Guests have praised Honeysuckle for its peacefulness, cleanliness, and well-equipped, cosy accommodations. The friendly staff, proximity to local amenities, and added touches like a fire pit and dog welcome pack contribute to a delightful stay. The site's quietness and the nearby zoo are also appreciated, although limited Wi-Fi and storage space are noted.
Guests that stayed at this property said
Reviews consistently mention the cleanliness of the accommodation, with guests finding it well-maintained. One mention of cobwebs suggests a minor oversight, but overall, the focus on cleanliness, especially during Covid, is clear.
The location is praised for its peacefulness and convenience, with local shops and a zoo nearby. However, one review mentioned poor Wi-Fi connectivity, which could be a location-related issue.
Guests find the shepherd's hut comfortable, with quality bedding and a well-thought-out layout. The fire pit and warm accommodation contribute to a cosy experience.
Facilities are generally well-received, with a well-equipped hut and thoughtful amenities. However, some guests noted limited storage and the ease of access for children to certain appliances, suggesting room for improvement.
The provision of a dog welcome pack and attention to detail in the accommodation show thoughtfulness. However, as gifts are not guaranteed for every guest, this score reflects the positive mentions without setting an expectation.

The staff are so lovely and cannot do enough, they have been so welcoming from before we even got here! The cabin is brilliant, very clever layout for lots in such a small space. The beds and sofa are very comfortable, and good quality bedding is included. Be warned if you have a small toddler that likes to touch everything (like ours) the microwave/oven, kettle, cutlery draw are all within easy reach and can be turned on very easily by them. Don't go mad with shopping as not a huge amount of place to store, but there is a decent size fridge with a little freezer box at the top. You wouldn't be able to cook large meals, but we've done well with pre cooked pasta, ready meals and tinned stuff in the microwave and hob. We tried the local fish and chip shop a couple of times and that was really tasty, we used the corner shop for essentials/snacks and just drove to the sainsburys in Attleborough for more specific things. Lovely little day out to the zoo next door and it's great to hear the zoo animals at night. The onsite Park is probably more suited to slightly older children, my 4year old was just a little too small, and my toddler wasn't able to do very much, but they just love running around the grass anyway! We drove to the little park in Attleborough one day which is a nice little play area for them both. If you come in winter time like us, make sure you have wellies, it gets very muddy everywhere!! We loved it so much, we managed to extend our week by a few more days, and the park team couldn't have been more helpful with this!

I would recommend anyone to seriously consider this resort especially if you like zoo animals as there is a zoo on the site. Meerkat's were our favourite's

The shepherds hit was lovely! Clean, peaceful and perfect for us. There is a bar (the barrel), butchers, shop and take away just across the road, a few minutes walk from the shepherds hut which is lovely. I will definitely be back x
