We have never stayed at a cottage with so many little touches to make you comfortable.. Don is so friendly and welcoming and makes the stay extra special. Nothing is too much trouble. The cottage is set in the most beautiful surroundings and we had a walk every morning, going out the gate and along the avenue of trees without any traffic, just horses, deer and squirrels.

Words can not describe the amazing scenery in which the lodge sit's, to see munjac deer green woodpeckers hares and partridge in the surrounding grounds to name but a few !! The freedom given by the owner to enjoy his garden along side his knowledge and wisdom of the surrounding area made our holiday complete. The lodge has everything you need for a very comforable stay.

The location is superb and the wildlife is a joy to watch with deer, hares and hawks all visiting us during our stay. The owner is the most generous of hosts and he has become a valued friend. The Lodge is a peaceful oasis and yet is 5 minutes from the A11 from which all parts of Norfolk can be reached. Norwich is some 15 minutes away and is a fantastic place to visit for meals, entertainment or just sightseeing. Cannot recommend highly enough.
