Description

In a tranquil countryside setting, The Signal Box is a truly unique holiday experience. Formerly the main signal box at Wymondham station and dating back to 1900, the building was moved to its present location in 2000 and has been converted into a stunning holiday home by the current owners. The upper floor accommodation has windows on 3 sides, affording great views of the surrounding landscape, gardens and ponds, giving wonderful opportunities to spot the local wildlife whilst having breakfast. The Signal Box sits in the grounds of the owners' home with other attractive farm buildings nearby, giving a hint of the rural life of times past. Directly beside the local public footpath and with dogs accepted, walk into the countryside and leave all your cares behind for a tangible escape from reality! Shop: 2 miles Pub: 4 miles

If you want to relax and retreat from the rat race for a while, then this part of Norfolk could not be bettered. Quiet country lanes, for walking, cycling and birdwatching, cosy country pubs and great food are all to be found locally in the surrounding villages and countryside. The nearby village of Melton Constable has a well renowned butcher's shop that has award winning sausages, with over 28 flavours to choose from including Wild Boar & Juniper, Rhubarb & Sweet Chilli and Venison, Mushroom & Onion - clearly a genuine champion of Norfolk food and drink, which the region is justifiably famous for. Head north and the coastline beckons with lovely seaside villages such as Blakeney and Wells-next-the-Sea in the west and Cromer and Sheringham in the east all with their own individual character and charm. There are two impressive National Trust houses nearby, Felbrigg Hall and Blickling Hall and the elegant Georgian town of Holt with its art and antique galleries, cafe culture, great shopping, small gauge steam railway and local Country Park makes for a great day out.

Reviews

This was a fabulous place to stay in a fantastic location. It was warm, clean and cosy with great quality equipment. A comfy bed with lovely bedding, a nice big shower and good quality plates and cooking equipment. Thoughtful owners went over and above to ensure the comfort of guests, and the location was excellent for some of Norfolks best coastline, country walks, wildlife and National Trust properties. Also fabulous pubs and coffee shops a short drive away.

Mrs C,

Excellent location for sightseeing. Owners very friendly.

Mrs W,

Lovely well equipped accommodation with plenty of room for 2 adults and our 2 medium sized dogs. Owners and other permanent residents in the hamlet are.really friendly. Good location for getting out and about. Plenty of local shops and facilities. We drive an electric vehicle and there is a very good fast charger at the Running Horse, Fakenham.

Mr M,

Lovely and unique. Had a fab long weekend walking on the lovely beaches, then coming home to this joy of a holiday home.

Mr S,

Peaceful and idyllic, ideal for recharging your batteries.

Mr H,

The location was perfect for exploring both the coast & various pretty villages & towns. Peacefull rural site with plenty of walking opportunities. Accommodation very comfortable & unique property. Wifi & mobile signal good. An excellant opportunity to unwind & chill out. Thank you

Mrs W,

Brilliant place to stay, totally unique, and ideal to be used as a base or just to unwind. Plenty of animals and birds can be seen just by walking around the drives. Plenty of restaurants / pubs in local area, a post office and takeaways besides local shops. Nicely furnished - great bed and shower. We had a great time and so did our dog

Mr J,

Brilliant location for this accommodation, very quiet and peaceful. The signal box has everything that you will need and is very comfortable. We had a great week, lots to do and see in the local area, particularly if you are a national trust member. We have booked again for next year, can't wait to be back. Many thanks

Mr J,

We have just returned from a very pleasant second stay at The Signal Box. It's quiet location was perfect for our getaway & it's a very well equipped property. Even with windows on 3 sides upstairs it's cosy but gives wonderful views of the surrounding countryside. We would certainly recommend staying here & hope to return again.

Mrs N,

A perfect holiday place. The Signal Box is in a lovely peaceful location. It's a beautiful place to stay with a lot of thought gone into the character and finish. High quality equipment and everything you could need. It is really light and bright upstairs. Everything comfortable and clean. Hosts are really friendly and helpful but give space to guests making the stay a relaxing one. Would stay here again.

Miss H,

I had a really lovely stay (my second) in the Signal Box. It's a great base for touring North / North West Norfolk and is in a very tranquil location.

Mr P,

Fantastic place to stay! Friendly owners have thought of everything needed to make for a great stay. Signal Box was warm, comfy and very well equipped throughout. Hope to return…

Mrs K,

A fun quirky property in a peaceful rural location. The hosts were friendly and eager to sort things out should there be a problem. The accommodation was spotlessly clean. There’s an exterior metal staircase to the first floor entrance/ sitting kitchen area, I thought the lighting outside should have been better. There’s an internal steep staircase to the ground floor bedroom and shower room, I did find this somewhat slippery and hard to manage when carrying a case etc. My Border Terrier would not go up and down by himself but neither of us are youngsters! Personally better outside lighting and a non slip surface to the internal stairs would have made a considerable difference. For someone more agile there would not be a problem. Not a property for someone who had recently undergone hip or knee replacement surgery. Lovely local walks so take your wellies. North Norfolk is stunning with so much to see and do and the Signal Box is an ideal peaceful base to start exploring.

Mr H,

Superb property in great location.

Mrs L,

Lovely accommodation in a tranquil and peaceful setting with great walks on the doorstep and centrally located to explore the Norfolk coast.

Mrs B,

A comfortable quirky place to stay in beautiful, peaceful surroundings. Excellent location for exploring North Norfolk as well as just relaxing and staying put! The host was very welcoming and helpful.
