About Scotgate Cottage

Scotgate Cottage is a wonderful big holiday home in Norfolk. Spacious and welcoming, it's ideal for groups of family and friends who want to stay in comfort while enjoying a long-awaited reunion, special celebration, or relaxing retreat from the hustle and bustle of busy daily life. There's space for 23 people to sleep and dine, with Scotgate Cottage sleeping 17 people in 7 bedrooms while the Barn Annex sleeps 6. Amenities include an indoor pool and sauna, five acres of gardens and parkland, a carp lake for fishing, a tennis court, and a games room. This fantastic venue offers a variety of activities to keep you entertained, and it's only eight miles north of Thetford on the edge of Thetford Forest Park and half a mile from The Eagle pub in Great Hockham. This property is dog friendly and it is a £30 per dog fee. 

Thetford and the surrounding region are gorgeous spots for a self-catering holiday with friends in Norfolk. It has miles of cycling routes and footpaths and is blessed with a satellite of pretty villages like Hockham, where you'll find independent tea rooms, farm shops, and artisan producers crafting beautiful food and objects. You don't need to look much further, and you're in the ancient city of Norwich or sunning yourself on the sandy beaches of the spectacular Norfolk coast. Bury St Edmunds has impressive Georgian buildings and a twice-weekly market every Wednesday and Saturday. It is only 20 miles from Scotgate Cottage.

Days out can include sightseeing and punting on the River Cam in Cambridge or strolling in the Suffolk seaside town of Lowestoft. Alternatively, stay at the house and arrange for a massage and beauty therapist to treat you to a pamper party. When it's time to leave, there's no better souvenir to take home than a bottle of Scotgate rum, gin and schnapps to relive the happy memories when you get home.

Location (Norfolk)

Accommodation Comprises:

Scotgate Cottage is a rural 1950s holiday home in Norfolk with accommodation over two floors. You will have sole use of the house and grounds.

Downstairs:

  • Timber floors, muted neutral shades, and a fireplace create a welcoming haven for relaxation and socialising. Reception rooms include a sitting room with a Smart TV and a snug/reading room to read or chat peacefully.
  • A garden room offers a third reception space with doors opening onto the courtyard and lots of seating and a Smart TV with a games console.
  • The fun never stops in the games room featuring a pool table, dart board, Smart TV, and a corner bar.
  • A huge kitchen/diner is the hub of the house. The kitchen has all mod cons like a Smeg oven, island hob, and ample space to store groceries and prepare meals. Lots of plates don't mean lots of washing up with two dishwashers to take care of things.
  • An indoor pool heated to a lovely 28C all year round. Open the bifold doors onto the patio in hot weather for the ultimate holiday lifestyle. A hot tub and a sauna add to the fun. 

Upstairs:

  • The refined luxury continues upstairs in the enormous principal bedroom suite with a superking-sized bed and an ensuite shower room. There's a sofa that opens into a double bed to make this an ideal family room.
  • Bedroom 2, the Sage Room, is another lovely king/family room thanks to the addition of a sofa bed. It is at the front of the house and has an ensuite shower room.
  • Bedroom 3 is in the original 1950s part of the house. The Taupe Room offers guests a king-sized bed, built-in wardrobes, and an ensuite shower room.

  • Bedroom 5, The Bunk Room, sleeps five people - two in traditional single bunks, and three in a bunk bed with a double on the bottom and single on top. It is furnished with children in mind and has an array of favourite books for bedtime reading.
