Reviews
We really enjoyed staying at The Lodge. It was in a lovely quiet area, with beautiful grounds. The owner was very friendly and very helpful to us, he made us very welcome. We would definitely go again and would recommend the Lodge.
Great place, clean, tidy, comfortable, good location for discovering East Anglia, really nice, friendly, helpful owner. First place we've stayed in with absolutely no problems.
The Lodge was brilliant, you could not ask for more. It was superbly equipped and furnished and in lovely surrounding. The owner, was a perfect host and we really enjoyed our stay there. We would give it 5 stars any time and more if possible.
Had a warm welcome from a friendly host. It was comfortable accommodation in lovely peaceful surroundings.
A warm welcome by Don, the very friendly and helpful owner. The Lodge is cosy, comfortable and well equipped, in the grounds of the owner's house, in quiet and peaceful surroundings. Recommended
The Lodge is a superb place in a wonderful location. The owner is a wonderful host and a gentleman who made you feel most welcome. This was our second visit and we hope to make some more next year.
Liked everything - this was the second time we had visited The Lodge and we hope to be going again soon. The Lodge was superb, our host was brilliant and we had a very relaxing holiday - thank you.
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.
We were made very welcome by the owner Don who looked after us well.The Lodge is a cosy place to stay with everything you could want to feel comfortable and I would love to return,The only down-side was the shower.My husband is disabled and it wasn't easy to get in and out of .There was a seat but no grab rails which he needs.Apart from that and the weather (the week before had been sunny)we enjoyed the week.
The owner of The Lodge was very nice and helpful and it was in a nice quiet area.
After days out in the area, we were able to head back to The Lodge each evening and enjoy the peace and tranquillity. The cottage was very comfortable, a home away from home feel. The owner was so accommodating and helpful in every way - an extremely friendly gentleman. The cottage was perfect and we would highly recommend it to anyone who is staying in the area.
This was our THIRD visit to The Lodge! We like the welcome and the facilities. The location is excellent and has enabled us to explore many parts of Norfolk. We are considering returning again next year.
Had a very warm welcome from the owner, he made sure we were all comfortable. The Lodge was the cleanest property we have ever stayed in. I would recommend The Lodge to everybody, cannot speak highly enough about everything there. We are going to re-book soon.
This is the second time of we have stayed at The Lodge and we have booked for a month for 2015. Everything was perfect and the owner is just terrific, very helpful. The setting is very peaceful and quiet and is perfect for touring. Norwich is just 15 minutes away with all the shops and restaurants you could need.

Liked the peace and quiet and the friendliness of owner, he couldn't do enough to please you. He also gave useful and correct information regarding local places of interest to visit. I would definitely recommend to anyone and would love to go again at some stage. If you love country walks and wildlife go here.
The owner was a star, in this wonderful piece of heaven in Norfolk. We were made most welcome and felt that is was our home from home. The best holiday home we have had in years. A nice relaxing enjoyable location to see the wild life. Would definitely come again to the Lodge. We have already recommended this Lodge to our friends.
The location is Norfolk's hidden heaven, a tranquil, beautiful place to get lost in time. The owner is a wonderful caring person there if you needed anything from local knowledge to supporting you if a problem occurred i.e. our car had problem. We were made most welcome with the run of the grounds and never felt like we were intruding in anyway. The best holiday we have had and look forward to returning in the future.
A quiet location, lovely views and a friendly host.
The peace and quiet of the location and the owner was so attentive and just couldn't do enough for us. It was a perfect base from which to tour the area. The lodge was very spacious and the woodland setting was great with fallow deer just outside the window and hares boxing in the paddock facing the lodge, it was just great.
The owner was very approachable and friendly when I had any queries. The view from the cottage in the morning was lovely and in a lovely peaceful, tranquil setting. There was lots to do in the area, but it was especially near to Banham Zoo.
Beautifully situated property, with breathtaking surroundings. The owner was a real gentleman. The holiday was a piece of heaven.
We had an excellent break away at The Lodge, it is the ideal place to chill and relax, and we would recommend this cottage to anyone. The host is a really lovely man, and could not do enough for us, he was always there but not intrusive. We hope to be able to go back sometime soon. We have been to many cottages, and would say that this ranks among the best.
The owner is the most friendly and helpful person one could possibly have. I could not hope for a better place to spend my holiday, I will most certainly be booking The Lodge again.
Excellent location. Ideal for a getaway which we were looking for. Lovely walks and views, great for cycling around too. Really enjoyed the stay, will definitely recommend for short breaks.
This was a fantastic place, peaceful with beautiful scenery. One of the best places I have stayed at.
The owner was extremely kind and helpful. The lodge was a lovely place to stay in beautiful grounds. The amenities were first class and we really cannot fault the lodge and location. Many things to do. The whole experience was excellent we loved it all.
The Lodge was really exceptional, very comfy, peaceful, in a beautiful setting. We could not have chosen better, and we will be back!
Enjoyed the peace and quite, and the space of the grounds. The host was a superb host in every respect, warm and extremely friendly, really nice and genuine.
The lodge is the best property we have stayed in. We cannot praise it enough. The location is excellent and the standard of the property is extremely high. We would recommend the lodge to everyone for a unique and relaxing holiday.
This is our second visit to the property within 6 months. We have returned because we like the peaceful location of the property and the many and varied attractions within a reasonable distance.
Ease of access and superb accommodation all on one level which made it so much easier for my disabled father to enjoy his break. The care and attention to detail and friendly approach from our hosts, for whom nothing was too much trouble. Lovely secluded and peaceful location.
The location was ideal for a peaceful and comfortable retreat away from the bustle of towns and cities. We would be happy to return to The Lodge if ever we are in that vicinity again. Happy to recommend The Lodge to anyone wanting a relaxing break.
Very peaceful and very lovely - a great place.
