Overview
Property code: OC-T28993

A blissful break away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life in the small village of Crimplesham, just 2 miles from Downham Market. There’s so much to see and do when staying in this beautiful part of Norfolk. If you're looking for a day out, the historic town of King’s Lynn is 11 miles away, where you can explore the town’s spectacular architecture and find numerous places to eat. For guests who love wildlife, Welney Wetland Centre is 11 miles away, or visit the Watatunga Wildlife Reserve (6 miles) and experience a Norfolk safari where animals roam free among 170 acres of countryside. If it’s a bit of culture and history you’re after, there are a variety of National Trust places nearby including Oxburgh Hall (7 miles) featuring a medieval manor house and Victorian garden, or the much-loved country retreat of the royal family, Sandringham (17 miles).

This charming retreat in the picturesque Norfolk countryside provides a great getaway for couples. The hall was commissioned and designed by world-renowned architect Alfred Waterhouse and dates back to 1881. Once inside this ground-floor apartment, you’ll feel instantly at home. The furnishings have been carefully selected to stay in keeping with the timeless elegance of the prestigious hall. The kitchen provides all the necessary mod-cons, so you can prepare home-cooked meals to be enjoyed at the dining table. With wonderfully high ceilings and large windows, the lounge is flooded with natural light providing the ideal space to relax and unwind. There is a wide passageway with a writing desk for anyone wishing to catch up on emails. But the star of the show is in the bedroom; the majestic, 4-poster, emperor bed will swallow you up and you won’t want to leave! The bathroom completes the apartment.

Guests can explore the 5 acres of beautiful grounds in which the hall sits. Enjoy peaceful woodland walks and take in the magnificent views of the lake. There is a patio area with garden furniture (shared with other properties on site) and large lawned gardens. Also within the grounds are the ruins of a Victorian folly where you can still see the former chapel room and bell tower.

Nicky was very welcoming, the rooms are very spacious and all kitchen equipment was clean. Dish washer would have been more useful then the washing machine. The WiFi was poor therefore on the smart Tele could only receive channels 1 2 3 4. The bed was so big and comfy, the lounge was huge yet very comfortable on recliner sofa.

A fantastic place to stay, with all the home comforts. The grounds, with its lake and folly, were ideal to sit and chill on an evening following a day's exploring. Nikki looked after us very well and nothing was too much trouble.

The owner was very helpful and welcoming, the rooms were in need of a refresh with paper coming off the walls of the living room, shame really as the rooms would be impressive with a bit of T.L.C.

The apartment was lovely and spacious, it had everything we needed and more. A little bit worn in places, although the furniture and fittings were lovely. The internet was not great and of course it did effect the television too but not so much a problem as we were out all day and had a good book for the evening. A good idea to leave several books Read moreto read about and some information about the area, maybe a plan of the grounds would be a good idea too. Hide

We (and our dog) had a wonderful stay at the Lake House in Crimplesham Hall. Clean, very spacious and well-equipped cottage with the biggest bed ever! The grounds to the hall are very extensive and great for the dog.
