Dereham, Norfolk

Bears Cottage, located in Dereham, Norfolk, is a luxurious detached self-catering accommodation that comfortably sleeps seven guests across four bedrooms. Nestled within 200 acres of private woodland, this unique retreat is a short drive from the stunning Norfolk coast and charming local villages. The surrounding woodlands, rich with history, feature specimen trees planted in the 1850s and provide over ten miles of private paths for cycling, riding, or leisurely exploration, making it an ideal destination for nature enthusiasts seeking tranquility and escape.

Restored in 2016, Bears Cottage beautifully combines modern amenities with its original charm. The old stables have been transformed into an expansive kitchen and open-plan living area, characterized by a vaulted ceiling, wooden floorboards, and bi-fold doors that connect the indoor space to the lawned garden and woodland. The cozy snug, equipped with a wood-burning stove, offers a perfect spot for evening relaxation, while practical features like a downstairs shower room and utility room enhance convenience for guests. A twin bedroom with an en-suite bathroom on the ground floor provides added privacy for some members of the party.

Upstairs, guests will find three additional bedrooms, including two with king-size beds and wash basins, along with a children’s twin bedroom. A spacious family bathroom features a freestanding claw-footed bath, adding a touch of luxury. Outside, a separate games room barn with table tennis ensures entertainment for all ages. The property welcomes up to three well-behaved dogs for a small additional charge, encouraging guests to bring their pets along for the adventure.

While wifi is available, mobile phone signal is limited, allowing guests to fully immerse themselves in the serene surroundings. Local attractions include the Shrine of Our Lady of Walsingham, St Mary's Priory, and the natural beauty of Holkham National Nature Reserve. Families can explore further with options like Natural Surroundings and Hampton's Home and Garden.
