The Old Pump House

Built in 1750 and with a colourful history as a farm, a boarding school and a rectory, The Old Pump House provides Gold Award five star Bed and Breakfast accommodation. The stylishly furnished rooms have several luxury extras.

Award-winning breakfasts of finest local produce are served in a pine- shuttered Georgian room overlooking the tranquil gardens and pond.

The market town of Aylsham is noted for its centuries old markets and Monday auctions of antiques and collectibles, as well as for being a founding member of Cittaslow, an international slow town movement promoting the quality of life.

A popular local attraction is the Bure Valley Railway, a nine mile steam train service to Wroxham, the ‘capital’ of the magnificent Norfolk Broads. The National Trust Blickling Hall, one of England’s great Jacobean houses, is within a short walk of The Old Pump House.

The North Norfolk Heritage Coast, a designated area of outstanding natural beauty with unspoilt beaches, salt marshes, nature reserves and timeless villages is within easy reach, as is the traditional Blue Flag resort of Cromer. The cultural amenities of the cathedral city of Norwich are just a twenty minute drive.
