Driftway Stables Retreat
Description
Driftway Stables Retreat is a timber-framed historical period cottage peacefully tucked away in the centre of its own 12 acres of land, it sits at the end of a 300 metre track (manicured) with an abundance of wildlife right on your doorstep.
Oozing charm and character in every room, this cosy cottage offers ancient inglenooks.
It offers a truly peaceful retreat for couples and families who enjoy nature and the wildlife rich countryside, with walks direct from the property and the owners’ horses on site.
Tucked away from the bustle, step inside this traditional and comfortable home, the sort of place where days unfold gently, shaped by walks, good food and time spent together.
Upon arrival you have a key safe so you can arrive at your leisure.
A welcome food pack awaits you in the fully equipped kitchen set up for self-catering, along with an honesty bar for a cool beer or glass of wine.
The sitting room is a welcoming place to settle into with its woodburning stove under a massive inglenook, all adding to its character as you curl up with a book, a film, or simply enjoy the peace and quiet.
Awaiting you up one flight of stairs, you'll find two luxurious bedrooms complete with flickering candles.
One bedroom has a super king-size bed, inglenook and en-suite toilet, the second bedroom has a king-size bed and single bed.
There is also a well-presented shower room with a basin and WC.
The garden is a peaceful spot to enjoy morning coffee or sit and listen to the evening chorus of birds and the deer’s barking whilst soaking up the calm of the surrounding countryside.
There is ample off-road parking, even a secure dry barn for parking your precious car or motorbikes.
From the cottage, you can walk to The White Horse pub and enjoy a meal in its restaurant.

What guests are saying
We received a warm welcome from the owners Tina and Mark.
The property is delightfully quirky and full of character. It has a lovely lounge and comfortable large beds. It was fully equipped with everything we needed, and we were surprised by the nice welcome pack. Lots of nice places close by to visit, picturesque villages and only 45 minutes from Norwich park and ride. Nothing is too much trouble for the owners and we would love to return.
An absolute gem of a cottage.
Quirky, classy furnishings, well equipped and in a peaceful convenient location. Tina and Mark could not have been more welcoming to us. It was a bonus to be able to make friends with the beautiful horses alongside Tina during her feeding and care rounds. We will be looking to go again for a longer period next year.
WOW, Driftway Stables Retreat was an absolute pleasure from beginning to end.
Tina and Mark could not have been more accommodating to us and thoroughly deserve top rating. The cottage is like going back in history, beautifully presented with everything you need for a comfortable holiday. The peace and quiet is superb, we all slept like "logs" in the huge comfy beds. We had BBQ's in the garden and walked to the local pub - which is about half a mile. The icing on the cake for me, was being allowed to help Tina feed the horses, under her supervision, which was brilliant. Diss is only 6 miles away, a small town with all amenities and good local history. We also found a local Garden Centre with a very good and reasonably priced restaurant/cafe and only about 3 miles from the cottage. This was an excellent property and holiday choice and would certainly recommend it. Tina and Mark are outstanding hosts and nothing was too much trouble, we felt extremely well looked after. We will definitely be going back again and a HUGE thank you to both of them.
