Review Score: 10

A hidden gem of a holiday cottage. Such a peaceful retreat with its own secret garden. A super base to explore North Norfolk from with a bus stop nearby if you want to leave the car behind. Lovely welcome pack. Owner available to answer any queries. Would highly recommend.

We had an absolutely wonderful week at The Lodge. So peaceful. Perfect for two and a dog. Clean, comfortable, quiet and very well equipped along with private garden. Centrally located to visit beaches, Norwich , Kings Lynn. Sue is a brilliant host and took time to provide information when needed. A bonus that cost nothing was the night skies with no ambient light. And we had a meteor shower as well. Would definitely go back.
