About this house rental

With just a 30 minute drive to the North Norfolk Coast and situated next to the historic Bailey Gate in the heart of the beautiful village of Castle Acre, overlooking the village Green is Peddars Cottage. Spacious, well presented and well equipped, with the famous Peddars Way and Nar Valley walks on your doorstep. There is a dog friendly tea room within the village green serving delicious, carefully sourced food and drinks; a perfect way to start or end your day exploring the historical wonders Castle Acre has to offer, including it's English Heritage Priory and castle ruins, built soon after the Norman Conquest. The village store is a short walk away serving all your needs including a post office with the village fish and chip shop next door. Recently re-opened and under new management is our village green local pub; The Ostrich, serving good hearty food (including Sunday Roast). The beer garden is a jewel in its' crown. With your preferred tipple, sit and listen to the birdsong and babble of content conversation.

Fabulous location.
Fabulous location.
We were between properties, having vacated our old house in Bucks on 10th and unable to complete in Norfolk until 21st. Peddars Cottage filled that gap with a home from home experience. Great location, spotless cottage with every facility we could wish for. Great comms from host. One word of warning, the local pub, The Ostrich. Massively overrated and over priced. The George and Dragon down the road was better value, better quality fayre and very friendly.

We stayed at Peddars Cottage for a long weekend. The house is perfect for a family. The rooms are bright, spacious, airy and the decor is modern and tasteful. The owners provide some added extras which really make the difference to your stay here. Things like soap already in each room with a sink, kitchen towel, dishwasher tablets, cleaning products and the extra special touch of goodies for your four legged friend joining the trip. The house has room for 6 but there were only 4 of us (humans!). Usually you have just enough cutlery and crockery but this is not the case at Peddars Cottage, more than enough! Debbie was excellent at keeping in touch and even messaged us before we travelled to let us know the local pub was dog friendly and had a Greek BBQ night on while we were there (it was lovely!). The check in and out were great, really easy and convenient. An emergency contact given for while we stayed and a useful manual in the house. The house has a small court yard outside which is tastefully decorated with plenty of seating options, plants and lighting. A lovely little area to soak up the sun in while reading a book (which I did!). Can't recommend the place highly enough. So many things to do on the doorstep - walks, paddles in the Ford, local history with the Castle and Priory, nice pub, chippy and spar shop close by. The village is beautiful and peaceful. There is also a children's play area up the road too. We would love to return again soon and may even bring more family with is this time. If you are considering Peddars Cottage I would say book it, you won't regret it.
