“Strongly recommend this holiday.”

Great accommodation, spacious, spotlessly clean and very comfortable. Delicious brownies, scones and flowers, were very welcome. Loved relaxing in the hot tub. Being on a working farm was a special treat, surrounded by animals and birds in a very peaceful setting. Loved our time in Honeybee Retreat!

“Beautiful accommodation, very well equipped with the little added touches a bonus.”

This really was a wonderful short break we thoroughly enjoyed. There was everything we needed, if we needed something we only had to ask. Would definitely recommend, and well worth a return visit.

“This place is simply stunning.”

We turned up in the dark and the place lights up as you walk down the steps. We didn't get the full beauty of it till morning. We had a beautiful lemon drizzle homemade cake waiting for us and homemade mince pies. They have thought of everything you need. It is a working farm with cows chickens sheep but it was beautifully kept. We will definitely return. 100% recommend.

“The property was absolutely amazing!”

The lodge was well built, keeping in the warmth and letting in loads of light in the mornings. Very clean, spacious and homely.

“You better beeelieve it!”

Delightful and surprisingly roomy hut. Clean and comfortable with the addition of a hot tub just outside. Delicious cheese scones, whole lemon drizzle cake, butter and pint of milk were waiting for us on arrival. Very comfortable large bed. Breakfast is available 8-9am to buy at the farmhouse which we tried the first morning. Good choice and both our options were tasty. I believe you can pre-order afternoon tea. Be aware to only open the windows with mesh covers otherwise you will be swarmed with flies. It’s on a farm so I was woken by roosters at 5am and there are plenty of tractors going past. Adds to the charm but perhaps not for those on a working trip. It’s obvious from the pictures but bring walking boots. Could do with a manual. We asked for the WiFi code so could log into tv apps etc on the large tv. Would have been easier if we could turn down the temperature rather than having to open the windows. Also wardrobe/hanging room could be improved with more than one hanger falling off little hooks. There is a remote that we could not work out what it was for - apparently the wicker lamps. My other half mentioned that he hoped the owners would add a hardstanding so cars don’t get stuck in the mud. It looks like there are development plans on site. We had a lovely holiday and visited Norwich, Cambridge, Kings Lynn and Thetford. Would definitely stay there again.

The property

Upper Marham 5.7 miles. Settled on a charming working farm in the village of Pentney, Norfolk, is Honeybee Retreat, a lovingly crafted, single-storey pod. Hand-built to the highest of standards and surrounded by picture-perfect countryside, as the name suggests, this pod makes the ultimate romantic retreat for a couple, or an idyllic break for a solo traveller. On arrival, take the steps up and into the studio-style layout, noticing the seamless star details on the door at the highest point of the room. Here, you can find all you need for a self-catering stay, with a well-equipped kitchenette for rustling up a quick meal, and a breakfast bar to dine at while you admire the outdoors. Alternatively, you can take your meals outside and sit on the decking, or head down to the lawned level and make use of the shared fire pit/pizza oven before jumping in the hot tub for a long soak. Back inside, freshen up before bed in the shower room, with robes and slippers provided, before stargazing through the roof window or popping a film on the TV. A unique escape in a beautiful area, choose Honeybee Retreat. Note: This property can be booked with Ref. 1131296, 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 £150.
