We recently celebrated my partners birthday with a weekend away and it couldnt have been more lovely. The hosts were super friendly and helpful from start to finish, making us feel right at home. The lodge itself was spotless and really well kitted out - we lacked for nothing. The location is fantastic, plenty to see and do in north Norfolk. Were already planning our next visit, cant wait!

We spent a week here in July with our two little dachshunds and honestly, it was lovely. The village of Thaxted is charming and our dogs loved making new friends in the neighbourhood. The cottage itself is cosy and well-kept, with a hot tub that was such a treat, especially during the scorching days when the water was just right for a cool down. The hosts were really friendly and made us feel at home. Watching the planes land at Stansted was surprisingly enjoyable too. Definitely a place wed return to!
