Heading upstairs, beyond the ground-floor cloakroom and laundry facilities, be welcomed by two spacious bedrooms, boasting storage, stunning countryside views, and proximity to the main bathroom, inclusive of a roll top bath; take a long soak before retreating to either the king-size or twin rooms, where you can switch off for the night.

Holt Country Park, Houghton Hall & Gardens Norfolk, and the preserved remains of Castle Acre Priory are all popular sights to visit within the Norfolk region. Explore them by using 1 Chelsea Cottage as your family's base.
North Elmham, a small and quiet village in Norfolk, is known in Old English as the 'settlement where elm grows.' It is a lovely region with plenty of lands and a lake to explore. It's a history buff's dream come true, with the ruins of a Norman Chapel turned into a fortified mansion and an array of English Heritage sites nearby. It also has a variety of activities to enjoy during your visit, such as a tennis club for an afternoon of sport, Afternoon Tea at The Kings Head Hotel, or a countryside pub lunch in the midst of breath-taking landscape. Close by in Billingford, you'll find a fantastic fishing lake, excellent for spending quality time with the kids, or Churchill's shooting ground, which offers an action-packed experience you'll never forget.

Everything was of very high quality and all systems worked perfectly. Getting out of the narrow parking spot onto a blind bend in the road was a bit hairy so we parked down the road apart from when unloading and loading. Traffic was mercifully light.

Pity the detached garden building blocks the garden view from the conservatory (it's fair to say this is shown in the pictures). Neverthtless, a great stay.

Although on a B road, the insulation is so good that we hardly heard the traffic. Reversing into the parking space is a challenge, but there is the option of parking further up the road.
