Somerleyton

Somerleyton: Suffolk

Large groups looking to explore the expansive Norfolk landscape will love all that this stunning Georgian home has to offer. Located just a fifteen-minute walk from the charming village of Somerleyton, with its grand hall and traditional pubs, there's plenty to see and do in the area – walking, and cycle paths, boats for hire in St. Olaves. The nearest beach is a quick ten-minute drive away, while the lovely seaside towns of Gorleston and Great Yarmouth are approximately twenty minutes in the car. But we really wouldn't blame you if you stayed put at home. After all, the main house boasts a pool table, a large lounge, an impressive dining room and four elegant bedrooms. On top of that, guests can delight in sweeping views of Waveney Valley. Wander out into the sprawling picturesque garden, and you’ll find a rustic fire pit and wood-burning hot tub to pass the time in. There’s also a delightful shepherd's hut where two additional guests can stay, providing an intimate space to enjoy a little more peace, quiet and privacy close to nature. Reconnect with the countryside at this lovely retreat and explore the Norfolk Broads and Suffolk Heritage Coast.

Home truths:
*This home has quite a lot of stairs and therefore is not suitable for those with limited mobility
*We highly recommend a car for exploring this area, and the home has plenty of private parking on the driveway
*One of the bathrooms on the ground floor does not have a shower, so guests in the adjacent bedroom will have to use a different bathroom
*The water is on a cylinder so it may run out after several consecutive baths – however, it does not take long to heat up again
*The shepherd's hut doesn't have a full kitchen, so you'll need to cook larger meals in the main house
*You'll need to provide your own charcoal for the barbecue
