Dreaming of an escape when it's safe to do so?

Currently, holidays aren't allowed in Norfolk under the Tier 4 guidelines, with people only allowed to travel in and out of the zones in a handful of exceptions. Even those under Tier 3 rules are advised not to travel or have overnight stays.

But we all need something to look forward to - and the thought of a break in a few months' time might be just that.

Here are just a handful of the Airbnb getaways you could enjoy on our doorstep.

The Signal Box, Melton Constable: This converted Edwardian signal box has 'upside down' accommodation with an open-plan living space on the upper floor to take full advantage of the wonderful rural views. Downstairs is a double bedroom with an en-suite shower room.
