Norfolk Horn

An exquisite retreat for couples seeking a truly special, romantic getaway, this delightful shepherd’s hut takes glamping to a whole new level. Sleeping two guests, the one-bedroom escape nestles in glorious, rural surroundings, 2.5 miles from Beccles and 1 mile from the fringes of the Suffolk Broads.

Venture into Beccles to hire a self-driving day cruiser on the River Waveney, where you might spot kingfishers and otters along the riverbank. Head 10.5 miles to the sand and pebble beach at Pakefield, where you can paddle, swim and walk out along the Suffolk Coast Path.

Drive 12 miles to picturesque Covehithe Beach, where you can see a tiny church built within the ruins of a larger one. Or stroll around the 12 acres of gardens at the Victorian stately home, Somerleyton Hall (13 miles).

Take three wooden steps up to enter your bijou abode. This cleverly designed bolthole centres on an open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner and bedroom area, which has been creatively fitted out with everything you and your loved one are likely to need.

Prepare light meals and snacks in the kitchen area, which has lovely wooden work surfaces. Pull a bottle of wine that you have set to chill from the fridge, then dine together at the foldaway table inside or carry your plates out into the sunshine.

When you are ready to lay your head on the soft pillows, amble over to the comfortable double bed, which boasts luxury bedding, to indulge in a perfect night’s sleep. Awake the next morning to delightful countryside views and a steaming hot shower in the shower room.

This charming shepherd’s hut has its own outside seating space where you can enjoy coffee in the morning and a sundowner in the evening. Sizzle your Suffolk-sourced supper on the BBQ on balmy evenings, then toast beside the fire pit as the stars appear above you.
