Sue Boast
A perfect place to stay. Easy to find and parking right outside the door. Although the road going past the bungalow into the High Street can be a bit manic at times. But once inside Stella's Retreat it is very quiet. Beautifully presented - wonderfully furnished and clean. Ann has thought of everything from the cakes, wine and flowers on arrival right through to all the condiments you would have at home. All the little extras were very much appreciated. Like a lot of places now, parking in Loddon is chaotic at best and busy with through traffic. Easy enough to walk the distance but the path is very narrow. But that doesn't spoil the relaxing environment at Stella's.

Our second stay here and it is exactly as we remembered. Exceptionally high standard of comfort, cleanliness and equipment. Nice little garden at the rear for the dog and all amenities close by in Loddon. Handy for Norwich and Southwold and not too far away from Broads towns. The little extras provided were much appreciated. Stella’s Retreat is a credit to its owners and I wish all cottages we’re as good as this!
