Norfolk self catering holiday cottage for 2

"A very pleasant week in one of the best cottages we have ever stayed in. Very welcoming hosts and a really nice part of the country, which we had forgotten was quite so nice."

"The cottage & its outlook are perfect. We’ve been transfixed by the passing chickens, guineafowl, ducks & deer"

"Loved the wildlife, and the highlight of the week for us had to be watching the beautiful Barn Owl each evening... breathtaking. When can we move in

Romulus is wonderful, a genuine retreat for two - a truly magical place to relax away from the stresses of modern life, with all the little luxuries you’d expect. This spacious and beautifully presented property has stunning views across open fields of the village church and plenty of outdoor space to enjoy.

Inside the rooms are all on one floor. There’s a large open plan living space, a double bedroom and an en-suite bath/shower room. Outside there’s a large patio area with garden furniture and uninterrupted views across open countryside. There are footpaths close by for you to explore and a pub with real ales within a 10 minute walk.

Open living/dining/kitchen room: This large room has living area with a two seater sofa and a wicker chair with cushions, TV with DVD player, a wooden dining table and chairs and a kitchen with built-in appliances including an electric hob and oven, dishwasher, and microwave (see below for details of the washing machine). There are two double patio doors with super views across open fields and woods.

Bedroom: A light and airy room with a double bed, built-in wardrobe, chest of drawers and bedside tables.

En suite: There’s a bath with a shower over it, a hand basin, w.c. and towel radiator.

All the rooms have tiled floors and underfloor heating.

Outside: There is a large patio with a table and chairs for dining on warm days and off road parking. The patio is screened from the neighbouring holiday cottage, with both cottages sharing a large lawned area beyond. Please note that traffic noise can sometimes be heard depending on the wind direction.  A washing machine is available in a nearby outbuilding.

On our visit we saw occasional guinea fowl, chickens and ducks grazing on the lawn. The farmer explained that a chicken often visits his house to lay an egg in his armchair – what a good home delivery service!

Romulus is one of a pair of Norfolk self-catering cottages at Manor Farm in Larling. Click here to see details of the second property, which sleeps four people. There are a number of footpaths and bridal ways nearby crossing open fields and countryside. There’s a pub within a ten minute walk which is owned by the brother of the farmer so you can be assured of a warm welcome. The farm is close to the A11 and convenient for trips into both Norfolk and Suffolk.

There are many local attractions in the area, including Thetford Forest which is ideal for walking and cycling (if you’re feeling more adventurous try the ‘Go Ape’ high wire experience at High Lodge where you’ll be fitted with a harness before tackling rope bridges, and zip slides high above the forest floor!).

Then there’s Banham Zoo and Grimes Graves, a 5,000 year old flint mine where visitors can decend 30 feet by ladder to explore one of the excavated shafts. Further afield there’s Oxburgh Hall, a beautiful 15th century moated house owned by the National Trust, with secret doors and a priest hole; and then there’s Norwich with it’s beautiful cathedral, historic buildings and independent shops.

All prices include 100% cotton bed linen and towels, heating and electricity plus a welcome bottle of wine and biscuits to help you get your break off to a relaxing start.

This holiday cottage in Norfolk is equipped with under-floor heating throughout, an electric hob and oven, dishwasher, washing machine (in a nearby outbuilding), fridge with a small freezer compartment, microwave, a flat screen TV, and DVD player.
