    “My husband and I loved our stay at the Dragon Fly.”

    The host and his wife treated us like family! We were greeted with delicious baked goods, homemade jam and sausage rolls upon arrival. Our pod was very clean, comfortable and contained everything we needed during our stay. We loved sitting in the hot tub and watching the cows and calves interact, while the herd moved around the field grazing. Totally relaxing environment! Thank you for a great stay!

The property

Upper Marham 5.7 miles. Dragonfly Retreat, a beautifully-made single-story pod, is located on a charming working farm in the town of Pentney, Norfolk. This pod is hand-built to the highest standards and surrounded by picture-perfect scenery, making it the ideal romantic hideaway for a couple or an idyllic holiday for a lone traveller. When you arrive, walk the steps up and into the studio-style layout, noting the flawless star details on the door at the room's highest point. You'll find everything you need for a self-catering stay here, including a well-equipped kitchenette for whipping up a quick dinner and a breakfast bar to dine at while admiring the scenery. Alternatively, you can eat your meals outside on the decking, or stroll down to the lawned level and use the shared fire pit/pizza oven before soaking in the hot tub. Back inside, rinse off before bed in the shower room, which comes equipped with robes and slippers, before stargazing through the roof window or watching a film on the TV to unwind. Choose Dragonfly Retreat for a one-of-a-kind holiday in a gorgeous setting. Note: This property can be booked with Ref. 1131297, together sleeping up to four guests.

Little Abbey Farm Pods

Little Abbey Farm Pods consist of a collection of two thoughtfully-designed, studio-style pods resting in lovely grounds in the village of Pentney, Norfolk. Both with hot tubs, indoor and outdoor kitchens, and completed to the highest standards, the pods make a superb choice for two couples of friends looking to retreat to the countryside. Overlooking a pond in one direction and actively farmed grounds with sheep, cows and chickens in the other, the true country feel makes the pods a special choice, any time of year. The site is also home to a B&B where the owners kindly extend their services, including use of the breakfast room and you can even order fresh, homemade food, including cakes, and farm produce straight to your pod for that extra bit of rest during your trip. The peaceful location extends into the heart of the country village, with Pentney homing a Pentney Abbey, the castle ruins and its original walls which surround the village; for the more active members of your group, Pentney Lakes is also fantastic for water skiing. Within reach is the waterside historical Hanseatic town of King’s Lynn, with easy access to Cambridge and Ely too. For historians of your group, there are many National Trust Houses to explore, including Oxborough Hall and St George’s Guildhall. A wealth of characterful market towns can also be reached by car, such as Wisbech, home to the amazing historic Peckover House and Gardens, and the city of Peterborough, ideal for a day of shopping and dining. For those looking to sit back and enjoy the nature-filled area, find Welney Wash Wetlands for birdwatching nearby, along with nature reserves and wildlife centres to explore. If you simply want to venture out on foot or by bike, the area is full of lanes, paths and roads to explore and make your own adventure! Whatever you get up to on your Norfolk holiday, choose Little Abbey Farm Pods as your base.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £200.
