Guests say

Badger's Hideaway is a charming cottage in Norfolk, repeatedly praised for its character, modern decor, and expansive garden. Its proximity to tourist destinations and a comprehensive local guide provided by the owners enhance the stay. The property is ideal for summer days and offers a comfortable retreat with a touch of historical charm.

There is no specific mention of cleanliness in the reviews, so it is not possible to provide an accurate score.

The location is highly regarded, being within 20-30 minutes of popular tourist spots like Wells-next-the-sea and Hunstanton, and offering good walks.

The cottage's character, old beams, inglenook fireplace, and modern decor suggest a high level of comfort, though no explicit details are provided.

The property is described as having all the necessary equipment, but the garden is noted as not being completely secure for dogs, indicating a slight issue with maintenance.

While the owners' provision of a local guide is a thoughtful touch, there is no mention of gifts, so it is not possible to score this category.

About this property

Experience the exquisite character of this delightful cottage in Helhoughton, which nestles right at the heart of Norfolk. Sleeping four guests, the two-bedroom retreat, 4.5 miles from Fakenham, has an abundance of original character, from timber beams to exposed brick and flintwork. It has an exceptionally large, lawned garden where you can unwind out in the sunshine and any four-legged members of your party can stroll about freely. It is also ideal for long country walks and days out to the coast.

Return from your excursions to unwind in the lounge together, in front of a roaring wood burner in the inglenook fireplace, perhaps, and a film on the Smart TV. Stroll through to the kitchen/diner to rustle up delicious dinners with the produce you have sourced from local farm shops and markets. Serve up at the table in here or through in the conservatory and sit around chatting afterwards long into your holiday evenings. Play games or even pick out a tune on the keyboard through in the conservatory before bed. When you are ready to lay your head on your pillow, climb the staircase up from the lounge to a double bedroom on the first floor or a twin up on the second floor. There is a family shower room downstairs at the cottage. Dine outside in the beautiful garden as often as possible and play games with the children on the grass.

Have a day out to Wells-next-the-Sea, 13.5 miles away, with its impressive beach that stretches for miles out to sea when the tide is out. Brancaster Beach, 15.5 miles away, with its sand dunes, is also a beautiful place to swim. Visit Houghton Hall and Gardens, 6 miles away, or go a little further, 12.5 miles from the cottage, to wander through the parkland at Sandringham.

      A beautiful cottage in a very quiet location. Everything you need is provided and the cottage is lovely and warm. We loved the original furniture especially the wardrobe. Lovely big, secure garden which the dog really enjoyed. We had a fabulous October break and would love to return in the summer to make the most of the garden.

      Nice cottage in a good location with all the equipment needed. Garden is enclosed but not 100% secure for dogs.

    • Mr French

      Nice fairly remote cottage with good walks and places to eat a drive away.
