New Lane Cottage, England

New Lane Cottage Family friendly Luxury Pet/Dog Friendly Holiday Cottage in Worstead, Norfolk, England

Down a quiet, tree-lined track on the historic Worstead Estate, Dating from the early 1800s, when Worstead’s weaving community was in full flourish, this “chocolate-box” cottage holds its character close: exposed beams, gentle quirks, and a narrow, winding staircase that reminds you you’re somewhere with a story. Then it wraps that history in modern, easygoing comfort so you can simply arrive, exhale, and begin your holiday. Sleep & Space

The cottage sleeps up to four guests in two calm, cottage-cosy bedrooms beneath the thatch. The primary bedroom offers a kingsize bed; the second can be arranged as twins or a super-king to suit your group. Mornings here are slow and golden, open a window to birdsong, make a pot of tea, and plan the day’s adventures. Please note that access to the first floor is via a steep, winding staircase; it’s authentically charming but not suitable for those with mobility concerns or very young children.

Everyday Ease

On the ground floor, an entrance porch gathers wellies and windbreaks after days in the dunes. The breakfast room and kitchen invite lingering, perfect for local sourdough, farm-fresh eggs, and supper prep. A dishwasher keeps the clearing-up quick; you’ll also find Wi-Fi, a Smart tv, and board games for screen-free evenings. The living room centres on a log-burner, with a complimentary starter pack so your first night is all crackle and glow. Towels are provided, and families can request a travel cot and high chair to make packing lighter. Pets are welcome, because a Norfolk ramble is always better with four paws in tow. 

Life Outdoors

Step outside to a generous lawn bordered by hedges and trees and a furnished patio made for idle afternoons. Long lunches melt into starlit dips in your private hot tub, one of those small luxuries that makes a short break feel much longer. A gas bbq stands ready for easy feasts, and private, gravelled parking accommodates two cars right by the cottage. (Garden boundaries are natural rather than fully fenced.) 

The Setting

Part of the 2,000-acre Worstead Estate, the cottage places you within easy reach of North Norfolk’s greatest hits: salt-stitched beaches, big skies, boat trips on the Broads, antique-hunting in market towns, and miles of footpaths and quiet lanes. Yet what guests love most is the seclusion, being tucked away at the very end of a woodland track where mornings start with birdsong and evenings finish with hot-tub steam drifting into the trees. 

Little Realities (So You Can Relax)

Transparency helps holidays run smoothly. The cottage sits a short distance from the Bittern Line; daytime trains pass roughly hourly. You may also notice some low-level outdoor noise from Bartlett’s potato processing factory across the railway line. Inside, it’s tranquil and snug, and the hot tub and log-burner tend to set the tone for unwinding after a day out. Check-in is from 4:00pm; check-out by 10:00am. Book direct for best rates and preferential booking windows.
