The Lodge in Norfolk receives high praise for its cleanliness, comfort, and the warm hospitality of hosts Jon and Mandy. Guests appreciate the well-appointed property, beautiful gardens, and the added luxury of a private hot tub. Its location is ideal for exploring the Broads, coast, and Norwich, despite some noting the need for a car for local amenities. The welcome pack and thoughtful touches are frequently mentioned, contributing to a delightful stay.
Guests that stayed at this property said
Reviewers consistently mention that The Lodge is very clean, with several describing it as 'spotlessly clean'. This indicates a high level of satisfaction with the cleanliness of the property.
The location is generally praised for being great for exploring Norfolk, including the Broads and the coast. However, a few guests mentioned the need to use a car for local amenities and some noted traffic noise, which slightly impacts the score.
Guests find The Lodge comfortable, often highlighting the cosy atmosphere and the quality of the beds. The addition of a sunroom and the private hot tub are frequently mentioned as enhancing the comfort of their stay.
Facilities at The Lodge are highly regarded, with special mentions of the exclusive hot tub and well-equipped property. There is a single mention of a non-working dishwasher, but this seems to be an isolated incident and does not detract significantly from the overall positive feedback.
The thoughtfulness of the hosts is a standout feature, with many guests appreciating the welcome pack and extra touches. While these gifts are highly valued, it is noted that such personal touches, while common, are not guaranteed for every stay.

Mary
A little over furnished with sagging sofa in the main room by TV, which made it somewhat difficult for me to easily sit and get up and down, something firmer would have been better. Kitchen facilities good, and our hosts were very friendly and as well as coming to greet us when we arrived left a welcome pack which was lovely. Would well recommend. Good central place for visting NT properties, the beach, nature reserves and even a private garden.

The hosts Jon and Mandy are very helpful and friendly. There are some lovely walk around Coltishall and good restaurants. The local shop is stocked with basic food and has a cash point . I can not drive so relied on public transport. There is a regular bus service going to North Walsham or Norwich during the day but not in the evenings. Unfortunately the bus stopped running during my stay due to the bridge being closed for the week and a big thank to Jon for the help to get me from A to B. The cottage is located on a busy road which not safe to walk on but there is a quiet back lane that goes to the river at Coltishall or the bure valley railway. There is lots of wildlife around and walking on a bridleway just a short distance from the cottage and I had delight of a deer walking by me and the next day a fox. I really enjoyed my stay at cottage. The is plenty to do around Coltishall and for those with a car it is well located for the Norfolk Broads and Coast.
