Swaffham House in Norfolk
Sleeps 22, Bedrooms: 10
HISTORIC AND LUXURIOUS NORFOLK TOWN HOUSE
Swaffham House, an Elizabethan town house with a fine Georgian facade, is a special place to stay. If your celebration demands an elegant backdrop for cocktails along with up to date necessities such as a Sonos sound system, this house is for you.
Step into the grand hallway where the cosy log burner in the Palladian fireplace welcomes you and the piano sits waiting to be played. In the laid-back living room, sink into huge B&B Italia sofas in front of the TV, enjoying the cosy glow of another log burner. Serve your cocktails in the formal lounge after mixing them in the kitchen, where rustic charm meets state-of-the-art appliances including a double Bertazzoni range cooker and two Fisher & Paykel fridge freezers. The blend of original features, quirky curiosities and stylish design add delight to every room.
On sunny days, spill into the walled gardens where the hot tub awaits and you can dine al fresco into the evening, when twinkling lights make a party atmosphere. For a more formal dinner party, the dining room, with its huge inglenook fireplace and grand, baronial table creates a sense of occasion.
Fill your days exploring the Brecks and the Broads, head for the coast or stay close to home in the pretty market town of Swaffham. When rest beckons, climb either the Elizabethan or the Georgian staircase to your rooms, unless, of course, you are in the ground floor garden room. The 10 peaceful king-size bedrooms are served by four luxury bathrooms or wet rooms and offer sanctuary after each day’s adventures. Just 1.5 hours by train from London to nearby Downham Market, Swaffham House wraps you in a world of its own.
Booking Tip: We offer a 2-night weekend stay at Swaffham House for £3,550.
