Enjoy a warm welcome to our cosy, sympathetically refurbished period cottage, within the very popular & picturesque village of Castle Acre. Bailiff’s Cottage Circa 1600 was built for the Bailiff of the Castle & bought by Sir Edward Coke, Lord Chief Justice of England, Earl of Leister in 1615, along with associated houses, Castle & The Priory. The space Baliffs cottage, is a truly charming & unique cottage with many original features. Entered by the front door straight into a lovely inviting large open sitting room with a fabulous inglenook fireplace and many lovely original oak ceiling beams with Norfolk pammets & brick floor. The Kitchen is a modern extension, a large impressive room with a fabulous lantern sky light and a sleek brand new fitted kitchen with a fantastic breakfast bar and a dining table for four. There are French doors leading out into a very private, fullly fenced garden, so your four legged friend will be secure here! Upstairs is reached by an impressive Cast Iron spiral staircase, the wooden floor boards give the upstairs character & charm that you would expect to see in a little period cottage. There are two double bedrooms, one has a kingsize bed & features a pretty clawfoot bath, the other has a double bed with an internal Juliet Balcony overlooking the front garden. On the landing there is a bathroom with a large shower. The village of Castle Acre is a real gem! It has so much appeal for visitors, a real must to visit is the spectacular English Heritage Ruined Priory, a Ruin Castle & an impressive large Church. There are numerous walks around the village including a very pretty walk along a meandering rare chalk stream, which runs alongside the priory, it really is a tranquil & beautiful walk. The water is crystal clear and inviting and often in summer children & dogs can be seen enjoying a paddle in the very chilly water! Castle Acre is also on the well known Peddars Way route, attracting many keen walkers. The village also boasts a very well stocked convenience store (and more!) a fabulous Fish & Chip shop, a historical public house and a quaint café all just a stones throw away from the Cottage! A second lovely old Public house called The George & Dragon, offering great food, is only an 8-10 mins walk away! (Recommended!). We have 4 bikes (various styles) which you are very welcome to take out. Please note we do not have protection helmets so please bring your own if you intend using them. *IMPORTANT* Please note the owners except no responsibility should any accidents happen whilst using one of the bikes left on site! We can recommend many other great places to visit in the area, please just ask!! Guest access The whole house & garden is for your private use & there is parking for one car on the driveway, it is easy to find further parking outside the property on the side of the street. Other things to note We are very happy to welcome your well behaved furry friends, we just need a few details about them. We have a policy of no dogs on furniture or upstairs, the spiral staircase is not suitable for four legs so for their own safety we would prefer them to remain safely downstairs on their own bed. Dogs are not be left unattended at any time!
