8 Bedroom Cottage in Great Hockham

For a house party Jane Austen-style you can't go far wrong with Vicarage House & Pool House. Tucked in the heart of the Norfolk Brecks, this luxury eleven-bed property is very 'Pride and Prejudice', although the Bennets wouldn't have got to splash around in a heated outdoor pool.
A Georgian gem for families and groups of friends, there's also a tennis court on top of many other activities such as croquet and table tennis, plus cycling in Thetford Forest Park on the doorstep.
Vicarage House & Pool House is dog-friendly and the ultimate luxury base to comb the expansive North Norfolk beaches and nearby family attractions.
Vicarage House sleeps nine in comfort in the main house, with room for a further six in the Pool House.
A six acre slice of Norfolk envelopes this rather special holiday home with huge front lawn and magnificent landscaped gardens. The spacious interiors provide an ideal setting for families and groups of friends, whether for a special celebration or just for a wonderful holiday.
Take advantage of the fantastic facilities including a heated outdoor pool (1 April - 30 October) and private hard tennis court, as well as football, badminton, croquet and boules. A vast games room is situated in the adjacent Pool House, with a table tennis table, sofas, armchairs, a TV and DVD player and other games. Plenty to keep you on site!
The focal property is the beautiful Vicarage House. Alive with light, the house drips elegant Regency charm with classic country-style soft furnishings and antique furniture. The huge, light hall embraces you from the moment you set foot in the door. Airy rooms with high ceilings open up around you, while the classic farmhouse breakfasting kitchen gives a warm heart to the house.
Life is easy here. Celebrate together in the large dining room. Enjoy an after meal get-together in the sumptuous formal drawing room, the comfy sofas perfect for a catch up with family or old friends. Then there's the snug family sitting room for cosying up in front of the open fire and watching a classic family movie to bring everyone together. Or just curl up with a squishy cushion and a good book.
The five beautifully designed bedrooms can sleep nine guests in comfort and style. Three modern roomy bathrooms and flexible sleeping accommodation make it ideal for different combinations of guests and all have wonderful views...
And, if the weather's kind, spill out onto one of four terraces wrapped around the house. With rattan furniture and two barbecues, you can capture the sunshine any time of the day and catch a classic Norfolk sunset.
The Pool House has its own distinct character providing ground floor accommodation for six. Ideal for any less mobile members in your party. A vast living room with 20ft vaulted ceiling, chunky oak beams and high windows frame the sky and a wall of windows open west onto the swimming pool and walled garden. Three comfortable bedrooms with double or triple aspects offer flexibility, and one of the two shower rooms has direct access to post pool showers.
Nestled in six acres of beautiful gardens, each step you take outside brings new surprises. From the old roses in the front garden to the deep blue delphiniums in the topiary garden and the classic borders of the walled garden. Children will love exploring the arboretum through the enchanting wooden door and playing games on the acres of lawn. Hunt for the local wildlife - deer, pheasants, rabbits, song birds, owls and woodpeckers -and see how many animals you can spot.

Summary: This a very smart home, and designed for family fun. The swimming pool is heated to 30deg. and is a great attraction. The hardcourt tennis is full size and another bonus. The large gardens are beautiful and the walled garden doubles as a croquet lawn. There are bikes, football, table tennis and DVD player. If you are an active bunch then it’s easy to spend a week here. There is a lot to enjoy. The property is managed by Vicky and her team who are nearby and very responsive and make sure it’s pristine on arrival. It’s a family house though, and there are lots of memorabilia around which give it a homely and welcoming feel. It’s our third time of visiting and that says it all. You can’t help but thank the owner.

Summary: We had a great week at Vicarage House. Plenty of outside space, excellently kitted out inside. All bedrooms extremely comfortable. It really felt homely, not like a rental property. Real thought had been put into making the stay as comfortable and pleasant as possible. Bucket loads of wood for the fireplaces (it was a lovely sunny week, so not much need on our stay), all the bikes well serviced and working, and the fresh bread brought to us on a few days was a lovely touch. The tennis court could benefit from some investment, but we used it and all the other outside facilities often. The only problem we hit was with a planned power cut, and being locked in due to the electric gates not opening. We eventually found the override key, and put to manual, but the verbal threats from the owner about having to pay if I wrecked the new gate were a little rude, unwelcome and untimely. It didn't, however, diminish what was a wonderful and memorable week, in a great property.

Summary: We were blessed with great weather and that served to enhance our stay. As Grandparents we occupied the pool house. This meant we had a peaceful haven at night away from the main house, but could join in the fun during the day time when family gathered around the Pool. We did do two day trips away from the house during the week, but to be honest we could just as easily stayed at the location all week, there was so much to do. The children loved the play room it felt so homely. The Welcome we received from the Darby's and the wonderful staff made the stay all the better, including the welcome pack and the too many to eat apples, plucked by ourselves from the abundant crop. We may well go again in the future Thanks to all
