Description
You feel as though you have gone back in time at the idyllic, Grade II listed Saxlingham Cottage. With parts of this atmospheric cottage dating back to the 15th century, you will enjoy a fabulous holiday in the richness of Saxlingham Cottage’s rustic heritage. Situated deep in the South Norfolk countryside, the cottage’s location means that you can explore both the North Norfolk coastline and the fabulous Suffolk Heritage Coast as well as the wonderful market town of Norwich and the surrounding countryside. With two charming bedrooms, this cottage sleeps four guests.
Saxlingham Cottage has been magnificently refurbished to provide excellent, comfortable accommodation with all the modern comforts you could hope for. Charm and rusticity are truly the immediately apparent themes as you walk through the house. Characterful beamed walls, vaulted and beamed ceilings, pamment tiled floors, an inglenook fireplace and exposed flint and brick walls all offer charm and wonder. Saxlingham Cottage offers such a warm and inviting ambience, it is pure magic.
The kitchen diner is just a few steps down from the charming entrance lobby. It is atmospheric and features an electric range cooker within the large inglenook fireplace, country styled kitchen units, warm traditional pamment tiles on the floor, an old pine dining table and a gorgeous terracotta palette on the walls, perfectly matching the pamment tiles. The kitchen then follows a narrow, winding staircase to the first floor sitting room. It is this room, with its beamed vaulted ceiling, exposed wall timbers and ancient wooden floor boards where guests can enjoy the full magic of this wonderful cottage. Chesterfield sofas, stag heads and ancient cabinets displaying old china complete the picture. The low windows offer delightful village views.
Saxlingham Cottage boasts two quaint double bedrooms, one on each of the floors. The ground floor bedroom enjoys a brass double bed surrounded by ancient beams. It sits alongside the family bathroom with its corner bath and shower overhead. The second bedroom is nestled under the eaves and is equally atmospheric with an iron framed double bed.
Beyond the kitchen you will find an intimate, secluded courtyard adorned with pretty, colourful plant pots, mature shrubs and fragrant jasmine climbing the walls. It is a great spot to dine alfresco or enjoy a pre-dinner drink. To the front of the cottage you will find a bench to enjoy the sunshine and village views as well as an outdoor dining set. The village is charming and nearby you can enjoy the Boudicca Way Trail, fishing on the Taswood Lakes or a shopping trip to Norwich. /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 is 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.
