About this property
The Felmingham is situated in a quintessential rural setting close to the village of Roughton and barely two miles from the premier coastal resort of bustling Cromer. This delightful cottage is a converted farm building forming part of a small complex of nine barns, signposted Jonas Farm Barns. With shared use of a heated indoor pool, this hideaway is a perfect base from which to explore the delights that North Norfolk has to offer, at any time of year.
The barn is on one level and full of character with flint walls, vaulted ceilings and beams, and it is warm and cosy with underfloor heating. Comfortable and well-equipped with an enclosed and attractive courtyard garden, the property enjoys great views across quiet, open farmland leading to the coast. The locality is good for wildlife as guests have spotted hares, red kite and red-legged partridges running around the site. The pool is fabulous with private one hour swim slots bookable daily in the pool entrance when you arrive. Guests love the rare opportunity to enjoy the privacy of a one hour swim to themselves. Apart from in January, the 13 m x 6m heated pool is open daily between 9:00am and 18:00pm for private swimming. Outside the pool complex is a play area, featuring a wooden climbing frame and swings.
The Felmingham's neighbouring property The Heydon, accommodates two guests, and booked with The Felmingham for larger groups.
The Felmingham is a superb base from which to explore this wonderful area of North Norfolk. The area is beautiful with the National Trust properties of Felbrigg and Blickling close by, and the impressive Sheringham Park just a short drive away. Roughton has a petrol station and shop, open 24/7, and a pub serving food. Cromer has an abundance of cafes, restaurants, and some of the best fish and chips for miles around.

We have had a lovely comfortable break here at The Felmingham, enjoying our daily dips in the pool. We love North Norfolk coast and hope to return for another stay here in the future. Thanks.
