A great destination for couples, friends or small families, this fabulous cottage has heaps of character and has been cleverly designed to be a tranquil getaway. Surrounded by glorious countryside, it’s within easy reach of so much to do, whether you prefer walking and wildlife-spotting, historic attractions or discovering high-quality places to eat and drink.
With its steeply pitched roof and back-painted timber cladding, this excellent getaway makes a striking first impression. Inside, it’s cleverly designed for comfort and style. The lounge/diner boasts a tiled floor and exposed brick wall, with a sofa, Smart TV and dining table for four. Head through to the compact kitchen and you’ll find everything necessary for preparing holiday snacks and meals, including a slimline dishwasher and that all-important coffee machine. The simple single bedroom on this floor can be adapted for two by pulling out the trundle bed. It has the use of a stylish shower room. Reached via cottage-stye stairs, and with areas of low, sloping ceiling, the king-size bedroom encompasses the entire first floor, including a seating area with lovely rural views, a Juliet balcony and a delightful en-suite shower room. Outside, a shingled garden space is furnished for outdoor suppers or drinks in the fresh air and sunshine.
The barn is located in the village of Thurton, where you’ll find a traditional pub serving a choice of food and drink, while just 2 miles away is the family-run Chet Valley Vineyard. The beautiful Raveningham Gardens is only 6 miles away. For walks and activities head to Whitlingham Country Park, 8.5 miles, or Carlton Marshes, 16 miles. In the lovely city of Norwich, 8.5 miles away, you can tour the castle and cathedral, indulge in some retail therapy or discover great places to eat.

Great cottage, very quiet, very clean and good location
Mrs Hollingsworth
A really lovely place to stay. Its not as isolated as the photo may lead one to believe , and that's a good thing. The property is really very well speced out and the renovations have been done recently and to a very high standard. Internally it is spacious and outside there is a lovely seating area to have morning coffee on a warm day. We had a week here and its a lovely base to go and visit the surrounding area.Highly recommended
Mr Hansen
We found the Cart Lodge clean, comfortable and pleasant to relax in. The first floor bedroom is delightfully spacious, though the 'lounge/dining' area is quite cramped with comfortable seating for only two adults. We greatly enjoyed our stay, even though the weather was awful!
