The details

Rural Retreat by the River is a modern luxury house on the banks of the River Wensum that sleeps eight guests, or twelve in total if you book the guest house too.

It's a fantastic destination for nature lovers looking to unplug and get away from it all. The property's furnished deck allows you to really lose yourself in the gorgeous river environment that surrounds the house. The garden makes for a fantastic spot to take in the fresh Norfolk air, with a trampoline and barbecue available.

The property's location beside the River Wensum makes it ideal for parties who love river sports and wild swimming. And, if you're a fan of stargazing, you may want to consider renting the hot tub for a luxuriant night time dip - and it's available during the daytime too of course!

With four king bedrooms, this property is perfectly equipped to comfortably accommodate larger parties in style. To complement the bedrooms are four spacious bathrooms, each of which has been kitted out with high-spec modern fittings including rainfall showers and freestanding bathtubs.

At the heart of the main house is the spacious and fully-equipped open plan kitchen and dining space, with dual aspect bifold doors opening wide to let the glorious wildflower gardens in. The lounge is decked out with deep, comfortable sofas and armchairs, so you'll all have room to spread out, plus there's a wood burning stove to keep you snug on chilly evenings.

The smart barn-style guest house, located within the shared grounds, sleeps an additional four guests in two double rooms. It can be rented together with the main house and is perfect for anyone seeking a little extra space and privacy.

Rural Retreat by the River is just a short drive away from charming Ringland, one of Norfolk's loveliest hamlets. Slightly further afield is historic Norwich with its incredible cathedral and historic castle, a fantastic place for a day trip. Or, if you'd like to explore some of the UK's most beautiful landscapes, you'll find the iconic Norfolk Broads just over 20 minutes away by car.

This property is just incredible! Even better than the photos, everything is top quality and designed to perfection. Upon arrival we spotted deer, swans and all different kinds of wildlife. Sam & Lucy have thought of everything you’d need, from pizza slices & corn on the cob sticks, to vases and shot glasses. The property is also very spacious and has plenty of storage and facilities. Everything was immaculate and we had the most amazing weekend. The owners were on hand for any questions we had and they made everything so straight forward and easy. We will definitely be back in the future!
