Hollyhocks Cottage was built in approximately 1850, as a railwayman's cottage out of red Norfolk Carrstone bricks to the front and traditional Norfolk flint to the rear. Hollyhocks Cottage provides an exceptionally comfortable stay, all year round. It is warm and cosy. The cottage has been tastefully renovated and refurbished throughout with all the comforts one would expect in the 21st century so that it is ideal for modern day living. At the same time, it has retained many original period features, such as exposed oak beams, inglenook fireplace and exposed brickwork. The open plan lounge-diner is separated by a half height partition with aspect towards the fully fitted cream shaker style kitchen units. Appliances include a washing machine, dishwasher, electric induction hob, fan assisted oven with grill, microwave & fridge with internal freezer. Upstairs, there are 2 double bedrooms one with an oak double bed and the second with 2 pine single beds, ideal for children or other guests.

We have owned Hollyhocks Cottage since 2005 and have furnished it with our hearts. We love the peace and tranquillity that a stay at the cottage brings. Since 2009 we have opened it up to our guests, many of whom return year after year. It is a really cosy home from home retreat.
