The Tortoiseshell Cottage enjoys a rural and peaceful setting overlooking a small fishing lake in the village of East Ruston, near Wroxham. It is ideal for a relaxing break, a base to explore Norfolk and the broads, sandy beaches close by, visiting National Trust properties, and even a little fishing.
It is a short stroll to ‘The Butchers Arms’ the local pub which serves good food. Weavers Way (a disused railway path) can be accessed only 150 metres away. The town of Stalham is a short drive away and has all the basic amenities like newsagents, local shops, banks, chemist, takeaways, pubs, and even a Tesco with garage.
Popular villages and towns like Horning, Wroxham (for the broads and day boat hire), Cromer and Great Yarmouth, are within easy reach. Several sandy beaches like Sea Palling and Mundesley are within 4 miles and are great for the family and walks. Norwich is only a 25 minute drive away, a great place for shopping and sightseeing, with easy access including a park and ride.
The Tortoiseshell is a two bedroom cottage sleeping 4. The ground floor is open plan, a comfortable lounge, TV, video and stereo (a library of videos, CDs and books are provided), dining table, a well equipped kitchen with cooker, microwave, fridge freezer. Sliding patio doors from the lounge open onto a south facing private patio area overlooking the lake.
