Everything you could imagine in a traditional old Norfolk cottage, Brooke Cottage boasts many charming features, including a huge inglenook fireplace with wood burning stove, pine latched doors, a brass bed and views over the village green.
Upon entering the cottage, you are welcomed into a quaint sitting / dining area featuring original oak beams and impressive inglenook fireplace.

The dining area offers seating for four guests around an attractive farmhouse table. Continue through to the good-sized family room which provides further seating, including a comfortable sofa-bed, around an electric wood burning style fire.
