"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."
