About the home

Pinewood Cottage is a one-bedroom barn conversion which sleeps two (+2 inc sofa bed), adjoining Thorpegate Cottage. Recently renovated and decorated to a high standard, it provides modern coordinated accommodation within a traditional setting. All rooms have beamed and vaulted ceilings and the living area has wood flooring with rugs. The shower room is ¾ tiled, with a modern suite, ceramic tiled floor, electric power shower and shaver point.

Once forming part of the historic Gunton Hall Estate, the grounds of Nursery Farm include eight acres of woodland that visitors are free to explore. The owners live in the grade two listed brick and flint thatched farmhouse close to the holiday cottages.

This delightful corner of rural Norfolk is only five miles from the traditional seaside town of Cromer, famous for its delicious crabs and the end of the pier shows. Also within easy reach are the Norfolk Broads, the fascinating network of waterways where day boats are available for hire.
