About the property
Romulus is one of a pair of converted cottages in the old Smithy at Manor Farm, with stunning views across open fields, countryside, the village church, with occasional chickens wandering by.

Inside the rooms are all on one floor. There’s a large open plan living space, a double bedroom and an en-suite bath/shower room. Outside there’s a large patio area with garden furniture and uninterrupted views across open countryside. There are footpaths close by for you to explore and a pub with real ales within a 10 minute walk.
Open living/dining/kitchen room: This large room has living area with a two seater sofa and a wicker chair with cushions, TV with DVD player, a wooden dining table and chairs and a kitchen with built-in appliances including an electric hob and oven, dishwasher, and microwave. There are two double patio doors with super views across open fields and woods.

All the rooms have tiled floors and underfloor heating.
Outside there is a large patio with a table and chairs for dining on warm days and off road parking. The patio is screened from the neighbouring holiday cottage, with both cottages sharing a large lawned area beyond. Please note that traffic noise can sometimes be heard from the A11, depending on the wind direction.
On our visit we saw occasional guinea fowl, chickens and ducks grazing on the lawn. The farmer explained that a chicken often visits his house to lay an egg in his armchair – what a good home delivery service!
About the area
Romulus is one of a pair of Norfolk self-catering cottages at Manor Farm in Larling. Click here to see details of the second property, which sleeps four people.

The farm is close to the A11 and convenient for trips into both Norfolk and Suffolk.
There are many local attractions in the area, including Thetford Forest which is ideal for walking and cycling (if you’re feeling more adventurous try the ‘Go Ape’ high wire experience at High Lodge where you’ll be fitted with a harness before tackling rope bridges, and zip slides high above the forest floor!).
