Peace and quiet

This memorable place is anything but ordinary. Located in the quaint countryside village of Thorpe Market, on the grounds of a Grade 2 listed period property. This is a beautifully renovated and thoughtfully converted tiny escape: Bensley Snug. They say all good things come in small packages and that is exactly what you get with this property. Relax in this romantic setting, meander along country lanes, dip your toes in the sea and dine at the best sea-food restaurants around. Idilic bliss!

The space
This small but perfect escape provides everything you need to unwind, relax and rejuvenate.  Upon arrival park in your dedicated space, while taking in the views of the stunning 1830's period flint-built house.  Follow the country garden path to your private entrance gate, opening onto your private paradise.  Outside dinning with bbq, fire pit and seating area, waiting for you to arrive.  Double low doors open onto the lounge, complete with leather sofa and smart tv.  Tucked away at the rear is the small country kitchenette, with fridge and combination oven microwave. The original beams and flint wall complete the country rustic feel.

Life is short so I try to make the very most of every moment. I like to spend time in nature, traveling to explore new places and spending cosy nights in with my family and our pets. My daughters dream is to be a lioness, playing football for England, so I spend most weekends and evenings supporting her football passion!
