This was our second visit to Chestnut lodge, we loved the view from the windows seeing the horses, rabbits, deer and pheasant very relaxing.The lodge is a home from home, everything you need is there, easy to use oven/hob and dishwasher. Great lighting when taking the dog onto the grass when it was dark.Country park was at quick drive away good for lunch. Cafe/book shop in the church was lovely , with a beautiful walk through hillside horse rescue just behind the cemetery. Definitely recommend this lodge.

Outstanding holiday accommodation, had everything you need including two friendly horses. Perfect rural location but close to nice pubs and local shops. Good places to visit nearby and a great base to explore Norfolk. Would recommend the Garden House for food and good service. No washing machine just FYI, so make sure you take plenty of undies 😆😁
