There is so many things that made our stay here one of the best! Alison & Simon were lovely and gave the right amount of privacy while we stayed, but were more than happy to say hi and have conversations. They made great recommendations, so it gave us great pleasure to support these lovely people. The location is just off the road, but you are within the woodland so you wouldn't think it! So peaceful and secluded you can't help feel relaxation as soon as you step out the car. There were little surprises everywhere that were nice additions. From toys for the kids to play with, to items in the fridge to kick start our holiday. The place was clean, warm and very welcoming. The hot tub was a real highlight for us and was cleaned daily. Overall very much worth the money to stay here. Very close to all the things you would like to go and see while you stay in Norwich. WE WILL BE BACK! So for anyone reading this, i hope this convinces you to stay, but please leave us some spaces so we can come back. Sorry I am only writing this review now! Cameron, Robyn and the kids.

We spent a week here in Feb 2023 with friends. The hot tub was great to come home to. We ate a lot in the Restraining sargent where the meals are out of this world, book early for Sunday lunch though as they get booked up. Oak Tree Lodge has large bedrooms and a nice large walk in shower there is also a rolled edge bath if you wish to use. Parking was right outside the Lodge. It is well positioned to explore the local area, plenty of long walks around the rivers , well worth staying here, thank you Alison.

The pictures of this property do not conjure up anywhere near how wonderfully peaceful this place is. We came in from London stressed, opened a bottle of wine and sat in the hot tub admiring the clear stars above. The owner is a lovely lady, very helpful with any local information required. The property has everything we needed, the rooms are warm and spacious, The walled courtyard and garden is very private a real sun trap. The lodge is very well located, we hired a day boat on the broads from Wroxham and visited the Norfolk beaches, and a day in Norwich, a beautiful city. We will be back.

Have been before.. Just as good. Open plan ground floor very sociable. Clean, very comfortable. Hot tub well used. Well placed for Norwich and coast.

Mrs Deane

March 2019

This property met all our needs, friendly to both young children (lovely dolls house for them to play with! ) and older less mobile relatives, with downstairs bathroom facilities. The kitchen could have been slightly better equipped, just in terms of quantities of items such as glasses (so had enough to have dishwasher on, and more to use). The hot tub was a hit with our oldest child who just loved it!! We loved our holiday in Norfolk and will definitely return to the area to do all the things we didn't manage to fit in this time!

Mrs Jones

Lovely lodge, very comfortable and spacious.. The hot tub is very private and set in a courtyard style garden. Owners very helpful, and we enjoyed the bottle of prosecco left for us. Would definitely return to Oak Tree lodge.

Mrs Percival

This is our 3rd visit to Oak Tree Lodge have had an excellent weekend and hoping to go back next year..

Mrs Lombardi

Fab weather, fab lodge, fab hot tub, fab friends.. A good time was had by all

Mrs Simmons

We have been well looked after by both your company and the owner of Oak Tree Lodge.. I think that this has been the best self catering holiday experience that we have ever had. Angela Yates. (Not Mrs Simmons - that’s my mum!!)

Mrs Towlson

November 2018

A beautiful well equipped cottage situated in a lovely area, perfect for exploring Norfolk.. The cottage exceeded all of our expectations and we would definitely go back.

October 2018

We had a fantastic holiday and the house met all our needs.. The location of the house is fantastic and you can easily access all the attractions. The children absolutely loved the hot tub dispute the weather being 30 degrees. My only complaint was the lack of a washing line trying to dry clothes for 6 on a airer very difficult. The owners of the house were lovely and very helpful. Would love to go back one day. Kate and family.

