Bedroom
Double bed, hanging space and window seat. Beside the bedroom is the ensuite shower room with toilet, sink, chair and hanging space.
Conservatory
This generous and light-filled room has a sofa, coffee table, table and chairs. The conservatory is fully fitted with blinds to ensure privacy. French doors open out onto the spacious lawn of the private garden - a lovely place to sit and enjoy the sunlight and peace.
Parking
Off-road parking is on the shared driveway from which guests can access their private garden through the picket gate. There is a path leading to the conservatory access door.
Outside
There is seating on the lawn to enjoy the views across the fields and the peace and quiet on a sunny day (south-facing) plus an additional secluded seating area next to the conservatory. The fencing between the drive and the garden is 5ft reed panels and this extends to the back of the house giving you a good level of privacy from the owners' section of the house. The wall along the front, with the metal gate in, is approximately 3ft high.
The fields opposite are wonderful to watch the sun and the running hares and deer that occasionally cross the fields.

We had a very restful stay at Badger's Retreat. Friendly and attentive hosts, generous welcome pack, and the property was warm and comfortable. Garden perfect for small dogs, and loads of really super walks from the door.

We had a delightful long weekend at Badger's Retreat. We had rain and sun in equal measure but were able to enjoy the peace and quiet of the garden and surrounding area. The road going past it has about one car a day. The Weavers Way is 5 minutes walk away and the beautiful beaches a short drive away. We walked to the Swan in Stalham which was very good and also went to Smallsticks and Poppylands cafes which were excellent. When it rained it was cosy to sit and read in the conservatory. The cottage is very comfortable and well equipped. The fully enclosed garden was enjoyed by my spaniel too. We loved it and cant wait to return. Ginny and Willow

The, comparatively new owners, Kerry and Kevin, were very welcoming and helpful when we arrived. The welcoming pack was much appreciated. Not just for humans but treats for the dog. This is the place if you want peace and quite. The beautiful garden was the place to sit, especially in the afternoon and evening, watching across the fields to see buzzards, swallows and occasional deer. We have never seen so many butterflies and small 'bumble bees'. I think they were called Miner Bees. It felt that we were miles from anywhere but in fact we were a short drive to shops, beaches etc. Our 12 yr old retired Guide Dog was very much at home and enjoyed the local walks.
