This cosy holiday retreat is set in beautiful countryside and it has been cleverly converted to offer the perfect location to relax and unwind in or explore the many attractions in the area. Adjoining the owner’s home with its fully enclosed pretty garden, it is set in the village of Cantley just 3 miles from the riverside inns in the village of Reedham, where boats can be hired and visitors can enjoy a spot of fishing, or simply watch the waterborne world go by. Cyclists and walkers will love to explore the many surrounding quiet country lanes and nearby Breydon Water is a paradise for bird watchers.

Catch the train from the nearby station or drive to the medieval city of Norwich, with its fine shopping, cathedral and castle. Golf, fishing and RSPB reserves are within easy reach. Shop 3 miles pub serving food ½ mile.

A lovely cosy cottage with everything you could possibly need.

A lovely cosy cottage with everything you could possibly need. In a very quiet, rural location with few amenities, so not suitable for those wanting shops nearby, but we loved the quiet.

A lovely peaceful cottage, very private and fully equiped, comfortable seating in the lounge.

A lovely peaceful cottage, very private and fully equiped, comfortable seating in the lounge. We would think not suitable for a disabled person as the stairs are very steep. We was made very welcome by the owners they were also kind enough to leave a welcome pack and biscuits for our dog. A nice large garden and seating area. Anyone booking this cottage would not be disappointed. Excellent information on places to visit in the folders and leaflets that are in the cottage for you to read.

I went for some peace and quiet, so The Stables was perfect for me.

I went for some peace and quiet, so The Stables was perfect for me. There is a co-op 4 miles down the road and Gt Yarmouth, for bigger shops is only a short drive. The walking and cycling is excellent there - I know the area as used to live 2 miles from the cottage in the 1990s. My hosts couldn’t have been better. They were wonderful. Welcoming and very friendly. They gifted me a dozen eggs, mid week. The welcome pack of tea, coffee, sugar, milk, fresh eggs and a bottle of wine was most appreciated. I had a lovely time and would definitely book here again.

Apart from the steep staircase, where care is necessary, we would recommend the Old Stables.