The location of this lovely lodge is perfect, up a small lane, surrounded by trees, in particular a lovely oak tree beside the lodge, my husband, two friends and me discovered a perfect, peaceful retreat. It was beautifully clean, had everything you needed including one large bedroom downstairs, great for me with reduced mobility, and, a lovely log burner which warmed the spirits in the evenings. Like others we thoroughly enjoyed the wonderful hot tub at the end of the day. It's situated in one corner of a very nice patio which is completely private. Wroxham is a great place to visit just 5 miles away/15mins. We were very lucky to have perfect weather on one of our days, hot and sunny and so we hired a small motor boat where we enjoyed a picnic as we went along. There are plenty of other places to visit nearby such as Norwich, the Broads and much more and I/we can thoroughly recommend this lodge as a comfortable base. Thank you Alison for posting so quickly, and without charge, something I had left behind! Tina

August 2018

We were looking for a cottage to be near a wedding venue we were attending.. On information supplied by Sykes office we could not have been nearer. It was also central for Norwich and Wroxham. Alison the owner supplies everything you require.

Mrs Emerson

July 2018

Very accommodating hosts,

We had a wonderful week.. Roomy, open plan living downstairs was very sociable. Well equipped, very clean and comfortable. Hot tub was a surprising hit and had a lot of use. Property was close to wide variety of places to visit. Helpful owners on hand, though were not at all intrusive. Gorgeous weather was the icing on the cake.

Miss Grainger

June 2018

Cottage was as described.. We were really pleased with the open plan layout. The dolls house, toys and DVD;'s kept my little boy entertained. The house was well equipped with everything we needed my only criticism would be that the windows weren't very clean and took away from the quality of everything else the cottage offered. That said we had an amazing holiday leaflets about things in the area were really helpful and we really enjoyed Bewilderwood a local attraction that proved to be the highlight of our holiday. We would definitely like to visit again.

Mrs Plunkett

This is a beauty spacious house, set just off the road, but you feel like you’re in woodland, from the moment we arrived we relaxed.. There was five girls for a chilled out weekend, at no time did we feel on top of each other. The hot tub was lovely, the beds were comfy, sofas perfect, bathrooms relaxing, kitchen stocked with ever item needed, the house was so clean, the towels were fluffy, nice blankets on the sofa the list just goes on with how lovely the house is. I can not recommend this house enough :) Local Chinese is really tasty.

Mrs Hiley

May 2018

The cottage was superb, the owners were very friendly and helpful and we would highly recommend them.. We will definitely be back for another visit. Thank you

Mr Doddington

The cottage was very good, comfortable, and in very good order, a nice setting , very quite.. As my wife was in a wheelchair, our access was by the patio doors, which had a step and thrash hold to get over. IWe managed reasonably wekk but would have been nice to have a portable ramp to make it easer. Our host was very helpful. Our thanks to her,. We would happily stay her again in the future.

April 2018

Superb cottage, excellent owner very friendly and helpful..

Mrs Jenkins

Lovely warm comfortable cottage.. Ideal location for visiting Norfolk area. Hot tub a hit after a long day of sightseeing.

Mrs Newland

We had a lovely weekend staying in Oak Tree Lodge.. Beautiful cottage that had everything we needed. Kids loved the hot tub! Would happily stay again when we are next in the area.

Mrs Hopkins

February 2018

Had an amazing stay.. Hosts were very helpful and friendly. Would definitely come again.

Mrs Quill

The cottage is lovely , well equipped and comfortable .. Only downside I can think of is walking anywhere from there means going down a main road . If you have a car it's perfectly located for short drive into Norwich and lots to do and see in the local area . Owner and housekeeper were super kind and helpful and nothing was too much trouble !

Mr Gilbert

January 2018

Alison (owner) was absolutely brilliant..

Mrs Livett

December 2017

We had a lovely weekend over New Year at the cottage which exceeded our expectations.. The cottage is finished to high standards and is extremely clean and cosy. The log burner and hot tub are great extras. The owners were very helpful if we needed them. Lots of games, books and films to keep the whole family entertained. Would recommend the park and ride nearby to get into Norwich city centre.

