Crafter's Retreat cabin

About the property

Tucked away among the trees in the charming Norfolk village of Upwell, Crafter’s Retreat is a magical woodland cabin that offers the perfect escape for couples. Set within its own quarter-acre plot, this romantic hideaway combines the rustic charm of a forest retreat with all the comforts of home.

Step outside your cabin to discover an enchanting outdoor space that includes a Victorian knot garden and private woodlet. As evening falls, gather around the fire pit under starlit skies, or sink into your private hot tub for the ultimate relaxation experience. The garden provides a tranquil spot for morning coffee or alfresco dining, with nature as your backdrop.

Inside, the open-plan living space creates a cosy atmosphere perfect for two. The fully-fitted kitchen comes equipped with everything needed for romantic meals, including an oven, hob, and under-counter fridge freezer. After dinner, curl up in the living area where a Smart TV provides entertainment on quieter evenings.

The bedroom promises peaceful nights with its comfortable king-size bed, while the modern shower room ensures you start each day refreshed and ready for adventure.
