Spending your break in a holiday cottage in a beautiful part of the UK is a great way to spend some quality time with your loved ones in a homely environment. Depending on the kind of trip you are after, there is a holiday home to suit everyone. There are cottages where dogs are welcome, luxury apartments with private swimming pools, and accommodation with gardens featuring decking and furniture. There are many quaint villages dotted in and around the county of Norfolk in which to rent a cottage, and Cawston in the heart of the Broadland District is a lovely place to stay to explore what the area has to offer.
Cawston is just eleven miles from the city of Norwich and is a friendly village that is home to a local pub, a café and the medieval Church of St Agnes, dating back to the 14th century. The village features lots of cosy cottages to rent for a self-catering break in Norfolk, where you and your friends and family can reside in when visiting the county. These cottages come with fully-equipped kitchens to make the meals you love after a day of discovering the area, plus you can watch a film in the evenings in the living room before retreating to your comfortable bed to get a good night’s sleep. Some of these cottages in Cawston also have outdoor hot tubs or Jacuzzi baths for if you’re after a bit of indulgence on your break.
As well as feeling like a local and wandering around Cawston, you might want to take trips to other nearby villages. Aylsham is a historic market town and is less than five miles from Cawston. Visiting this town makes a great day trip as you can also spend time at the nearby grand country houses and gardens of Blickling Hall, Felbrigg and Mannington.
Even closer to Cawston is Reepham, another pretty market town. Reepham is nice for a little visit and is notable for being one of only two places in all of Europe to have three churches in the same location, although one of these burned down in the 16th century and only a small portion remains.
Cawston is less than a thirty-minute drive from the North Norfolk coast. If you wish to soak up a bit of history, village life and also the sea, then renting a self-catering holiday home here to use as a base to visit nearby areas is a great idea. Norfolk has a lot to offer and it is impossible to see it all in one go, but from Cawston you will certainly see many of the best parts.
