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. Walk to the village pub for supper then back for a nightcap in front of the fire in the lovely living room.

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.

An idyllic cottage! A fairy tale, Handsel and Gretel cottage set in its own little clearing in the forest. Total privacy; sunlight filtering over and through the trees, daffodils fading and being replaced by spring blossom; a cosy wood burner. We ate breakfast and enjoyed aperitifs in the little low walled front garden, and enjoyed the sunlit view of the trees from the bath each morning. Perfect for a romantic weekend, a family holiday or cycling base to explore Norfolk. Set in the beautiful Heydon Hall estate with idyllic village and unspoiled pub. Wonderful!

Laundry cottage is the most peaceful relaxing place to stay. We have been several times, and it never ceases to amaze how special this little time capsule is. The most annoying thing about the place is its so flipping popular, we can't always get booked!!!! Love the place, and Sarah bulwar long is an absolute darling, a wonderful lady. Looking forward to our next visit.

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.