Ms Grace

November 2017

Had a fabulous time, very relaxed, warm and comfortable.. Perfect location, hot tub a delight. Owner always helpful and very friendly. Can’t wait to stay there again.

We had a fantastic stay at Oak Tree Lodge.. We wanted somewhere comfortable with a hot tub for a relaxing girls weekend to catch up and do some crafting. The open living area was lovely and comfortable. The bedrooms were very comfortable and a fantastic size. The only small gripes we had were that the oven was not the greatest, perhaps a temperature issue, even putting it on a low temperature burnt our food very quickly, and the dishwasher wasn't able to clean most of the dishes so we had to rewash most of it. But despite those couple of grumbles all 3 of us thought the cottage was brilliant and would be keen to return for another girls weekend and I'd be keen to return with my family too. The hot tub was great treat too, even in the cold wet weather it was lovely to sit outside in. Thoroughly recommend this cottage.

Jack R

August 2017

A lovely place to have a relaxing holiday.. It was home from home and very private. The white horse pub did lovely food but we recommend booking in advance. Lovely owner and family.

Dr Ratcliffe

A beautiful cottage with wonderful facilities.. Welcomed with milk and a bottle of prosecco in the fridge. A very comfortable cottage which adults and children all loved. We would certainly recommend this cottage to family and friends.

Oak Tree Lodge provided the perfect base for a wonderful holiday with our two young granddaughters.The setting is beautiful, on a quiet country lane on the edge of a small woodland and it is centrally positioned for easy access to the many children's attractions in the area. The cottage itself is very comfortable, clean and well equipped with a fully enclosed and secure patio area which was ideal for our girls. The hot tub was an added bonus and we all enjoyed relaxing in it at the end of each day. We will be back.

timvP5218LE

We wanted somewhere in the beautiful Norfolk countryside - but not too far from a City - and Oak Tree Lodge fitted the bill perfectly. Definitely rural but with everything you need within walking distance (lovely pub, shop etc) and only 5 miles from the splendid city of Norwich. The Cottage itself was well beyond our expectations. Spacious, spotless and bright and with everything we could need. Alison (and her lovely dog Tilly) met us on arrival and was welcoming and able to provide useful information about the local area. The hot tub was superb and a perfect way to end the day with a gin and tonic in hand. We will definitely be back!

December 2016

I stayed here with some girlfriends for a long weekend and what a beautiful place this is and so well located! Only about 15 min drive to the town centre! Everything was immaculate and everything had been thought of. Alison even came to see us the first night to check everything was OK. The hot tub was also love especially with it being so cold outside and had plenty of privacy. Am hoping to return in the new year with my partner as loved the place so much! Thanks Alison for such a lovely stay!

Mrs Carter

May 2016

We had a great time, the cottage was well equipped for 6 people and the location was good for us. We plan to return next year.

Mrs Arthur

We all had a fantastic time at Oak Tree Lodge. We would recommend this cottage to family and friends and would also go back.

Miss Grace

November 2015

Stayed here for my sisters hen weekend and it was a truly wonderful cottage to spend the weekend in. The hot tub was amazing and the true highlight of our stay! The whole cottage was decorated beautifully and the beds were very comfortable! Overall a fabulous place to stay and we look forward to booking again.

Mrs Burford

Oak Tree Lodge is an amazing property. The owners made us feel very welcome, they have created a relaxing and stylish retreat which we enjoyed immensely. Everything you could possibly need for your stay is at hand in this well equipped Lodge. The hot tub is a real bonus, our boys absolutely loved it! All the rooms are very spacious, comfortable and decorated with a luxurious touch. The fire was lovely and cosy, in fact It was a real pleasure staying in. We had such a lovely time we are already planning a return visit to Oak Tree Lodge. We have returned to London relaxed, refreshed and would like to thank the owners for sharing their lovely lodge with us for a week. We loved every minute!

Mrs Webster

A beautiful property which was light, airy and had modern décor. In a great position for exploring Norfolk. All you need for a comfortable relaxing break.

