The Old Cart Lodge, Rockland-St-Mary, Norfolk

The Old Cart Lodge is a light, bright barn conversion in Rockland-St-Mary, Norfolk. This award-winning holiday home sits on the edge of The Broads National Park. Bursting with character - vaulted ceilings, exposed beams and brickwork make this place special. The subtle seaside theme and delicate tones create a stylish retreat that's won awards for being the most dog-friendly cottage in the UK.

The attractive River Yare flows through the village, offering picturesque walking routes without needing to jump in the car. The location is perfect for exploring Norfolk's highlights. Great Yarmouth is just 25 miles away with its arcades and attractions. Norwich is close too - catch the bus right outside your door for a day of shopping at the open-air markets. Perfect for both countryside and city lovers who want the best of both worlds.

The accommodation features two beautiful bedrooms - one king-size with en-suite shower room and TV, plus a super king-size zip-and-link that can be made into twins. Both rooms have their own TVs because nobody wants to argue about what to watch after a long day exploring. There's also a family bathroom with bath and hand-held shower.

Visit Whitlingham Country Park (great café too!), explore the countless dog-friendly beaches within 30-45 minutes' drive, or simply relax in your fully enclosed courtyard garden. The bubbling hot tub is perfect for evening soaks under the fairy lights - worth every penny of the additional £50 fee. Trust me, nothing beats a glass of wine while your bits get massaged by hot water jets.

The Old Cart Lodge offers luxury without pretension. Couples, families and dogs all love it here. With underfloor heating, a De'Longhi coffee machine and a homemade lemon drizzle cake waiting for you - it's the perfect Norfolk escape.
