The Potting Shed is set deep in the stunning grounds of Bayfield Hall, a magnificent 18th century country house just 2 miles from the North Norfolk Coast at Blakeney. The Potting Shed is a comfortable one bedroom cottage, hidden away from the world in a completely private, magical woodland location next to the old kitchen garden.
The Potting Shed has been imaginatively converted to give a large sitting room with a logburner and comfy soft furnishings, a sumptuous bedroom with a king sized bed and en-suite bathroom with shower above the bath shower and a magnificent kitchen/dining room. The kitchen is well equipped with stainless steel electric oven and hob, a dishwasher, microwave and fridge with freezer box.
All of the rooms are open to the rafters and are light and airy. The property and its pretty, private terrace are south facing and the old kitchen garden walls form a lovely sheltered sun trap.
There are nine miles of permissive footpaths through the grounds and woodlands of the Bayfield Estate right from your doorstep. The surrounding woods include some of the oldest oaks in the country including one dating to Edward II’s reign in 1360. A haven for wildlife, The Potting Shed is an ideal location for naturalists, birdwatchers and keen walkers or those looking to find the perfect hideaway to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life!
*Please note, from October through to the end of January, Bayfield is a shooting estate and shooting parties are held regularly and on occasions around The Potting Shed. Further information can be found in the cottage.

Please remember the lovely cottages and barns we are able to offer are our owners individual holiday homes and therefore ask that you look after them and leave them as you would your own. Whilst we do not expect our guests to carry out a full clean on departure we respectfully request that properties are left, as much as possible, as they are found: Below are a few reminders on how to leave the property on your departure.
It would be most kind if you would run the vacuum cleaner over the floors andcarpets especially if you and your family or pets have brought any sand ordebris inside.All crockery, glass ware, pots and pans etc should be returned clean and totheir correct cupboards. If the dishwasher is still running when you leave, noproblem, but please do not leave any washing up for us to do!Please put any furniture, ornaments, games etc that you have moved duringyour stay back to where you found them.We do try as much as possible to be a pooch friendly company! In return weask that doggie owners must clean up all evidence of their pets stay bothinternally and externally.Please do not allow your dogs on any furniture or beds and please put anythrows that are not especially intended for dogs out of the way so they do notget hairy. Please use your own throws/blankets to protect furnishings etc.from your doggies.
Please double check all of your own property has been packed. A special reminder to check you have all phone/ipad/laptop chargers - you would be amazed how many we are asked to find each week!If you find you have left something in the cottages on your return home don’t fret!!

The house you are staying in is checked before your arrival and upon your departure by either the owner or a member of The Blakeney Cottage Company housekeeping team. Each of our properties has an individual average cleaning time and unfortunately we do have to charge guests back if the properties are left in a way that extends that average cleaning time. In the same way if any damage caused by spillages or neglect is found it will be charged back to guests. On the unusual occasion that this is the case, photos will be emailed to you detailing the problem with the time and charges required to put it right.
