About this property
This welcoming, comfortable detached lodge is nestled within the grounds of the owners' home, down a private lane on the outskirts of the rural Norfolk village of Old Buckenham. This rural retreat offers bright and spacious accommodation set over one level, with easy access for less mobile guests as it benefits from having a walk-in shower with a seat and massage jets. From the windows of this Old Buckenham cottage you can gaze over open fields and woodland, whilst outside the lodge you can relax on the patio with a cup of coffee listening to the birds singing in the summer sunshine. The quiet lanes surrounding this Old Buckenham cottage offer good cycling and walking terrain where you can enjoy country walks for over a mile without venturing on to public roads; a perfect way to enjoy rural Norfolk at its best.

The popular city of Norwich is within easy driving distance with a wealth of museums, two beautiful cathedrals, a castle, river boats trips, open bus tours, and an informative town trail as well as an excellent shopping centre with a wide selection of eateries.

It is set in a quiet location and is very peaceful . The setting is ideal for a quiet break . The wildlife is abundant . The Lodge is one of the best holidays I have had . You are met by the owner whoâs name is Don and his dog Willow . Don is a friendly man and always has time to chat about the day . Willow came to see us every day and is a friendly Labrador . I cannot wait to go there again . Don you are a star and a great host .

It is set at a most beautiful country side, with lovely walks. The host, Don was very helpful and attentive. We fell in love with his dog, Willow, although one of us doesn't even like dogs. We can definitely recommend The Lodge and we are looking forward to visiting again.
