"Once a year, myself and two of my best and oldest friends commit to taking equally long, often weather-beaten drives across the UK to come together for a full weekend of quality time and quality wine. Years ago we'd meet in a city and craft a jam-packed itinerary of things to do and see, coordinating outfits and catching up along the way."
"When we landed on a November date this year, I knew Robin Hood Cottage in Norfolk would suit us all. As soon as we turned the key in the door, I realised I'd struck gold. We were welcomed by the owner, Julie, who led us through the courtyard and a pretty wooden backdoor to the place we would bed in for the next two nights. Inside we were met with a home that felt lived-in and welcoming in a way some rentals simply don't."
"As we wandered through winding corridors discovering all 5 bedrooms in the main house, Julie explained that Robin Hood Cottage was once a country pub. It makes sense, considering the sheer size of the place, the dark wooden beams and the original hand-written deeds framed and hung on the walls of the hallway. I can picture groups of friends, families and couples hunkering down here on a Sunday afternoon, fresh from long walks on the coast."
Three lifelong friends maintain an annual tradition of long drives across the UK to spend a weekend together. Their priorities have shifted from busy city itineraries to calm, easy living after nearly a decade and growing families. They stayed at Robin Hood Cottage in Norfolk, welcomed by owner Julie and guided through an inviting, lived-in house. The property was once a country pub, featuring dark wooden beams, original hand-written deeds, winding corridors and five bedrooms. The main rooms contain a blazing fire, family collectables, boardgames and a kitchen table laid with local bakes and wines, creating a cozy, communal atmosphere.
