Wensum Retreat

Perfect for families or groups of friends with up to two dogs in tow, enjoy this luxury, home-from-home-style retreat in the quaint village of South Raynham in Norfolk’s charming countryside. Surrounded by rural serenity, but also just 15 miles from the seaside, guests here are perfectly positioned to enjoy both a coast and country getaway. Nature enthusiasts can explore the breath-taking Raynham Estate (2 miles), complete with beautiful walking trails, historic buildings, and delightful gardens. For a taste of history, visit the nearby market town of Fakenham (5 miles), famous for its traditional markets and vintage shops. Just a short drive away, the stunning Norfolk coastline (15 miles) beckons with its sandy beaches at Wells-next-the-Sea, with its colourful beach huts, and the marshlands at Burnham Overy Staithe (16 miles).

Upon entering, you are greeted by a stunning open-plan kitchen/diner, complete with a modern Nordic breakfast bar and all the amenities you need to whip up a group feast, which can be enjoyed at the nearby dining table, with space for all guests. Kick back after food in the relaxing and airy sitting room which offers a roaring wood burner to keep you warm after a day in the elements, as well as comfortable seating and a large, Smart TV to watch your favourite films on. When day turns to night, enjoy the choice of five beautifully presented bedrooms, all offering flexible sleeping arrangements to suit every group. The master bedroom boasts a plush, super king-size bed with an en-suite bathroom, as well as access to the tranquil patio space. Two more super-king-size rooms boast en-suite shower rooms, while a king-size bedroom and a family room with a super-king-size bed and bunkbeds complete the sleeping quarters. Serving the bedrooms and completing the interior is a large and well-appointed family bathroom.

The star of the show at this holiday bungalow is the indoor heated pool with sliding doors that open onto a luxurious patio where the hot tub sits pride of place. All under one roof, guests also have access to their very own private games room which includes a bar, kids' area, and gym equipment. The garden includes a lawned area, boasting a beautiful lavender scent, all fully enclosed for your doggy guests. Out here, there is also a covered and heated al fresco dining area with comfortable garden furniture, complete with a fire pit for toasting your toes while enjoying a home-cooked meal on the BBQ.