Mr Tubb

August 2015

The cottage was spacious and well appointed. It was ideally situated just outside Norwich. We would not hesitate to recommend cottage to family and friends.

Mr Firmin

Mr Usher

July 2015

A really lovely house to spend a holiday in. Modern and really comfortable, the pictures really don't do it justice. Highly recommended and definitely a place to return to with its quiet location.

Mrs Birch

June 2015

The accommodation easily accommodated our party. There was a delightful bedroom and superb bathroom downstairs, spacious and well furnished lounge with TV e.t.c and the kitchen was pleasant with good working space available. Outside, the spa was much enjoyed. The owners were caring and friendly.

Mr Wemyss

May 2015

The Lodge is even better than the pictures. It is most comfortable, very well equipped and set up for a great getaway. Every comfort has been provided and all you need is to sit back and relax.

Mrs Frary

Had such a fantastic break away in this beautiful peaceful cottage. The hot tub was the cherry on top. Perfect for adults and children alike, even our 2 year old adored it. It was a home from home. We will definitely be returning to Oak Tree Lodge.

Mrs Deery

We had a brilliant, relaxing stay at Oak Tree Cottage. We had everything we needed and it's a great location if you want to see some of Norfolk, only about 5 minutes from Norwich which is a must see place.

Mr Crowther

April 2015

This is an absolutely superb property in a very good location. All fixtures and fittings were of the highest standard and we were made very welcome by the owners. We booked again for next year even before we left the property this time.

Mr Walker

This property was very comfortable and ideally located for exploring the area. Having never been to Norfolk before I was extremely impressed with the accommodation and the area.

Mrs Mclellan

The lodge is in an excellent location. Great decor and beds are so comfortable. The hot tub was a big feature for the whole family, great fun.

This place really is a hidden gem. A little hard to find in the dark but apart from that we really couldn't fault. Some lovely little touches when you arrive - milk in the fridge, all little essentials are available (tea, coffee, dishwasher tablets). The accommodation is wonderful - warm, generously sized and comfortable rooms, good showers...and the hot tub really is a treat - we couldn't get enough...!! The area is great as well and this cottage is an excellent base from which to explore.

Mr Richards

October 2014

The cottage was very desirable and suited our needs extremely well. The hot tub and fenced patio were exceptionally nice as was the whole property. It was in a quiet area and close to the grocery store so we could get provisions. There was also a very nice pub within walking distance. Had a large interior for entertaining the English family that live within minutes of the cottage. It was very clean and we would definitely rent this property again.

MrsShuttlewood

We stayed at the lodge last week and I felt compelled to make time to write a review. We travelled with our just turned two year old and our 10 week old baby and were very pleased to find that the lodge had almost everything we needed on arrival (toilet roll, milk, washing up liquid, kitchen towel etc) so we could settle the kids in a little without having to rush straight out to the shops. There is a Hoover, washing machine, airer, all of the things you would have at home and had I realised this I probably would have packed a little lighter. A great deal of thought has gone into making this property a home from home, suitable for families with young children and it really does show. The lodge itself is very spacious and open plan whilst still feeling homely, the photos really do not do this justice. On arrival we were greeted by Mr Fox who was waiting for us in the hallway and this instantly made our Two year old feel very at home. The property is about a 15 minute drive from BeWILDerwood (which we all loved) and is probably about the same distance from Norwich City Centre. There is a nice little Park and are various eateries and shops all within a few minutes drive. The owners have compiled a very helpful information folder which tells you most of what you need to know about local amenities. The hot tub is wonderful and fantastic to relax in after the children have gone to bed. It is serviced daily. We tried to walk to local pubs via the common but found this impossible with the pram. A car is essential to stay here if you have young children. There were very strong winds during our stay and this resulted in a power cut one evening. This just so happened to be the evening of my 30th birthday and as such we were forced to have a candle lit takeaway without the distractions of modern technology. We followed this with a log fire and a glass of bubbly. Whilst we probably wouldn't have chosen to do this it actually turned out to be the most wonderful evening (although sickeningly romantic)!! The owners were very friendly, helpful and approachable! My only criticisms would be; Because the property is situated right on the common I found myself feeling a little vulnerable that someone walking their dog could just stumble upon us using the hot tub of an evening as it didn't feel very well fenced off. However I think that the owners have already considered this as there are young bushes that have been planted which in a year or two will have grown enough to provide some protection from the common. I must say my husband did not share my concerns and was insistent that I have watched too many strange films, that is until a dog came wondering by on our last evening and we could hear people calling out for it. There was another minor thing but to be honest I've spent so long reminding myself of all the good qualities that the property has to offer that I can no longer remember what it was! Needless to say it wasn't anything serious.

