Description
Set in a delightful area dating back to the Norman conquest, the characterful Rockland Cart Lodge is a perfect choice for a romantic getaway. With a master suite and a charming twin bedroom, this little gem in the Norfolk Broads sleeps four guests and would also suit a small family or two couples if you don’t want to keep it all to yourselves.
Situated in the pretty village of Rockland-St-Mary, Rockland Cart Lodge is perfectly positioned to enjoy the Norfolk Broads, the vibrant city of Norwich as well as the North Norfolk Coast and Southwold on the stunning Suffolk Heritage Coast. There are several National Trust estates within easy reach and the countryside surrounding this fabulous holiday home is simply gorgeous.
Rockland Cart Lodge offers peaceful simplicity within this sympathetically restored barn. With calm, neutral colour palettes, delightfully adorned little nooks from the past, ceiling beams reflecting the impressive craftmanship of years gone by, exposed brickwork, high vaulted ceilings and luxurious, sumptuous furnishings, the lodge is an absolute delight. The huge bi-fold doors open to the very pretty garden and flood the living space with bright Norfolk light.
The main living space is open plan in design, taking full advantage of the high cathedral ceiling. The stone coloured, shaker-style contemporary kitchen looks amazing against the exposed brick wall and offers the chef wonderful appliances. At the far end, a comfy corner sofa looks out to the pretty garden and over to the huge television mounted on the wall. Guests can open the bifold doors to enjoy alfresco dining as well as the hot tub. Rockland Cart Lodge certainly knows how to combine a tasteful mix of traditional charm and modern comforts.
The garden is an absolute delight. It is completely private and offers wonderful alfresco dining on the patio, beautiful plants in beds, tubs and climbing the walls including the fabulous wisteria. Once you have got the children into their beds, it is surely time to pour yourselves a delicious glass of wine and slip into the hot tub for a romantic wind-down. You can watch the stars and listen for birdsong. What bliss!
The elegant master suite enjoys a king-size bed, a wonderful, beamed ceiling, an immaculate shower room and lovely views. The twin is another beautiful room with exposed beams and the unpretentious sense of style that flows throughout this splendid barn. There is also a gorgeous family bathroom which looks stunning with an exposed brick wall.
Rockland Cart Lodge is elegant and beautiful in a very understated way, a wonderfully romantic and peaceful retreat. /n Security deposit /n £200 to be paid prior to arrival and to be refunded in full subject to a damage inspection on departure /n Arrival time /n 4pm /n Departure time /n 10am /n Energy costs included? /n Yes, included in the rental price /n Linen & towels included? /n Yes, included in the rental price /n End of stay cleaning included? /n Yes, included in the rental price /n Internet access? /n Yes, Wi-Fi included in the rental price /n Changeover day /n Friday /n Minimum stay /n Please note that there is a 3-night minimum stay, this may be increased to 7-nights across peak dates /n Pets welcome? /n A maximum of 1 well-behaved dog is allowed on request for an additional charge of £25, per stay.
