Norfolk Cottages Norfolk Cottages is set in the heart of rural East Anglia on the Norfolk/Suffolk border. Originally a small working farm that has now been turned into an award winning 4 star luxury self catering holiday complex of four cottages. The buildings have been tastefully restored and furnished with many facilities for our less able guests whilst still retaining many of the original features and a comfortable feel. Our private leisure complex has a warmer than average indoor pool, hot spa and sauna, whilst the games area offers a table tennis table, a football table, darts and quiet games area. There is an overhead hoist giving access to both the pool and spa for our less able guests enabling you to join in with your friends and family. All of this is set around a small garden courtyard with raised beds, giving level access from the moment you leave your vehicle. All of our cottages offer wet rooms and bedrooms on the ground floor, with two of them offering further bedroom space on the first floor. The wet rooms have wheel in shower areas, toilets with transfer space, basins and in some cottages baths as well. Two of our cottages offer low level fitted kitchens with space under sinks for wheelchair users. We have many aids available some for hire and others free of charge, all are subject to availability so please check when booking. A full list is detailed further on. There is plenty to do in the area, the small market town of Diss is within 5 miles, whilst the east coast is approximately 36 miles away and the North Norfolk coast is within 60 miles.
