“OUr second visit to the lodge.”

As before a warm welcome to a lovely, quiet holiday property. Everything we needed was there and the owner was most helpful and friendly (as was his dog Willow).

“The Lodge is situated in a lovely peaceful part of the world.”

. Very comfortable accommodation with everything we could need. The greatest joy, however, was the opportunity to meet the owner, Don, and his beautiful dog, Willow. Don is such a kind friendly host, and Willow's daily visits were something we looked forward to. We will never forget either of them.

- Sandra, September 2024

Thank you so much for your kind words Don and Willow Property Owner

Robert August 2024

“We have just spent a week in this lovely lodge which is well equipped with everything you need.”

A beautiful place which is very peaceful, lots of walks around and visits in the garden every morning by the muntjac and other creatures. We also had visits every morning at breakfast, from Willow (Don's dog) who brought us presents - usually one of Don's shoes!! We also saw the tawny owl on an evening on our walks with Willow, who liked to come with us. Don is an incredible man with a fantastic sense of humour. We received a very warm welcome from Don and Willow on the afternoon we arrived which made us feel at home. We enjoyed Don's company and often spent some time with him in an evening. He was very helpful and nothing was too much trouble.

- Robert, August 2024
Thomas August 2024

Moira July 2024

“We spent 2 weeks at the Lodge and it was the most relaxing time we've had for a long time.”

Don the owner went out of his way to help when I'd had to ring to say we were lost, he just told us to put hazard lights on and he would find us. Ten minutes later he arrived like a Knight in shining armour. He is such a gentleman and it shows in the care he gives about his property, a perfect place to stay and you don't feel crowded by the owner as in other places we've been. Clean tidy well equipped all goes without saying just a lovely place to be.

- Moira, July 2024

“Very comfortable.”

Idyllic setting for peace and quiet but easy access to places of interest. Owners dog is very friendly and helped make the stay more enjoyable as she visits regularly and accompanies you on walks. Electric car charging available at 3kw so need to bring granny cable. Local pubs in Old and New Buckingham serve excellent food. Great area for walking, cycling, sight seeing or just enjoying the very large garden.

“The Lodge is a cosy and comfy home from home.”

I was most impressed with the cleanliness and how well equipped it is! Don is a very caring host and nothing too much trouble. His dog Willow is a lovely addition with her sweet and gentle nature...and her love of biscuits. The setting is a bucolic dream with long views, birds visiting the bird table, sheep and horses in the neighbouring fields. Even in January it was a tonic to be there. Thankyou Don and Willow.

“The Lodge was the best place we have ever stayed in we was welcome by Don the owner and his dog Willow who is now my new best friend.”

Everything was clean and comfortable home from home. The Lodge is in the most beautiful surroundings so quiet and peaceful. The only thing l might add would be they could do with a lamp in the lounge because if you are an avid reader the lighting isn't very bright. Car is essential for getting about. Will certainly be going back.

“Don (owner) has really made the lodge a lovely place to stay, he is very welcoming and kind.”

The lodge has everything you need and it’s own parking space. Don has a wonderful canine companion Willow, beautiful character, friendly and will always welcome you back. Felt like being at home. WiFi signal isn’t great but you are in the countryside so we expected it. You certainly need to have a car to get about. The lodge is close enough to travel to Lowestoft and Great Yarmouth, lots of brilliant places to visit nearby like Banham Zoo and Bressingham. We had a fantastic weeks stay and hope to go back.

- Susan, August 2021

Jill July 2021

“A really beautiful setting for a peaceful holiday.”

The Lodge was comfortable and spacious and the welcome warm. We enjoyed the outdoor seating and loved the bird and animal life. A great place for easy walking as well. My only suggestion for improvement would be to add to the kitchen utensils . Cooking a meal was a challenge with only one decent sized saucepan and there were no tall glasses to serve long cold drinks. Only quibbles but these additions would turn what is a great place to stay into a next to perfect place.

- Jill, July 2021
