Stroll through ancient woodland at Foxley Wood (3 miles), and enjoy the springtime display of bluebells, or visit the pretty market town of Reepham (3 miles) with its historic marketplace, shops, and pubs.

The kitchen and dining area is fully equipped for cosy meals in with an electric oven and hob, combination microwave, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, and table for two. Down the hallway, there’s a spacious and elegant bedroom with king-size bed, and bathroom with walk-in shower, generous bath, and WC.

Outside, a lawned garden wraps around the side and rear of the property, featuring mature borders filled with flowers and shrubs. Guests can cook on the charcoal BBQ and dine alfresco on the decked area to the sound of birdsong. The front of the property offers private parking.

The cottage is comfortable and well-equipped with a lovely small wild garden. Themelthorpe is blissfully peaceful. There are good walks and National Trust properties nearby. We highly recommend the cottage if you want a restful break to recharge your batteries. It worked for us.

We enjoyed our stay in this property very much. It was a little off the beaten track in a little hamlet down a single track road with plenty of passing places and was so beautifully quiet but it was still very quick and easy to access main roads to explore this part of Norfolk easily. The property had everything we needed for our break and we were Read morewelcomed by the owners. I loved the little vases of flowers from the garden on the windowcills, it was such a thoughtful touch as were the milk, tea, coffee and biscuits. We would definitely recommend this property. Hide

Hawthorn Cottage was a very comfortable home from home. Very spacious for two people. Inside was an extremely well equipped kitchen. Lounge area was lovely with nice big TV. We especially enjoyed the secluded garden which was especially lovely due to great weather allowing us to sit outside, relax and listen to the birds.
