Conservatory
This generous and light-filled room has a sofa, coffee table, table and chairs. The conservatory is fully fitted with blinds to ensure privacy. French doors open out onto the spacious lawn of the private garden - a lovely place to sit and enjoy the sunlight and peace.
Parking
Off-road parking is on the shared driveway from which guests can access their private garden through the picket gate. There is a path leading to the conservatory access door.

Outside
There is seating on the lawn to enjoy the views across the fields and the peace and quiet on a sunny day (south-facing) plus an additional secluded seating area next to the conservatory. The fencing between the drive and the garden is 5ft reed panels and this extends to the back of the house giving you a good level of privacy from the owners' section of the house. The wall along the front, with the metal gate in, is approximately 3ft high.

The fields opposite are wonderful to watch the sun and the running hares and deer that occasionally cross the fields.

    Brilliant place to stay we had the best breakaway & Kerry & Kevin are the perfect hosts 5* . Nothing too much trouble and although they live onsite they never intruded on our stay. It was an amazing place exactly what we needed to de-stess and just chill. Beautiful views across the countryside . Brilliant walks , although very much in the countryside , tesco’s and shops less than 10 mins away . Our little dog loved the fully enclosed garden and there was everything we needed in the cottage . We can’t wait to return . Thank you both for making our stay so perfect xx

    My husband and I stayed at Badgers Retreat with our three dogs. Accommodation was very comfortable, loved the fire burner for the cold nights and the garden was enclosed which we needed for our dogs. The beaches are beautiful and close to the accommodation so it was ideal for our dog walks

    We had a very restful stay at Badger's Retreat. Friendly and attentive hosts, generous welcome pack, and the property was warm and comfortable. Garden perfect for small dogs, and loads of really super walks from the door.

    We had a delightful long weekend at Badger's Retreat. We had rain and sun in equal measure but were able to enjoy the peace and quiet of the garden and surrounding area. The road going past it has about one car a day. The Weavers Way is 5 minutes walk away and the beautiful beaches a short drive away. We walked to the Swan in Stalham which was very good and also went to Smallsticks and Poppylands cafes which were excellent. When it rained it was cosy to sit and read in the conservatory. The cottage is very comfortable and well equipped. The fully enclosed garden was enjoyed by my spaniel too. We loved it and cant wait to return. Ginny and Willow

    The, comparatively new owners, Kerry and Kevin, were very welcoming and helpful when we arrived. The welcoming pack was much appreciated. Not just for humans but treats for the dog. This is the place if you want peace and quite. The beautiful garden was the place to sit, especially in the afternoon and evening, watching across the fields to see buzzards, swallows and occasional deer. We have never seen so many butterflies and small 'bumble bees'. I think they were called Miner Bees. It felt that we were miles from anywhere but in fact we were a short drive to shops, beaches etc. Our 12 yr old retired Guide Dog was very much at home and enjoyed the local walks.

    Great cosy cottage, just the right size for two. Very comfortable and compact, well equipped and a lovely secure garden for our dogs. Within easy reach of the beaches and woods and Weavers Way almost on the doorstep so plenty of choice for walks. Best of all no fireworks nearby to upset our older dog so we all had relaxed evenings throughout the week. Hosts Terri and Richard were most welcoming and the thoughtful welcome pack was much appreciated.

    A lovely relaxing week. Property had every thing needed for a stay away. Lovely garden for the hound. Great walks near by in the woods and local beaches. Hound glad to be home for a rest. Well met by the hosts who kindly presented us a balloon and bottle of champers to celebrate or birth adversary and a great welcome pack for humans and the hound. Tesco and chippy a short drive away. Highly recomend. - _

    We had a wonderful time at Badgers retreat. The hosts Terrie and Richard were lovely, friendly and and very welcoming . Thank you for the very generous welcome pack, a big thank you from Willow and Jinger for all the doggie treats. The cottage is very pretty and comfortable with a beautiful garden which our dogs and ourselves really enjoyed relaxing in. There are great dog walks right from the front door. The location is brilliant for days out, exploring the local area or relaxing in the garden. We had a fabulous stay and were sad to leave. Will look forward to going back.
