Characterful, peaceful, and super romantic, this cottage has exposed beams in every room, and a delightful, enclosed garden. Escape with your loved one to this quiet spot in the Norfolk countryside.

Store your coats and boots in the porch area before entering the impressive open-plan living space. High, vaulted ceilings combined with exposed beams and neutral decor, this is a fabulous place to relax, eat together, and enjoy quiet evenings in. Fire up the warming wood burner and curl up on the sofa in front of the TV, after you have rustled up a romantic meal in the kitchen and eaten around the dining table. When you are ready to get some much-needed sleep, head into the bedroom where there is a welcoming double bed. Completing the interior is a contemporary bathroom which contains a sumptuous free-standing bath. Outside, you will find an enclosed garden with a large lawn area and a patio complete with BBQ and garden furniture, dine alfresco on a balmy evening. There is also a handy tap out here so you can wash down bikes, dog paws or mucky shoes.

Whether you are a couple that prefers gently strolling the stunning countryside, or seeking out adventures on your bikes, you will find plenty of options within easy reach such as the spectacular Thetford Forest (16 miles) or the scenic Knettishall Heath Country Park and Nature Reserve (9.5 miles). Banham is a pretty little village with a pub, a local shop, and the intriguing Banham Zoo (1 mile), home to more than 2,000 animals.
