Norfolk Bound Launched last year by Simon Graham, Norfolk Bound is a collection of distinctive holiday lets in North Norfolk, including renovated cottages and reimagined barns. The jewel in the family-run brand’s crown is Little Massingham Manor, boasting three of the group’s self- catering properties within its grounds. Dating back to 1907, the manor is from the Arts and Crafts period, offering six bedrooms – available for group or individual stays – and set amid three acres of woodland, gardens and meadows. At the Woodland Spa, there are outdoor Scandinavian wellness experiences, including a barrel sauna and traditional wooden hot tub. A stay here means you can access North Norfolk’s famous beaches, such as Holkham, or explore the nearby picturesque village of Great Massingham, known for its pretty setting, independent shops and the historic Dabbling Duck Inn. Launching soon within the grounds are luxury shepherd’s huts with wood-fired hot tubs and saunas, and the Elizabeth Simpson boat – a historic 50-foot lifeboat – which is being restored and crafted as accommodation in the grounds.
