Holiday cottages to rent in Banham
 

There are so many lovely holiday home accommodations to rent all over the UK to suit whatever kind of self-catering break you are after. If you are travelling with the whole family, then there are baby and child friendly accommodations to rent, or you might want to go for a single storey bungalow if someone you are travelling with needs to avoid stairs. Whether you choose a secluded and private cottage or somewhere in the hustle and bustle of a thriving town or village, there is a holiday cottage for everyone.

South Norfolk is very pretty

The village of Banham in the south of Norfolk makes for a nice base in which to explore and relax. If you are travelling with children, then they will love Banham Zoo which is home to over two thousand animals from around the globe and makes for a fun, family day out. The zoo features daily animal feeding talks, a penguin cove, big cats including tigers and a safari road train. For the more daring there is an aerial trekking course and zip wire, and of course there are plenty of places to enjoy a bite to eat after a fun-filled day.

Feel like a local on holiday

Banham is a quiet little village home to only a couple of thousand people. Because of this, it has a friendly, local feel about it, and if you want to feel like a resident on your holiday cottage break then Banham is a good choice.

A day on the coast

For day trips, you can easily visit other parts of Norfolk on your break such as the market town of Diss which is just seven miles away and makes for a nice visit. Diss is located in the valley of the River Waveney and is home to a museum and a number of historic buildings. Also close to Banham is Thetford which is 12 miles away. Here, you can explore the magical Thetford Forest which is the largest lowland pine forest in the UK and is perfect for a family picnic beneath the trees.

If you wish to visit a beach on your cottage holiday in Banham, then the popular resort of Great Yarmouth is about one hours’ drive from the village and is fantastic for another day trip. Great Yarmouth features a sandy beach and two piers, as well as an amusement park full of thrilling rides.

Stay in the village of Banham

Banham is a brilliant choice of village for a self-catering cottage holiday in Norfolk as there is so much to see and do in the vicinity. The village itself is quiet but as it is home to the zoo, the kids will love being able to visit and get up close to the animals, and you can relax back in your accommodation after discovering what this area has to offer.
