Bagthorpe Treehouse – Burnham Market, Norfolk

  • Treehouse for 4

1 king-size four poster, 2 single bunks


A luxurious, cosy treehouse perched in the grounds of a country house B&B near the Norfolk coast

Gina & Tid loved safaris in Africa, and were captivated by the idea of staying outdoors, in comfort, but in the midst of nature... The tranquillity and beauty of their estate near Burnham Market in Norfolk made it ideally suited to the creation of Bagthorpe Treehouse. It's just a short stroll through the grounds of Bagthorpe Hall, Gina & Tid's country house B&B, and the spot has been carefully chosen, under a Holm oak in a small copse. With a king-size four-poster and a huge copper bathtub, it makes a luxurious romantic retreat for two - but the two single bunks mean children (over 8 only) can enjoy it too. The style is both swish and relaxed, with a verandah outside for surveying the wildlife. The treehouse is extremely well built and insulated, meaning it's warm all year round. 

Gina will be happy to show you walks in the surrounding parkland with its many ancient trees. In spring she’ll show off the snowdrops; in May, bluebells. In the local area, spot seals on the coast, visit the gardens at Sandringham or Houghton Hall, watch the fishing boats land at quaint Wells-next-the-sea or just enjoy the peace and quiet of your ‘Norfolk safari’!

Bagthorpe Treehouse was made by Bower House

Our guests say...

"We really enjoyed the two night stay everything was incredibly good. The area was lovely near the coast and near to some wonderful restaurants. It was very peaceful and it was a very comfortable tree house (we felt like hobbits at bag end)"

Anne, 04/06/2013

"The treehouse was finished to a very high standard, had everything we needed and was just a delight to stay in."

Emma, 21/04/2013

"Simply fantastic in every respect.  The owners allowed us complete freedom to enjoy the venue. We WILL be back."

James, 15/04/2013

"We had a wonderful stay. The tree house is a delight and provided with all you need, even a dishwasher! The setting was very special; from the balcony we could see hare, deer and pheasants; while cleaning teeth we watched a nuthatch who perched on a branch just outside the window. The woodburning stove was a treat and kept us toasty warm and my two children absolutely loved the unique bunkbeds where they could hide away. It was such a tranquil setting we all felt de-stressed after just two nights. My only criticism was the lack of sign posting to Bagthorpe Hall and no indication where to go as we came up the drive and when we arrived at the house."

Deborah , 11/04/2013

"The Treehouse was in total isolation, leaving you free to admire the views and the fields and forests in the distance. The landscape was beautiful, especially in the snow and we spent our evenings in the warmth of the log fire. With the kitchen (complete with dishwasher), we could cook anything we liked and the treehouse had a relaxed, homely feel."

Laura, 19/01/2013

"The place was absolutely beautiful, in a lovely setting. The boys really enjoyed mountaineering up to the top bunk bed!"

Things to do

There are plenty of good walks all around which Gina will be happy to show you. Elsewhere, Norfolk's many attractions include...
 
Blakeney Seal trips

Seals at Blakeney Point

See the seals at Blakeney Point, one of their favourite spots. Take a boat trip (several run nearby) or walk along the National Trust owned coastline.

Norfolk Lavender

If you'd normally associate lavender farms with Provence rather than Norfolk, a trip to the beautiful Norfolk Lavender centre will change your mind. Visit the herb & plant centre, rare breed farm, Lavender Kitchen restaurant and take away fragrant souvenirs perfumed with English lavender oil. Call for opening times: 01485 571965.

Wells-next-the-sea

This is an enchanting seaside resort with old houses, shops and pubs lining the maze of narrow streets leading to the quayside. The harbour has a long maritime history as a port, and is home to its own fishing fleet. One of the joys of this pleasant town is to stroll along the harbour watching fishing boats land, and pleasure craft sailing by.

The Hoste Arms, a 10-minute drive away, has its own small beauty spa offering relaxing treatments, a hot tub, and an excellent pub and restaurant next door (almost enough to make you wish for rain!)

Or a bit further afield, Go Ape! at Thetford, High Lodge with epic zip wires and Tarzan swings aplenty!
