  • Static caravan on a 100-acre farm overlooking the Haddiscoe Marshes
  • Lowestoft and Great Yarmouth within a 20-minute drive
  • Fresh farm produce for sale; blacksmith taster days and courses
Meander through marshes and saunter alongside the sea from Thorpe Hall Manor, a quiet and well-kept farm site in the hamlet of Thorpe-next-Haddiscoe. With 100 acres of farmland, a nature pond and fab marshy views to keep you occupied, this will be a tempting hideaway for those looking to unplug in a countrified, nature-packed place near the coast. Thorpe Hall Manor may be located in deepest East Anglia, but rare breed animals that hail from other parts of the British Isles call this place home too – the likes of Hebridean sheep and Golden Guernsey goats. The farm also keeps chickens, pigs, turkeys and cattle, meaning lots of fab, farm-fresh produce is on hand. As well as its ultra-local food, Thorpe Hall Manor manages its land in a less intensive way, allowing wildlife to thrive in its many quieter corners. If you're keen to brush up on your countryside skills, take a look at the blacksmiths' forge on site – here guests can sign up for taster days and courses. If you're after something more delicate, the site also runs jewellery courses in which you can make your own rings, earrings and the like (please book ahead for courses). The accommodation here is spacious and bright, and comes with a kitchen space, living area and comfy double bedroom. Inside, there's a separate (and very clean) composting loo, with shared flush toilets and hot showers a short walk away. All this is a few steps from a Saxon church, a 16th-century country house, the edge of the Haddiscoe Marshes and a nifty cut-through to Haddiscoe station. The nearest pub, where tasty meals are served, is about a 15-minute stroll away.

Liked: Yet another really enjoyable stay at this site. Everything was clean, the owner was really friendly and helpful, it was just a great stay and I will definitely be back again in the future. Not rated child-friendliness as I don't have children and not rated wi-fi as I didn't use it.

Disliked: Nothing.

Local attractions

Being towards the southern end of the Broads, there are bucketloads of pleasant rural waterways to cycle along, canoe down and watch wildlife by. Start off by calling in at St Olaves (five minutes' drive), a secluded spot on the Waveney river whose perpetual popularity can be explained by its well-preserved priory, Victorian suspension bridge and boat hire options. Like Haddiscoe, St Olaves has a station on the spectacular Wherry Line – from here, you can glide along to Lowestoft (20 minutes), a splendid seaside spot over the border in Suffolk, or chug on down to Berney Arms (30 minutes), a gorgeously remote request stop on the edge of a nature-rich RSPB reserve. Besides boating and birdwatching, Thorpe Hall Manor is well-located for family-friendly field trips to Great Yarmouth's Sea Life Centre (20 minutes), Pleasurewood Hills theme park (20 minutes) and brilliant Burgh Castle (20 minutes). Norwich's variety of kid-pleasing activities are close by too, with a bowling alley, castle and cinema all on the menu.
