Eco-friendly motel in Castle Acre with digital key access and dog-friendly rooms
Accommodations
The Pig Shed Motel offers 10 contemporary styled bedrooms with underfloor heating and high-pressure shower facilities. Each room includes a dedicated, individually allocated free parking space. Select rooms provide a kitchenette with full amenities including a microwave and dishwasher, while double glazing ensures a quiet stay.
Eco-Friendly & Technology
The motel operates with solar panels and a rainwater recovery system to reduce environmental impact. Guests access their rooms using an innovative app that serves as a virtual room key. The self check-in and self checkout process eliminates the need for a traditional reception desk.
Pet-Friendly Amenities
Dogs are welcome in dedicated dog-friendly rooms for a £10 per night fee. The motel provides special attention to pet guests with facilities such as a private outdoor area adjacent to the room. Pet owners can enjoy the convenience of a reserved parking bay and direct outside access from the room.
Dining & Nearby Attractions
The George and Dragon pub is located adjacent to the motel and serves traditional English village pub food with a high standard of cooking. Castle Acre Castle is a 16-minute walk from the motel, and the beaches at Wells-next-the-Sea are a short drive away. The Red Dot Gallery in Holt and Narborough Hall Gardens (10 km) provide additional day trip options.

“The Pig Shed Motel hits a sweet spot, offering impeccably clean, modern rooms with surprising attention to detail, like thoughtful coffee supplies and underfloor heating. Its position, just a short drive from Swaffham and adjacent to the George and Dragon pub, makes it a sensible base for exploring Norfolk, while the secure parking adds a layer of practical reassurance.”
