Estate Cottage, England

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

Tucked within its own private walled garden at the heart of Worstead Park, Estate Cottage is the kind of Norfolk hideaway that feels both special and wonderfully easy to live in. Once the gardener’s home, this handsome Georgian cottage now offers luxury self-catering for up to six guests, marrying period character with thoughtful, contemporary comforts. It’s made for families, couples travelling together, or friends who love the idea of a serene base with everything on hand—and big-sky adventures right on the doorstep.

Sleep Well

Upstairs, three restful bedrooms are arranged for flexibility and privacy: two king rooms, plus a third bedroom that can be set as twins or a super-king. With three sparkling bathrooms (including two en-suites and a family bathroom with a roll-top bath and walk-in shower), everyone can ease into the day without queues. Soft linens, leafy views, and the quiet of a private garden set the tone for long, luxurious lie-ins. 

Time Together

Back downstairs, spaces are designed for easy, unhurried living. Settle into the sitting room for films and board games by the glow of the log-burner, or spread out in the additional living area if your group likes a little room to do your own thing. The kitchen-diner (complete with range cooker, dishwasher, and all the essentials) keeps cooking relaxed and sociable—coffee at sunrise, a grazing lunch, and a slow supper after a day exploring the coast or the Broads. A utility room with washer/dryer helps longer stays run smoothly. Wi-Fi comes as standard. 

Your Private Outdoors

The cottage opens to an expansive, fully walled garden—your own green sanctuary. Start mornings with birdsong on the patio and end them under the stars in the private six-person hot tub. Fire up the gas bbq for easy feasts, then head to the separate games room for a friendly tournament on the multi-games table (pool, air hockey, and table tennis). The gravel drive accommodates up to three cars, and high hedges and brick walls create an enveloping sense of privacy. Dogs are welcome, with plenty of space to roam. 

A Parkland Playground

Step beyond your gate and Worstead Park unfolds in 300 acres of tranquil lawns, water, and woodland. Wander estate trails, watch the light move over the lake, and breathe in that deep Norfolk quiet. It’s a calming, restorative setting—yet you’re perfectly placed for day trips: boat the lock-laced Broads, stride out on sandy North Norfolk beaches, potter through market towns, and find great pubs for lunch. Back home, the hot tub waits.
