Is Crafter's Retreat Right For You?

Discover why this cottage is ideal for different types of visitors

For Families
Crafter's Retreat is designed primarily as an adult retreat. The single bedroom with king-size bed makes it unsuitable for families with children. While a travel cot and highchair are available, the cabin's romantic atmosphere, hot tub focus and creative activities are geared toward adult guests. The small space would be limiting for active kids.
For Couples
Crafter's Retreat offers couples total privacy in a woodland setting. The king-size bed faces garden views, while the private hot tub awaits on the covered decking. Share romantic evenings by the fire pit under the stars. Try pottery classes together or simply relax in the peaceful garden. The one-level layout means everything's conveniently accessible.
Pet Friendly
Crafter's Retreat does not accept dogs or any pets. The property maintains a strict no-pets policy to preserve the clean, allergen-free environment and protect the gardens. Pet owners should look for alternative accommodation in the Norfolk area that specifically welcomes four-legged guests.
