Guests that stayed at this property said
Reviewers unanimously describe the property as spotless and immaculately presented, indicating a top-level of cleanliness that contributes significantly to the enjoyment of their stay.
The lodge is appreciated for its peaceful setting and proximity to local attractions and dining options in Diss. The presence of wildlife and the quiet environment are highlighted, suggesting a very desirable location.
Comfort is a recurring theme, with guests finding the lodge very comfortable and peaceful, contributing to great night's sleep and a relaxing experience.
Facilities, including the well-maintained hot tub and the well-equipped lodge, receive high praise. The only minor criticism is a small washbasin, but this does not significantly detract from the overall excellent facilities and maintenance.

About this property
Diss 5.3 miles. Enjoying a central position within South Norfolk, just a few miles away from the market town of Diss, is this well-presented lodge resting within a secluded position on the grounds of the owners property, Someplace Else. This romantic retreat is ideally placed for a couple seeking to explore the Norfolk Broads, the Thetford Forest Park or head to the glorious coastline. Soak up the countryside setting before stepping into the open-plan living room, where you will be delighted to find all the essentials that you could possibly need during a week-long break. Here, you will find a well-equipped kitchen complete with all the essentials to rustle up a home-cooked meal that can be enjoyed at the dining table. After dinner, look forward to curling up on the leather sofa to plan the days ahead whilst the woodburning stove fills the room with a gentle warmth during those chilly winter months. The interior is completed by a spacious double bedroom, which benefits from ample storage to house your personal belongings, a TV for those relaxing evenings in and a window that offers delightful views for you to wake up to each morning. To the outside you will find a decked area, where you can dip into a bubbling hot tub to soak up the surroundings and catch the final glimpses of sunshine during a balmy afternoon. If you can tear yourself away from this romantic retreat, a short walk will bring you to the local pub where you can enjoy a delicious evening meal. Alternatively, venture slightly further afield to the town of Diss where you will find a superb selection of restaurants, pubs, cafes and delis, as well as a selection of independent shops for picking the essentials. To keep you busy whilst staying here, there's a farmers market at the local village hall on the 4th Saturday of each month, or head to Bressingham Steam and Gardens, wander the endearing Diss Mere or catch a play at the impressive Corn Hall. Other attractions include the Banham Zoo which is home to over 2000 animals or enjoy a walk upon the Knettishall Heath.

The cottage was remote enough and also close enough to the towns and local villages, the hot tub was a great addition to relax in and regard from our busy work life.

Wild deer, rabbits playing, a hot tub to watch them in. The lodge is super homely, with supplies for tea and biscuits. Clean and well presented. Overall 10/10.

Very well equipped with everything you needed to cook a meal. Very relaxing watching the wildlife on the lovely big garden. Hot tub fantastic...Can't fault anything. We had such a chilled out break. Hosts are great, never bothered us but there when we needed them. Pub 5 minute walk away. More pubs & supermarkets a short drive away. Perfect
