  • Off-grid rural site with restored vintage horse lorry conversions
  • A 35-minute drive from The Broads and 40 minutes from the coast
  • Each unit has a firepit, full kitchen, woodburning stove and shower
What a fitting name Get Away Hide Away has, for this off-grid site is tucked into the quiet, scenic Wensum Valley in the small hamlet of Elsing in the Norfolk countryside. The family who run the site are in their fourth, fifth and sixth generations on the farm, and they like to share their local knowledge with guests who stay in the carefully and cleverly restored vintage horse lorry conversions. Surrounded by half an acre of wildlife meadows each, the units are in pole position for watching Norfolk wildlife. Butterflies, roe deer, hares, badgers, hedgehogs, buzzards and red kites are often seen, sometimes all in just one afternoon. Sometimes you may be preoccupied with other matters, like cooking or stoking the firepit. The characterful conversions have plenty of comfortable amenities, from an outdoor decking area to a firepit with an additional seating area and a removable griddle for ambient alfresco dining. While the conversions are off-grid and eco-friendly, they still have many creature comforts including a woodburning stove, a sofa bed for extra seating and subtle lighting and USB sockets powered by solar. The kitchens are well-stocked for cooking or even baking; they have a four-hob grill and oven, a worktop and a kitchen sink. Next to each conversion is a private modern shower and a separate well-maintained composting loo. When you want to explore, there are many bike rides around the local rural road network or the river Wensum and historic disused railway lines. The owners will hand you a map of public footpaths as well as local pubs, of which three are within walking distance of the site. A farm shop with fresh produce, ice cream, milk and other local produce is a 40-minute walk away.