Mrs Krelle

September 2014

Oak Tree Lodge was a holiday home done to a very high spec, and we were very impressed. It had everything you needed and more! The cleanliness was a 10, the amenities a 10 and the hospitality of the owners a 10. The hot tub made for very relaxing evenings. The location was perfect for so many different things. A day out on the broads, a visit to the coast, Cromer and Yarmouth and of course shopping and dining in Norwich. There are several superb local pubs to visit and truly worth it. The lodge is diamond......in the country.

tripper_tipper073

We are just fresh back from this beautiful area and accommodation. Despite being open plan the lodge feels cosy and warm - the luxurious underfloor heating helps and it is decorated to a high standard but felt welcoming for our family with a dolls house and rabbits on the grounds our girls were immediately drawn to! All of the bedrooms are superbly decorated with ample storage and two lovely bathrooms, one main bathroom downstairs and an en-suite upstairs. A small recommendation would be for the addition of a handheld shower-head upstairs, it's a bit tricky avoiding wet hair or showering young children and avoiding eyes in a rainfall shower. The HOT TUB is bliss, and serviced daily, and the local area has a lot to offer both close to the amenities of Norwich but a short distance from the beach and broads. We didn't meet the owners properly as they were on holiday themselves but we were welcomed with a bottle of wine which was a nice arrival gift. Note to travellers with small children for the twin room, bring a pressure fit stair-gate as the door is at the top of the stairs across a small landing from the master.

Mrs Hopper

August 2014

Oak Tree Lodge was very tastefully decorated, contemporary and upmarket. We really enjoyed our week at Oak Tree Lodge and would highly recommend it to friends and family.

Mr Lee

The owner was very helpful, checked to see if we all OK on arrival. Property could not be faulted. All made for a good holiday.

Guest

My only tip would be a hand held shower head,also a shelf or shower tidy for soap etc.The down stairs shower did not flow away enough.

Mrs Brewer

July 2014

Loved this cottage. It was beautifully decorated and designed for families. They provided a highchair and also books for my kids to read. We loved the hot tub, such a great extra. Any family or couple would find this cottage relaxing and the owners were lovely.

Mrs Linard

June 2014

A fabulous setting and with a hot tub! Oak Tree Lodge was so spacious, well designed and with fantastic décor. We had a brilliant week and would recommend it to friends.

Mrs Coats

May 2014

The property was absolutely amazing, beautifully decorated and furnished and very comfortable indeed. It was very well equipped and every little detail clearly thought about. It was spotlessly clean and everything felt like it was really good quality. The owner was very helpful and friendly and a welcome pack of food and drink essentials was very gratefully received after a long journey. The hot tub was a lovely addition and really helped to make the property even more luxurious. We really couldn't have asked for more. The whole experience was excellent, from booking to the end of the holiday.

Miss Bramwell

April 2014

This property was really comfortable, clean and well equipped. The tasteful décor and little touches like books and DVDs added to the comfort. For us, it was a bonus having a log burner and hot tub. The owners were pleasant and helpful, but not intrusive. We thoroughly enjoyed our long weekend here and are already planning our return trip.
