calm waters of the lake.
