Set in a beautiful spot nestled on the edge of the lake of which the reality of the photos excelled in the scenery upon arrival . We were already stocked with eggs, milk and delicious cake as well as lovely flowers - on the cosy dining table (thanks to Robert our congenial host). A well equipped holiday home with everything you need for a very comfortable stay with tasteful decor nodding to the beauty of the Norfolk countryside . We were delighted to see the Kingfisher on our second morning - a magical sight. Thankyou to Robert and family for the extra touches . Certainly one of the best picturesque and memorable places we have stayed. We are already looking to book for next year. Tracey and Andrew

Lovely lodge very well maintained with good facilities. Fishing on site but quite difficult to catch. We had a great time and the village was very friendly. We will certainly be returning.

Everything you could need was at the lodge, however there was no hairdryer.. The location was idyllic, the wildlife was fascinating. There were another 2 lodges around the lake but no one disturbed anyonelse. If you like fishing, check it is the correct time to fish. Between March and June is not allowed. Apparently there was a hot tub and pool, but no directions where to find this, and we didn't want to knock on the farmhouse door to find out. The heated panels were a bit hit and miss, we reckon they were on a timer. Although basically clean, it did need a Hoover down the sides of the sofa and the lampshade, but this did not stop us having a lovely relaxing week.

Excellent location and facilities for a quiet, relaxing break.. Cooker and settee past their best, but that's a minor niggle.

Very good value for money? Local village has all the shops/pubs you need. Did fish the lake however as works in progress would like to return & fish in the summer.

It's lovely place to unwind there no Internet or phone but great for a break technology and get back to nature watch birds flying on to pool.. The village is just up lane so can get most things you need.

What a find! The most peaceful location to relax and unwind, there is another property on the lake with a third being built but the clever positioning by the owners makes for no loss of privacy. The lodge itself is comfortable and has all you need. The location is a perfect base for so many days out, St George's Distillery is only a mile away so leave the car here and walk to enjoy a great tour and food. This is our first time at the lodge but it will not be our last.

What a gem! Peaceful and chilled week at this amazing lodge. Well placed for many areas to visit but equally it is a place to just sit on the decking looking over the lake and just chill.

We enjoyed the holiday very much there was every thing we needed for our stay Mr Green came and introduced himself which was a nice touch .. It was a pity about the fishing because the lake had gone down well over 21/2ft caught a load of nice rRudd and Roach and a massive Eel that came unhooked in the landing net lucky ha ha ( i don't like them much) but I'm sure after a few good showers it will be soon back to normal and the larger fish can be had we will certainly be back for another go thanks.

What a beautiful setting, lovely lake and surrounding area, the wildlife was amazing, kingfisher wanting to share our balcony.. Considering we were next to the water I was surprised how few flies and bugs there were. The lodge is of a very high standard with good quality fixtures and fittings, it is the only holiday let I have been too over several years that I haven't felt the need to clean the crockery and cutlery before use. It was immaculate, the bed was very comfy . There was an extremely well equipped kitchen, with some complimentary supplies, there was even a bag of ice in the freezer which was greatly appreciated as it was the hottest week of the year so far. We were very impressed with the Farm, found the fishing a little disappointing as the lake needs some attention which we know the owners have in hand and is a work in progress. We have already discussed a return visit next year, we were made very welcome by all the family and look forward to returning to Lakeside Lodge. Julie & Barry 23rd to 30th June 2018

It was peaceful and the view from the Lodge was wonderful.. Easy access to main roads yet you felt like you were miles from anywhere. Fantastic place to stay. Just two things we would take with us next time is a tea pot and a shower mat. Other that that perfect.

It’s mentioned in the broucher there are eating places in the village,lm sorry to say that’s not quite true,as the George& Dragon is now closed ,the fish & chip shop is there but the nearest pub with food is the Angel at larking ,about 2mile away.. Apart from that the Lodge was really lovely,quite and peaceful, and the owner was very helpful, the fishing was very good but hard to catch the big ones.

Very nice place seems it is a bit of project all trees around lake have been removed and it is not like picture now, also new shephards hut been put in and they are also building new 2 bedroom lodge ! with the fact they also have another 4 person lodge as well, it will not be so quite and would be to many people. they have also put £10 a day charge for fishing.

It's was a very good holiday lodge warm, clear and cosy a great place to get away.. Only 5 minutes away from village. Look forward to booking again in spring to see all the birds on lake and may be glass of wine on decking.

If it is peace and quiet you are after, this is the place. A beautifully furnished lakeside lodge set in gorgeous countryside on a private farm. The fishing on the lake was such an added bonus, but the wildlife was amazing, heron, kingfishers, wrens, barn owl, kestrels, deer, geese. The owners were more than helpful and the village of East Harling was only a 5 minute walk which had everything you would need pubs, supermarket (small), butchers, chemist, fish & chip shop. If you could drag yourself away from the lake, then Diss and Thetford were within easy reach and both worth a visit. Will definitely be back.
