Come for huge skies, birds and wildlife, rare flora and fauna, precious pingo ponds and a comforting retreat from the hectic whirl

You'll feel pleased you booked this enchanting open-plan space with thick oak floors and doors, a high ceiling, books and maps, good art and a happy mingling of antiques with pretty fabrics and well thought-out lighting. Everything apart from the bathroom is in one space but there's no feeling of being hemmed in - it's light, airy and cosy all at once.

The sumptuous bed is well dressed with feather and down pillows and duvet, you can snuggle under extra wool blankets and you'll find soft dressing gowns. A tub in the room may invoke mutual bathing or send you scuttling to the separate shower room for privacy and Norfolk soap. Through sliding glass door there are two seating areas with tables and chairs, a firepit and a lawn. Watch grand sunsets from here.

Find supper or breakfast waiting, along with popcorn and crisps. On wet days you can laze by the wood-burner and watch the drama unfold outdoors while you stay dry and warm.

Katharine Wolstenholme:

You can go for long walks from The Goat Shed without getting in your car. We are surrounded by land owned by Norfolk Wildlife Trust and The Woodland Trust.
There is a good pub in the village only a mile from The Goat Shed. A lovely walk on a summer's evening.
We are within an hour of most popular tourist things to do in Norfolk, Suffolk & Cambridgeshire.
The Norfolk coast is an easy car journey from The Goat Shed.
Sit in the west facing private garden and enjoy our beautiful big Norfolk skies and stunning sunsets.
Norfolk has the largest concentration of medieval churches in the world and our church (only 5 minutes' walk) was built by our ancestors in 1349.
