Hall Farm

Vintage charm and modern comfort combine in this gleaming retro caravan, parked up in its own meadow on a farm near King’s Lynn, Norfolk. This stylish little hideaway for two has the look of an old school Airstream but it’s actually a brand new British-made Rocket caravan. It’s as comfortable and functional as it is cool. Plus, it sits in a lovely setting reflecting scenes of the Norfolk countryside on its curvy, mirrored shell.

Permanently parked at Hall Farm, this vintage-style van offers its guests a private setting in a meadow surrounded by a small woodland. It has a fire pit and seating outside. So far, so nostalgic. But, step through the door, and the interior is far more functional than you might expect, with every space cleverly designed to make sure you have all you need for your stay. There’s a dining room, a bedroom, a kitchen, shower, and loo. And because, despite the look, this caravan is contemporary, it has mod cons too: double glazing, a flatscreen TV, heating, air con, a cooker, and fridge.

The location at Hall Farm is a good one: it’s peaceful and secluded but it’s also within walking distance of a good pub. Although it’s not on the coast, it’s a good location from which to explore it, with the big names in North Norfolk beaches fanned around it in a series of 20-minute drives and a number stately homes and country estates much closer than that. Houghton Hall is close by, Sandringham not too far, and then out on the coast, there’s Snettisham RSPB reserve in the east and Hunstanton a bit further north. Thornham, Brancaster, and Wells-next-the-Sea are all within that 20-minute radius too, not forgetting the well-to-do inland village of Burnham Market.
