Primrose, Bluebell, Rose and Honeysuckle are all architect designed newly converted buildings that once formed part of a working farm in the very rural village of Gissing located in picturesque Norfolk.  All four cottages lie in the grounds of a recently discovered Medieval Hall House circa 14th Century. 

 

We are delighted to have qualified for a four star rating from the English Tourist Board and we are confident you will not be disappointed. 

The whole complex has been designed for families that may include a disabled member in their party. We pride ourselves on providing accessible holiday accommodation that is able to meet most individual requirements. We have level car parking adjacent to the cottages. Within the cottages themselves, you will find spacious accommodation that has been furnished and equipped to a very high standard.  The four cottages have been inspected for the National Accessible Scheme for Mobility and  two cottages have been given Mobility 3 Assisted and two have been given Mobility 2

All cottages have spectacular views over open countryside, where wildlife such as Deer, Hares, Barn Owls, Little Owls and many different species of bird can be seen.

What is there to see in Norfolk?

The immediate countryside is tangled with footpaths and bridleways, ideal for those wanting long leisurely walks. The village pub is a ten minute walk and serves lunches and evening meals. A country house hotel is a similar distance and has a bar and restaurant open to non-residents.  The market town of Diss is only four miles away.  An interesting town with many little courtyards of craft and curio shops,  Diss also offers churches, Friday market, Antique Auction rooms that attract worldwide bidders for their special interest sales, a small museum, regular farmers markets, pubs and restaurants.

Local places of interest include Norfolk Broads, Banham Zoo, Thetford Forest, Earsham Otter Trust, Bressingham Steam Museum (with Blooms Garden Centre next door), Stonham Barns craft and Birds of prey centre.  The ancient and interesting city of Norwich with its Castle is only 16 miles. Further afield is Sandringham and the rugged North Norfolk Coast.  A 35 minute drive takes you to the coast for the lively seafront at Great Yarmouth or the quieter attractions of Lowestoft or  traditional Southwold.  

Tourist Information can be found in our Games room.  Where ever you choose to spend your time on holiday, we are pleased to say that previous guests have remarked at how accessible the County is for wheelchair users.  Why not take home a jar of honey produced by our own Bees!
