The Gardener's Cottage offers chic, contemporary and absolutely gorgeous accommodation for four on the Earsham Hall country estate on the Norfolk/Suffolk border. With its stunning, open-plan living space, plush bedrooms and deluxe bathrooms, this splendid retreat, only half an hour from Suffolk's Heritage Coast in the heart of the East Anglian countryside, is a gem.

The Gardener's Cottage is within the grounds of the fabulous Earsham Hall estate. Earsham Hall is one of the finest country mansion houses in Norfolk, and has a rich and varied history dating back in part to the 15th Century. Within the grounds of the hall, only 30 seconds walk from The Gardener's Cottage is Earsham Hall Tearooms - breakfast and afternoon tea on your doorstep! - as well as Earsham Home Furnishings and a garden centre in the summer months. The village of Earsham itself is a twenty five minute walk, and has a pub, The Earsham Queen. Earsham Street in Bungay is walkable for shops and would take about 45 minutes from the cottage, or only eight minutes to drive. If wine is your thing, the renowned Flint Vineyard, Earsham is on your doorstep, and Chet Vineyard, Bergh Apton is only a short drive away. Both offer vineyard tours and tastings. In nearby village, Kirby Cane, is the fantastic Italian bar and restaurant, The Olive Tree.

In both Beccles and Bungay, you'll find quirky independent shops, cafes, restaurants and delis as well as a host of community events, festivals and entertainment held throughout the year. There are also great paddle board and canoe hiring facilities straight onto the River Waveney at either Three Rivers, Geldeston or Outney Meadow, Bungay. Locally to The Gardener's Cottage you will find Fen Dairy, where you can fill your milk bottle from the UK’s first raw milk vending machine and see the cheese and butter making rooms.
