Hemblington Hall is a big house just outside Norwich. It's old, from about 1690, and it's Grade II listed. We've split it into two separate holiday homes, so you rent one side. You share the main garden and the swimming pool with the other side. The pool is heated.
It sleeps eight, but in three bedrooms. Two are normal doubles, and then there's a huge attic room with four single beds. There are two bathrooms, one on the first floor and a shower room up in the attic.
Inside, the ceilings are high and the staircase is the big, sweeping kind you get in these places. It's been done up nicely but it's still an old house. The living room has a wood burner.
You're in the countryside here, so it's quiet. The views are over fields. The village of Hemblington is close and has a shop and a very good Indian takeaway. There are a few nice pubs a short drive away for food.
Location-wise, you're about in the middle of things. It's 15 minutes to the Norfolk Broads if you want to hire a boat or go for a walk. RSPB Strumpshaw Fen is nearby for birds. The coast is about 12 miles. Good beaches that way are Sea Palling or Winterton. You can sometimes see seals at Horsey in the winter.
Norwich city centre is 20 minutes away. It's got the castle, the cathedral, shops, all that.
For facilities, you've got the pool, the shared garden, parking, WiFi, a washing machine, and a dishwasher. A cot and highchair are there if you need them. Bedding and towels are included. No pets, sorry.
