As a small market town situated in the heart of Norfolk, Dereham is widely known for its miles and miles of beautiful farming landscapes. Seen as a great base for either travelling to the county’s excellent coastal areas or for relaxing and unwinding alongside the ones you love, renting a holiday cottage here should be high up on your priority list for the next sunny weekend.
The perfect retreat for loved up couples or for laugh out loud moments with friends and family, your holiday home in Dereham is one that can offer an escape route from the city and provide an introduction to the serene splendour of country life. With some of the county’s most popular walks right on your doorstep such as the Ted Ellis Walk and Gressenhall/Beetley routes, you can enjoy achieving your 10,000 steps by roaming freely amongst nature, breathing in the fresh coastal air and immersing yourself in the surrounding scenery.
If you’re loving the great outdoors that Dereham can provide, then you’ll be equally as enamoured by your private enclosed garden located around the back of the luxurious property. Providing ample space in which to play a series of sports on the lush, green grass, enjoy a smoky BBQ with a chilled glass of sparkling wine or to watch the notorious Norfolk sunsets in all their glory on the provided outdoor furniture, this little part of paradise is somewhere where the local wildlife regularly come out to play.
As soon as you step foot into your property, you will be warmly welcomed as a Norfolkian. Cook up a storm in the self-catered fully furnished kitchen, whether it be making a heart-warming cooked breakfast or preparing an evening feast that’s fit for a king in the adjacent dining room. Alternatively, you can put your feet up and continue watching your favourite boxset from the comfy furniture in the cosy sitting room. All the sweeter when dressed down in your PJ’s and perched next to the winter warming wood burner!
Dereham not only has a thriving weekly market but also offers its visitors a chance to explore local attractions in the town like a beautifully restored Grade II listed windmill, the 16th century timber framed and thatched Bishop Bonner’s Cottage Museum and the fascinating St Nicholas’s Church. All of which are mere minutes away from your charming and characterful holiday cottage.
Set on the picturesque Norfolk Broads and close to the hustle and bustle of nearby towns and cities such as Kings Lynn and Norwich, your beautiful holiday cottage in Dereham is a great place in which to rest your weary legs before spreading your wings further afield. Located on the route of the breath-taking Mid Norfolk Railway, a heritage trust-owned line that culminates at the 12th century Wymondham Abbey and includes steam trains and 1950’s railcars amongst its camaraderie, you’ll certainly be on the right track if you go ahead and decide to book you and your loved ones a holiday cottage in one of Norfolk’s hidden gems.
