The Experience

Arrive in a quintessential English village with tea rooms, church and green; from here you swing into the Heydon Hall estate and, hidden down a rough track in the grounds, is your attractive redbrick cottage. On the day we visited swathes of snowdrops nodded their heads in greeting. Inside it’s a comfortable space to stretch out for a week; no WiFi and intermittent phone signal leave you time for books and board games. Owner Sarah (who does B&B in another cottage on the estate) is generous – free logs for the wood-burner, deep John Lewis mattresses, fresh flowers in the practical kitchen. Up steep winding stairs to three restful rooms with a quirky circular layout; enter the light, airy double; through here is the beamed twin; then step down to the bunkroom and from here you arrive in the spick and span bathroom (no shower) which takes you back to the double! It’s all rather charming and fun. Through your tiny walled garden there’s parkland and woodland to explore, and further afield you’ll find bikes to hire, NT houses and the coast. Head out to a pub supper, then back for a nightcap in front of the fire in the lovely living room.

Reviews

Catherine, Norwich

Thank you for a very happy holiday. Laundry Cottage has been a wonderful place to share quality time with our family! We all love it too!! Looking forward to our next stay! Holly says: I saw a blue tit and a deer, it was so cute. Also lots of flowers, so pretty, purple.


Juliet, Farnham

Lovely to spend New Year in this dear little cottage in the woods. The village is like something out of time, long may it continue to be so. Loved walking around the well-kept parkland & the dog was in his element surrounded by pheasants – he couldn’t understand why he wasn’t allowed off lead! Blickling well worth a visit, although it was heaving on our visit as it was a Bank Holiday. Sheringham Park was also good, lots of walks & views (NT). Enjoyed good food at The Walpole Arms. Looking forward to another visit in the spring.


Romilly, London

It’s hard to put into words how much we love it here. Our time spent in the place we feel so very at home is hugely cherished. If only we could be here all the time. We had the most wonderful Christmas, the kids as ever in their element; time spent walking, talking and running around outside. We went to see the lights at Blickling which was fabulous! Can’t wait to be back in a couple of months. Sarah, as always, thank you for everything.


Roderick, Nr.Banbury

We had an absolutely lovely week in Laundry Cottage. It is a very special place in a very special location. The cottage is along a track from the local village (pub and tea room) and in a wood that is on the Heydon Hall estate. The attractions of the local area are many and varied, but the thing that sets Laundry Cottage apart is the amazing location. You are in your own little world, with only the birds for company. Our fondest memory is of having breakfast outside in the small front garden, whilst our dog played on the grass that surrounds the cottage. So very peaceful.


Sarah, Newark

Just returned from this beautiful cottage in the woods and feel as though l've left a piece of my heart there. Was the perfect place for our family to spend some quality time and couldn't have faulted it. One of the best places we've stayed in. Will definitely be returning soon.
