Castle & Canvas Rest sits in the heart of historic Norwich, just steps from the iconic Norwich Castle and the city’s vibrant open-air market. The area is full of charm, with cobbled lanes, independent shops, cafes, galleries, and street performers creating a lively yet relaxed atmosphere. You'll be within walking distance of the Norwich Lanes, Cathedral Quarter, and popular spots like the Royal Arcade and St Benedicts Street. Whether you're after culture, great food, or boutique shopping, it's all right on your doorstep.
Guests have full private access to the entire flat during their stay. This includes both bedrooms, two bathrooms, the open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area, and all amenities inside the home.
The flat is located on the 1st floor of Castle House, and there is an available lift inside the building (and a stair lift). Access is via a secure entrance from Castle Meadow.
The flat is ideal for up to four guests, with a king-sized bed in the main bedroom and two single beds in the second. The main bedroom has its own ensuite with a walk-in shower and WC, and there's a second full bathroom with a bathtub and overhead shower. The open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area is perfect for winding down or enjoying a meal in. You'll have a smart TV, superfast Wi-Fi, and all the essentials needed for a comfortable short or mid-term stay.
The kitchen includes an oven, hob, large fridge-freezer, microwave, toaster, and kettle, along with quality linens, towels, and central heating throughout. If you love the art on the walls, Helen’s prints are available to buy – a unique memento of your time in Norwich.
Set just off Castle Meadow, the flat overlooks Arcade Street and is only steps from Norwich Castle, the market, galleries, and independent cafes. While there's no parking on-site, several secure 24-hour car parks are within a 7-minute walk. We recommend using parking apps(ie. JustPark) to get the best parking spots in the area.
This is a comfortable, characterful home in a fantastic central location – ideal for a couple’s trip, a small group getaway, or a city break with family.
