About this property

Romantic and rustic, the Little Potting Shed in Fring is the perfect Norfolk getaway for two. Situated on a private estate and nestled alongside a formal walled garden, this unique location offers an escape from the everyday, with seasonal access to an outdoor heated swimming pool and tennis courts included in your booking.

Bijou, rustic and utterly romantic - the owner has taken great care to ensure its former life as a potting shed has been retained. Yet it includes mod cons too which work cleverly together to deliver country living in a relaxed style. Accessed using a golf buggy, and with an outside bath tub to boot, you won't find anywhere else quite like this to soothe your cares away.

The open plan living/dining/kitchen area is charming with vaulted ceiling and unpainted walls to retain the authenticity of the building and create a striking contrast. The kitchen is small but perfectly formed and comes with Belfast sink with brass taps along with all the essentials you will need. The comfy double bedroom is divine with vaulted ceiling, exposed wooden beams and Velux window which makes the room beautifully bright during the day and at night offers a glimpse of the stars above. The wet room next door has a surprisingly spacious walk-in shower with a large rose.

Finishing touches are charming; we just love the old wooden boards, cosy sofa positioned to snuggle up on a cooler nights and little pots of herbs. In addition, there's a small television with Apple TV and there's Wifi if you need to get back in touch with the outside world. The whole idea of this little detached retreat though is to get away from the influences of every day life hence, no terrestrial TV. What guests really love is the outside bath tub, which you can fill with hot water and bubbles and enjoy a glass of champagne as you watch the sun go down. Choose between a private fenced terrace with seating, and a lawned garden with garden furniture offering extensive views over the Fring Estate and the surrounding rural landscape. A communal swimming pool and tennis court are available for guest use from May to the end of September 10am - 4pm.

Perfect for couples or single travellers, guests are afforded ample peace and quiet to enjoy a sense of isolation, yet there is access to the parkland and woodland that surround the estate. And of course, you are only a short drive from a great pub and shop at Docking, and Brancaster beach just beyond.

    Fantastic.

    Enjoyed our stay. Lovely accommodation. A bigger bed would have been preferred and this would put us off coming again. Also A couple of sun loungers in the garden. The weather was lovely whilst there and going back after a day of exploring and laying in the sun would have been nice. But loved the estate, the pool and watching the sunset on the mound.

    Our stay at the Little Potting Shed was lovely. The relatively small indoor space was more than made up for by the beautiful and spacious outdoor areas and amenities including the pool. The location is fantastic with easy access to cycling and walking trails, and only 10-15 minutes drive from the coast. The contact-free check in process and comparative isolation from the other properties on the estate made this perfect for a relaxing week as a couple.
