We went to poplar bungalow because we wanted to get away for some peace and quiet. Yes we got that , the weather was hot so we chilled in the lovely garden, our dog loved it, the garden is perfect for dogs. The cottage was vey clean, we couldn’t fault it, yes you’ll need a car to get around but that shouldn’t be a problem as you would have driven there anyway.. back to the cottage , yes we will definitely be returning one day soon 10 out of 10 .

Comfortable bungalow, owners have thought of everything for your stay. Owners very helpful and friendly. On hand for any queries. Ideal spot for easy cycling and walking along quiet lanes. Used the park and ride to get into Norwich. Be mindful to go to the right site as the one near the showground didn’t go into Norwich city centre. There aren’t any shops within walking distance so make sure you get provisions before you arrive if you are planning to eat at the bungalow. Overall a really cosy place to stay. Would recommend.

A gem set in the countryside of Norfolk. A very comfortable and warm bungalow that has everything you need for a self catering stay. Its is not too far away from all the attractions. The city of Norwich is only 1/2 hour away. Would highly recommend Poplar cottage if you are planning to explore Norfolk. We spent a week here at Easter and would definitely book it again.
