Inside

Step into Swan Cottage and feel the stress of everyday life melt away. This beautifully converted former laundry is a sanctuary of light and calm, where every detail has been thought of from Plum & Ashby toiletries to huge fluffy towels and robes to a welcome hamper of fresh milk, handmade cookies and local juice. Every stay includes crisp linens, a welcome guide brimming with places to visit and things to do, and full access to your private hot tub – think slow mornings, starry nights, and quiet moments together.

Book time in the farm’s indoor swimming pool and sauna, or simply let each day unfold at an easy pace, adventure as much or a little as you like. With local pubs, artisanal shops, and peaceful countryside close by, this is a tranquil pocket of Norfolk made for unwinding, reconnecting with nature, and savouring timeless rural life.

Staying at
Swan Cottage

Quick guide to your location

If you choose to book your stay at Hill House Farm, you will find yourself stepping into the heart of the Brecks countryside, where rolling fields, open skies, and the gentle rhythm of rural life set the pace for your holiday. Here, peaceful days unfold naturally: morning light spilling across the meadows, birdsong drifting through the air, alongside Magic, the gentle resident donkey, and our small flock of chickens.

You will find everything you need nearby. East Harling offers a Co-op, a chemist, a butcher, and a baker for everyday essentials. For more extensive shopping, the towns of Diss, Thetford, and Attleborough host larger supermarkets, while Wymondham boasts a Waitrose. If you enjoy fresh, local produce, a visit to Wyken Vineyard near Stanton on a Saturday morning is a must: the Farmers Market overflows with bread, cheese, fish, meat, fruit, and vegetables. Wyken’s bistro and country store invite you to linger over a relaxed lunch or discover unique gifts and homeware.
For those who love to explore, endless walks and footpaths await: Knettishall Heath, Thetford Forest, and the historic Peddars Way all provide opportunities to wander, and feel fully present in this unique landscape. Birdwatchers will delight in identifying the local wildlife with the Merlin Bird ID app, turning the songs of the countryside into a living, immersive soundtrack.

When it comes to dining and discovery, you will find no shortage of options nearby. Local cafés and pubs, from The Market Place Café in Kenninghall to The Red Lion, The Angel, and the Nags Head and Swan in East Harling, offer hearty breakfasts, long lunches, and welcoming atmospheres. For evenings out, The Boars in Wymondham, The Mulberry in Thetford, and Wyken Vineyard provide refined and relaxed dining experiences. Traditional favourites, including Harling Fish and Chip Shop, Botestale Chinese takeaway, and Shapla Indian in Attleborough, are all within easy reach.

You will find the perfect balance here to savour the very best of South Norfolk, whatever the season.
