Guests say
Sedge Lodge receives high praise for its peaceful location, spacious and clean interiors, and well-equipped kitchen. Guests particularly enjoy the hot tub, large gardens, and thoughtful touches from the hosts. The property is dog and wheelchair friendly, making it suitable for a range of visitors. While most reviews are very positive, a few mention minor maintenance issues and some accessibility challenges. Overall, guests find it a relaxing and comfortable retreat, ideal for families and groups seeking a tranquil getaway near Ely.
The majority of guests describe the property as spotlessly clean and well looked after. Only one review mentions an issue with pet hair on furniture, but this is outweighed by consistently positive feedback.
The lodge is praised for its tranquil, peaceful setting and beautiful views. Its rural location is appreciated by those seeking quiet, though a car is necessary for access to local attractions and amenities.
Guests find the lodge spacious, comfortable, and relaxing, with cosy beds and a log burner. A few minor issues are noted, such as a cold window in one bedroom and a mattress needing replacement, but overall comfort is rated highly.
Facilities such as the hot tub, gardens, and well-equipped kitchen are frequently praised. Some guests mention minor maintenance issues (oven, furniture, window insulation), and note that the spa is no longer operating, but these do not detract significantly from the overall experience.
Many guests mention generous welcome packs including wine, bread, milk, butter, and biscuits. While these thoughtful touches are appreciated, it should be noted that such gifts are not guaranteed for every stay.

For a change of pace and some refreshing sea air, you can be in Hunstanton in less than an hour. Here you will find a wide sandy beach that seems to go on forever, a small funfair, a Sealife Centre, Norfolk Lavender and lots of seaside shops and cafes. Closer to home lies the bustling city of Ely with its impressive cathedral, nicknamed ‘The ship of the Fens’ because of the way it rises up on the horizon. Here you will find a fascinating stained glass museum, which offers a rare insight to this beautiful art form.
Bustling Newmarket is close by and offers a famous racecourse which often hosts musical entertainment evenings. For breathtaking countryside, visit Thetford Forest with its numerous walks and cycle routes, and its Go Ape centre, featuring tree walks, zip wires and Tarzan swings.

Sedge Lodge is a wonderful place to stay, providing you have your own transport as it’s off the beaten track. It is lovely and quiet and the views stunning. The hot tub and sauna were a bonus, although we didn’t get round to using them. The owners left us a bottle of wine, bread, milk and butter which was a lovely, thoughtful surprise. There is also a very large garden with a pond. We absolutely loved our stay and hope to go back some time.
