Dog friendly holiday cottage, sleeps 2 - Burgh St Peter, Norfolk

A delightful, cosy, single-level cottage on a working farm is the perfect setting for couples or solo travellers seeking a restful rural holiday with easy access to the Norfolk and Suffolk coast. The village of Burgh St Peter is in the Norfolk Broads with the Waveney River Centre (0.5 miles), allowing you to rent your own boat for a day exploring the River Waveney. Nature lovers can take the foot ferry across to the Suffolk Wildlife Trusts Carlton Marshes Nature Reserve, with bird-watching hides and a visitor centre with a cafe.

This attractive, newly renovated barn (2022) is full of stylish decor and original charm. As you enter, your eye will be drawn by the striking exposed wooden beams that bring a rustic character to a bright, spacious open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner. The lounge area features an inviting sofa to sink onto at the end of your day's activities.

Relax, chat and watch a movie together on the Smart TV. Whether you need a hearty brunch or a romantic dinner, the contemporary kitchen has all the appliances you need to rustle up some tasty treats. When it is time to rest, there is a king-size bedroom with an en-suite shower room.

Stepping outside, you'll find a large, enclosed garden. The patio area with garden furniture is perfect for you to relax and dine alfresco on fine evenings. You'll find off-road parking for two cars.

For those seeking a beautiful nature reserve and the beach, head 15 miles to Benacre National Nature Reserve and look out for wildlife in the lagoons and reedbeds before taking a stroll along beautiful Covehithe Beach. Walkers have plenty of varied options with Waveney/Fritton Wood and Lound Lakes less than 10 miles away. Along the coast, Gorleston-on-Sea (11 miles) is a must-visit for its wide, curving sandy beach and impressive cliff gardens.
