About this property

Blyth Green Stable - rural Norfolk yet only 10 miles from Norwich

Blyth Green Stable is a brand new holiday cottage in the site of the old stable. With high vaulted ceiling, a well equipped kitchen, dining area, a log burner for winter nights and two big bedrooms, the space is deceptively big and is ideal for families or groups of friends looking to spend time in South Norfolk. There is a private patio area, parking for 2 cars and the ability to use the garden on request.
The hot water is solar powered and the building is very well insulated so in summer the house is eco- friendly.
There is full wi-fi and the building is protected by intruder, carbon monoxide, heat and smoke alarms.
The cottage sits on an ancient drovers' road, now a footpath, and access to walks though open fields or cycling routes along country lanes is right on our doorstep. The large village of Long Stratton is half a mile down the hill where there is a selection of restaurants, other food outlets, a pub, a Co-op supermarket, an award winning vegan cafe and many other amenities. Norwich and Diss are both 10 miles away along the A140.

Bedroom one has a chest of drawers, space for hanging clothes, two bed side tables and lights and a full length mirror. The bed configures either as two standard singles or a super king double.

Bedroom two is a little smaller with hanging space and two bedside tables and lights. The bedside tables have small drawers for personal items and there is one big drawer available under the bed. The bed configures either as two small singles or a king sized double.

Fantastic Accommodation.
Blythe Green Barn exceeded my expectations. The decor is tasteful, well maintained and is very well equipped. I am a wheelchair user and although it is not specifically wheelchair adapted it worked really well for my needs. Huw was friendly and extremely helpful making the booking procedure and stay an all round excellent experience. I would certainly look to come back and highly recommended it!

Lovely home from home.
Blyth Green Stable was a lovely change from the 4 walls we've been living in for the last 18 months. Everything was perfect however I do have a few ideas that might make it a little bit more family-friendly. Cupboard and drawer locks in kitchen would be amazing, everyone knows how to use them so I doubt they'd be an inconvenience if you weren't staying with children. Some information regarding the local area wouldn't go amiss either, it's fine as we're capable internet users but if you weren't then finding recommend things to do would be difficult. Takeaway menus and taxi numbers etc would be great too. One more thing that would be amazing is a hot tub on the patio area. It's an investment but I do think it's the perfect place for one as there's not much else to do in the immediate area. Other than those pointers the house was gorgeous, very well maintained and the owner was fabulous - we even got fresh eggs! Thank you for being our home away from home during a very desperate time. Amy and family :) .

Home sweet holiday home
We recently stayed at the Stable with our 15 month old daughter and it was the perfect for our long weekend in Norfolk. The house was not only clean, well equipped but a home away from home for a family holiday. We had the use of a high chair and cot which was great when travelling with a baby, one less thing to pack! We didn't get to use the private garden with BBQ but it was lovely to have the use of outside space if we needed it. Huw was a great host and provided us with all the information we needed prior to our arrival and was more than accommodating if we needed help with anything during our stay. We'll definitely be returning as we loved our stay at the Stable and still have lots of places on our list to visit!

About the host

Hosted by Huw James

Host profile image
After moving into the main house in 2014, I pulled down and rebuilt the cottage on the site of the old stable (thus Blyth Green Stable). I relocated here from London without a job at fist so I was able to do a lot of the work myself - a great learning experience for me. I am now back working as a primary school teacher.

Why they chose this property

My family and I love living in this location. We are surrounded by trees, fields and the rural idyll yet we have a big village 15 minutes away on foot and a major UK city only 10 milers away. We have the best of everything.
