Nestled in Norfolk’s picturesque countryside in the village of Horningtoft between Fakenham and Dereham is Wensum Spring, a former primitive methodist chapel. This wonderful, renovated chapel dates back to 1873 and benefits from a welcoming, open-plan interior with crackling woodburning stove and a sumptuous, mezzanine, king-size bedroom as well as a fabulous location with access to the coast, countryside and charming market towns; the perfect setting for couples looking for a unique romantic retreat! Cross the threshold into your new home-from-home where you can unwind on the plush sofas after a full day of exploring, let the woodburning stove warm your feet while your partner pampers you with a delicious meal prepared in the fully-equipped kitchen. Dine together at the intimate dining table or if the sun is shining step outside to indulge in an alfresco affair upon the patio furniture and raise a toast to your getaway while admiring the countryside views. When the stars appear overhead, travel back inside to wash off the day’s adventures in the ground-floor bathroom before catching up on some well-earned sleep in the king-size, mezzanine bedroom. If you can tear yourself away from this romantic bolthole head to Brisley where you can enjoy date night with your loved one at The Brisley Bell which won Pub of the Year in 2021. Venture to the nearby market town of Fakenham to stock up on all of your self-catering essentials, test your swing at Fakenham Golf Club or lose yourself in nature at the 700-acre Pensthorpe Nature Reserve. Those looking to explore the coast will also be in their element; take a short drive to discover the glorious, golden coast of Holkham and Brancaster Beach, time your visit right to marvel at the breath-taking sunsets that the Norfolk Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is best known for! The wonders of Norwich lie slightly further afield, but is perfect for a day trip, tour Pull’s Ferry, The Museum of Norwich at Bridewell and the impressive, hilltop Norwich Castle. All this and more awaits at Wensum Spring
