Acorn Cottage, Oulton, Blickling, Norfolk
Sleeps 2 (1 bedroom) + single bed downstairs, for 1 extra
What a wonderful base, an idyllic cottage and position. Loved our visits from the cows, partridges, baby rabbits and pheasant! We will definitely return. Many thanks for helping us have a wonderful break.”
Acorn Cottage is a delightful rural escape. Peacefully situated on the edge of the National Trust Blickling Hall Estate, on the outskirts of Oulton village and close to the market town of Aylsham (2 miles).
Tuck yourself away in this romantic retreat, sympathetically restored to offer you a special place to stay in Norfolk as well as being a good base to explore National Trust properties, the Norfolk Broads, countryside and coast.
A detached, single storey hidden gem, set within its own informal garden, enjoying views over a quintessential English vista of oak trees and meadows.
There are great places to eat close by and lots to discover.
What a wonderful idyllic place to while away the summer hours- we loved it so much we couldn’t help but wish we belonged here!”
