Nestled in a beautiful wildflower meadow near Elsing, Norfolk, Douglas offers a unique eco-friendly and completely off-grid escape. This bespoke, handcrafted and thoughtfully renovated horsebox has been transformed into a cosy retreat, featuring a comfortable king-size bed, a wood-burning stove, and a fully equipped kitchen. The accommodation combines rustic charm with modern comforts, with a stylish living area accessed through French doors that includes a kitchenette, seating space, and cleverly designed sleeping areas. The kitchen is well equipped with a four-hob cooker, grill, sink, and worktop space, perfect for preparing meals after a day of exploring, while the bench seating provides a relaxing spot to enjoy a book or doubles as a sleeping area for a child. A tucked-away king-size bed above the cab offers a peaceful night’s sleep, with an additional small bed underneath suitable for a child or small adult. Outside, guests can enjoy the converted loading ramp, now a charming decking area with table and chairs overlooking the meadow, as well as a private seating area with a firepit, ideal for evenings under the stars. A private shower unit and separate composting toilet are located just steps away, both offering beautiful sky views. Powered entirely by solar energy from the Norfolk sun, Douglas uses stored power for lighting, USB charging, and water systems, providing a sustainable and memorable countryside getaway.
Holiday Home
Douglas, Norfolk
“Beautiful setting, peaceful and plenty of quiet walks nearby. Welcome basket of fresh milk, fresh eggs, biscuits and coffee sachets was great. Douglas was comfortable for my stay as a solo guest. Log burner was tricky as someone who has never used one before but it got warm enough from cooking. It is a basic conversion with some attention needed- particularly as the read step was down there were large gaps were the cold and wind got in. I would recommend for a short stay and would return in warmer months.”
