SPECIAL FACILITIES
luxury indoor heated pool
Our luxury indoor heated pool provides ideal therapy for joint pain or injury recovery & recuperation. The wide shallow steps and adjacent hand rail make entry to the water more manageable if mobility is restricted.
Water Walking therapy: The pool is shallow enough to walk from one end to the other using the water as gentle resistance. Water walking is a low-impact cardio exercise. This means it’s gentler on your bones and joints, making it a safer exercise option for people who have conditions like arthritis, osteoporosis, or fibromyalgia.
The salt-dosed indoor heated swimming pool is accessed via courtyard 2. There is an access ramp to the door with a 20cm threshold to the entrance lobby. There is a large private changing room with shower and WC (we can provide (grab rails) and also a communal space with 4 changing cubicles and locker storage.
The pool is a continental deck level design with long shallow steps with a handrail leading to the shallow end.
All guests have private allocated swim times during their stay. However, if you are booked to stay for a midweek break out of season or if we are not fully booked we can arrange additional private swim slots for water therapy.
Pool water temperature is 29 – 30 degrees – Please note: it is not a hydrotherapy pool.

I really loved Norfolk. The cottage is so so so great and the pool was the best. Everyone absolutely loved it - we thought we should have stayed a whole week. I wish I could stay forever. Bye Bye!
We have had a fantastic time and would love to come again
We very much enjoyed our stay in the lovely warm surroundings of Woodpecker Cottage. Heated pool absolute bliss for early morning swims with the added bonus of splendid views of extensive countryside through those huge windows. Thanks for a wonderful stay, we will be back soon.
The two cottages were booked as a surprise for my 60th birthday, and what a surprise. I could not have hoped for a more fantastic celebration. We all enjoyed a brisk walk in Wells-next-the Sea, lunch in a local pub followed by a swim in the great pool here. The cottages are so well equipped, everything has been well thought out. I would recommend the cottages to any group wanting something special! Very relaxing time had by all.
A wonderful week with plenty of memories - and amazingly enough, no rain, even some sunshine. Completely sold on Norfolk and this place - have no doubts we will be back.
Just wanted to say thanks for the Easter egg - what a lovely welcome surprise! We have had a wonderful stay and Coot cottage worked so well for us with Harry - you really do think of everything!
Plenty to keep the children entertained and over all very comfy place to stay. Only a short drive from wells next the sea for a day trip out too. Highly recommend for somewhere to stay in Norfolk.
We have just been here for three nights but so wish we were able to stay a week! Thank you so much and we wish you every success with this venture which is truly excellent
Wonderful to come back to such a peaceful place, fresh air and beauty. It was very snowy while we were here and although very cold still fantastic. We loved the touch of the welcoming tea tray and fresh flowers - felt very personal. A wonderful haven!
