Date of stay: 27th July 2025

We Had lovely time here, the lodge was very spacious and very clean. We loved that the hot tub was private (on the side) rather than being at front where everyone could see. The lodge is tucked away on beautiful golf course, with a little shop which gives you so much more quality family time. Its so peaceful especially at night. For families staying we recommend the following days out : ROARR (about hour away) Skylark (about half hour away) Train to kings Lyn (station is 5/10 mins away in car, and cost £13 for family of four return) Bircham windmill - (50 mins away) climb to the top, make own bread, play stuff for children, horse, lovely cafe!

Really enjoyed our visit overall, even though theres no restaurant onsite which was a bit of a letdown. The free golf was a lovely bonus and wed definitely return for another round someday!

We had a fantastic stay! The house was super cosy and well kitted out, perfect for a chilly December day. The bath was so relaxing and the shower was a good size. Even though its under a flight path, we hardly noticed any noise, so dont let that put you off. Great spot for dogs who dislike fireworks - totally peaceful out here. Thanks a lot!
