A holiday at Blickling Tower really is something special. Formerly the Earl of Buckinghamshire’s race stand, this luxurious self-catering accommodation now boasts a roof terrace and your very own Rapunzel tower. When you and your prince charming have finished surveying the grounds there are walking and cycling trails to explore and local ales to be sampled in the nearby Buckinghamshire Arms.
This unique 17th-century cottage sits deep within the Blickling estate. It will come as no surprise that this was once the great house’s dairy, lots of the original features still remain. There’s a secluded garden for al fresco eating, and for cyclists there’s lockable bike storage and enough trails to keep even the most energetic amongst you entertained.
This interesting getaway has retained all the markings of a traditional Norfolk cottage, although the facilities have been given a bit of a makeover.

The area is rich in wildlife and popular with birdwatchers, while the beaches of West Runton and Cromer are close by.
