Tucked away in three acres of private grounds in beautiful Cley next the Sea, Knotting Hill Farmhouse offers sweeping views of rolling farmland on one side and the North Norfolk coast just a short walk away on the other. It’s the kind of place you book once – and immediately plan your return.

Sleeping up to 18 guests across eight luxurious en-suite bedrooms (yes, really), this unique stylish retreat is the go-to for family takeovers, group getaways and milestone celebrations. With a hot tub, wood-fired sauna, outdoor showers and invigorating cold-water plunge tub, it’s no wonder it’s also a favourite with the UK’s top wellness retreats too.

Inside, it’s pure escapist chic. Interiors by the legendary Russell Sage Studio (world-renowned interiors consultancy behind some of the UK’s most iconic spaces) blend bold colour pops with rustic textures and contemporary flair. When you’re not soaking up the design inspo or steaming in the sauna, head outside to the Swedish outdoor kitchen, heated al fresco dining area, and pizza oven – the ultimate setup for a dinner party under the stars.

Set within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this is a paradise for walkers, cyclists, and nature lovers – but if you’ve left your boots behind, no worries. The boot room, created with luxury brand Le Chameau 1927, is stocked to the nines with wellies, free for guests to use. Borrow bikes, go sailing, tee off nearby, or challenge the crew to a game on the full-sized grass volleyball court (loser cooks dinner!) there’s no end of things to keep your tribe entertained. And when the sun goes down, the fun continues indoors – with a fabulously kitsch dressing-up room packed with costumes for a proper party night – bagsy the boa!

Prefer something slower paced? Treat yourself to a private chef, book in a massage or yoga class, or arrive to a kitchen already stocked with your favourites. Knotting Hill Farmhouse has thought of everything. All that’s left to do? Book up – and then count the days until your stay.
