1 Bed in Banham (oc-c1899)

Tucked away in beautiful rural South Norfolk, this bespoke shepherd’s cabin is a stone’s throw from Banham Zoo, providing the perfect escape to the countryside for families or couples. This Countryside Park is a haven for anyone keen to reconnect with the great outdoors, set in the charming village of Banham in Breckland, a beautiful area of Norfolk home to sandy heathland brimming with wildlife. Located within 50 acres of parkland is the magnificent neighbouring Banham Zoo, a must-visit, which houses an extensive collection of birds and animals and is accessible with a discount throughout your stay. Couples eager to reconnect with nature, ideally with their dog leading the way, will be keen to explore spectacular trails in the surrounding countryside, including the vast Thetford Forest (16 miles). Enjoy the area’s calm tranquillity before dropping into the market town of Diss (8 miles) in search of some local produce for a home-cooked evening meal.


Set amidst other beautiful shepherd’s cabins, this idyllic rural retreat seamlessly blends indoor and outdoor living, making the most of your peaceful surrounding scenery. A large set of French doors welcomes you into the studio-style open-plan living/kitchen/dining/sleeping space, which features all your creature comforts. The delightful, curved ceiling creates a cocooning, cosy ambience, with the soothing neutral colour palette setting the scene for pure relaxation. The plush sofa invites tired travellers to sit back and unwind at the end of a busy day’s adventure, and there’s space for your dog to curl up beside you as you settle in for the night. Rustle up a hearty breakfast or perfect picnic in the quaint kitchenette, or enjoy a glass of something sparkling seated around the contemporary country cottage-style dining set. On a fine evening, throw open the French doors to enjoy the sights and sounds of your stunning rural surroundings. Tucked away to one side of the shepherd’s cabin, you’ll find a sleeping space that’s both cosy and versatile. When travelling as a pair, the king-size bed invites you to get cosy as day turns to night. For those visiting with children, utilise the two single beds above it, and enjoy a memory-making family sleepover. Sleek and stylish, a contemporary wet room completes this homely hideaway.


Soak up some serenity by dining alfresco with your morning coffee or a sundowner on the decked terrace, a wonderfully peaceful spot from which you can enjoy the tranquillity of the great outdoors. There is designated parking behind the shepherd’s cabin.
