About this property

On the edge of the Suffolk Coast aonb, within easy reach of the Norfolk Broads, this detached holiday home is a desirable destination for those seeking waterside walks, endless cycling trips, boat trips and beachy afternoons. Situated between two seaside holiday spots, Great Yarmouth and Lowestoft (both 5 miles), you’re well positioned to keep younger guests entertained with coastal attractions including adventure parks, aquariums and an endless row of beaches. Made for families or friends, the cottage itself is an appealing barn conversion with space for six to stay. It’s also dog-friendly, with Hopton Beach just 2 miles away for games of ball and fetch on the sand.

Extremely spacious both inside and out, enter the inviting lounge, a room with ample comfy seating, a wood burner and a Smart TV, perfect for cosy evenings together. The well-equipped kitchen boasts all you need to cater for the group, who can gather around the kitchen’s dining table to appreciate the chef’s work, enjoying the fresh air that pours through the nearby French doors. Three sumptuous bedrooms beckon, starting with a peaceful king-size room on the ground floor with rural views, and upstairs, a super-king-size room with a Smart TV and en-suite shower room, and a king-size room with another Smart TV, served by this floor’s well-appointed family bathroom. Outside, let dogs play safely in the spacious, enclosed garden that’s laid to lawn, while human guests enjoy an evening tipple on the patio’s outside sofas.

In a peaceful destination, the cottage is 1.5 miles from Hopton-on-Sea, a village with amusement arcades, eateries, and a wide sandy beach to be enjoyed. Known for its marvellous waterways, you won’t be surprised to find a selection of lakes and rivers offering boat rides and pathways for walking as you venture deep into Norfolk’s countryside. Discover the River Waveney (4 miles) and Fritton Lake (5 miles) within easy reach from home.

      Wonderful cottage, kitchen nice and spacious and well equiped, bedrooms nice size, underfloor heating worked really well, great property to stay at plenty of places to go and visit, very close to beaches for nice walks and dogs to run on. Very clean and presentable.

      We have just had a lovely week at the Old Cartshed, Lound. The two main bedrooms are huge and very comfortable and there is a downstairs double room which was ideal for the couple with the dogs. The garden is enclosed and ideal for dogs. There is a large wicker seating set, which we made great use of because of the fabulous weather. It is very convenient for the Broads and other great places on the coast such as Southwold. The local pub is lovely. The kitchen has everything required for cooking lovely meals. Our only complaint, which may have been my fault in not researching properly, is that even though there are 2 bathrooms, only one has a shower in. Very comfortable property.

      A pleasant stay in a good location. An ideal base from which to explore the area - easy reach of Great Yarmouth, Lowestoft, Hemsby. A very spacious and the dog loved it! Wi-fi very good, able to work remotely for a couple of mornings. When the bed broke it was repaired very quickly - thank you.
