Welcome
Slow down, reconnect with nature, and plan a peaceful retreat or countryside stay in rural Norfolk.
Home House Homestead offers personal guest house stays, private retreats, and restorative countryside breaks designed to help you rest, recharge, and feel more like yourself again.
A home away from home.
A place to remember the home that lives within your heart.
What we offer
A home away from home where you can be cared for and deeply nourished as you remember that true home lives within the heart.
Stays and retreats
A gentle invitation to step away from the busyness of everyday life for a peaceful bespoke countryside stay, private retreat, or slower restorative break designed to help you slow down, rest deeply, reconnect with nature, and remember the feeling of home within yourself.
Whether you're seeking solitude, creative space, quiet reflection, or simply a few days of being cared for, you'll find a warm welcome waiting for you here in the Norfolk countryside.
If you are planning a retreat, start with our Norfolk retreats page. If you are comparing accommodation, explore guest house stays to see how a quieter countryside break differs from a retreat-led stay.

“Home house such a lovely place I volunteered here for a few days each week during the summer I learned so much from how to plant seedlings to how to harvest produce. Eating throughout the day was so rewarding and satisfying to know that most of the things on my plate came from the farm it was amazing can’t wait to go back!”

“It was such a pleasure to spend a few days in Ramadan with Hawa. She is a wonderful host and the location , with its lake at the bottom of the garden and the beach nearby is wonderful : ideal if you wish to have time for prayer, for meditation and somatic work or if you just wish solitude.”

“I recently attended the 2-day weekend hempcrete course with Graham Durrant. The course blew me away and Graham’s deep knowledge of the science of building a well-performing building was evident as he gladly answered all the burning questions we had to ask him about hempcrete.”

“I had a hijama/cupping treatment with Hawa and it was incredibly nurturing and exactly what I needed. I felt like I was in good hands and that I could totally relax and trust Hawa, in fact I fell asleep. The setting is very peaceful and beautiful.”

Journal
Occasional reflections, seasonal notes, and quiet updates.
Have you ever noticed how hard we can become? Hard in our bodies. Hard in our words. Hard in our opinions. Hard in our behaviour. Hard in the invisible walls we build around our hearts.
10 years ago, when my 17 year relationship and marriage ended...it felt like I had lost a limb. Along my journey to heal and somehow return to wholeness from what felt broken and shattered inside of me, I made a commitment to love harder than any other emotion.
There are times in life when we find ourselves stuck. Stuck in our bodies. Stuck in old emotions. Stuck in patterns that keep repeating. Stuck in relationships, in fear, in people-pleasing, in overwhelm, in anxiety, in pain, in shutdown, in habits we cannot seem to break.
Come and have a bespoke stay tailored for you.
For individuals, small groups and families. We reply personally.
