Shangri-la - Self-catering house in Norfolk
Church Road, Waxham, NR12 0DY, Norfolk
England,
Regno Unito
With the track to the beach running past the garden, the position of this eco-build is idyllic. Play cricket in the garden to the soundtrack of singing birds and crashing waves… and stargaze from the deck at night.
Inside is super cosy, especially when a storm blows: this place is perfect for all-season stays. There’s a multi-speaker Sonos system, a hamper stuffed with treats and a kitchen that’s great for sociable chefs. Come in winter for empty beaches, young seals on the sands and spectacular formations of geese.
Walk along the sandy track to Waxham beach: one of Norfolk’s secrets. Take a boat trip from Horsey (gateway to the Broads) for wildlife in abundance; end the day with dinner at the Ingham Swan. The restaurant is 15th-century, the food is delicious, and the village of Ingham is a seven-minute drive.

Local points of interest from Simon Fenn:
Punti d'interesse locali da
Simon Fenn:
- Waxham beach, regarded as one of the best beaches in the UK, is metres away just over the dunes at the end of the garden. The soft sandy beach is rarely crowded. Out of season the beach is often deserted. The beach has no restrictions regarding dogs.
- Horsey seal colony, Europe's second largest, is a short walk down the beach. Seals are very common at Waxham beach and if you go kayaking or swimming in the summer, you will often find friendly seals popping up to take a look.
- The Norfolk Broads are very close: Horsey Mere offers guided boat trips between May and September. The National Trust owned reserve features a number of walks where you will be able to observe a wide variety of wildlife. Horsey wind pump is worth a visit.
- The Ingham Swan, one of Norfolk's best fine dining restaurant pubs, is less than 10 minutes away. Relax in a fifteenth century coaching inn and enjoy fresh local produce and the finest sea food, as well as a good selection of wines and beers.
- Norwich, Cathedral city and UNESCO City of Literature, is about 35 minutes drive away. Norwich has a thriving cultural scene as well as many great places to eat.
- Shangri-la neighbours Waxham Hall, a fine Elizabethan walled manorial hall. The Great Barn is the largest in the county and is open to the public. It includes a cafe and a place to hire bikes to explore the surrounding countryside.
