Furnished with style it boasts an eclectic mix of period furniture and high-tech modern conveniences. Think key 1960 and 1970 Habitat pieces and vintage film posters coupled with a large smart TV and high-quality kitchen gadgets. The owner really does have an eye for design, and this translates into a luxury finish that gives this property a real grown-up, friendly vibe. Boasting two bedrooms and two bathrooms this is a really good choice for two couples and if just one couple books, you can open the lovely theatrical dividing curtains that separate the first bedroom off from the living space to make this fully open plan. The dining space is surrounded by L-shaped bi-folding doors, really allowing you to bring the outside in and boasts a reclaimed cinema conference table to sit around a chat while enjoying the view. The living room has a lovely wood burner to raise a glass in front of in more chilly months, making this the perfect choice for a break whatever season you decide to visit.
You will be tempted to stay put and chill out, but should you venture a little further you will find yourself in the heart of gorgeous North Norfolk countryside with the Broads almost on your doorstep and the coast just a short drive away. Head to Wroxham, often considered the gateway to the Broads and join a tour, captain your own day launch, or explore the stunning coastline just packed with beaches, sand dunes, marshes, quays, and clifftop walks. Don’t miss a chance for a coffee or lunch on famous Cromer pier because from here you will enjoy the best views of this pretty seaside town. In fact, there is so much to see and do here you will need to come back juts to fit it all in. And when you do, you are sure to rebook Glebe Cottage as it will steal a piece of your heart.

This was our 2nd time at Grebe lodge. Everything was the same but we had a few issues this time. However this would not stop us returning. On arriving we had to hoover and put oven trays through the dishwasher before use due to previous occupants leaving them dirty. And the windows could do with a good clean. Also the plug in main bathroom did not work. These small things just let it down Overall Grebe lodge is a lovely retreat and I would still recommend it.
