Mill Lodge, Brisley

Great accommodation. Everything anyone will need and more. Could not fault the accommodation in any way. Very friendly owners who live on site. Would go back at a drop of a hat.

A great location with easy access to tourist spots. Cottage perfect for everyone, especially wheelchair users & dogs. Owners on hand for any issues & extremely helpful. Norfolk does not enjoy good phone or WiFi signals so don't expect easy connections. Overall would thoroughly recommend

The accommodation was excellent. The owners had made some changes and it was even better than we expected. The beds were very comfortable and with ensuite bathrooms no need to make a trek to the main bathroom. The combined lounge dinner is big with plenty of room for 6 people. Dishwasher is very handy. Washing machine and tumble drier means you dont have to take so much clothing. Everything was clean and tidy. And did I mention the garden? Thats very pleasant too with table and chairs for sunny days. Everything we needed was at hand with shopping centres only a 1015 drive away. The owners are friendly and very accommodating. If when we go back to Norfolk we know where were going. I heartily recommend this cottage with its long corridor which is something else!

Would recommend it to anybody looking for a quiet and relaxing break away from the hussle of a town.

Contact from owner very poor never introduced herself all week. No welcome basket. No guest book to record our feelings about the property. No guide to any of the appliances. No heating in the property, bearing in mind we are all in our 70's, rectified after contact with Sykes via email from the owner she only lives less than 100yards from the property. Don't know when the bed linen was last replaced? It is all on its last legs. Have Sykes carried out a recent inspection on the property? We have stayed at many Sykes properties, but this falls way below your usual standards.

We had to cut our stay short as our little dog was taken ill. However in the three days we spent there, we found interesting walks and the property is very spacious. Two very adequate bathrooms and a shower room however no shelves or cupboards in these rooms so nowhere to put things. We brought a small folding table to put our toiletries on. We were cold, mainly because of the french doors in bedrooms and lounge, glass is very cold at night. Everything very clean. The local pub caters for high end customers. Need to drive a few miles to get groceries.

Mill lodge was big with widened doors and fully wheelchair accessible inside . It was very clean on arrival and tea coffee and milk provided to put you on until you got your shopping. Having read previous reviews about a very low settee we were relieved to have a perfectly reasonable height comfort settee . Although nearly an hours drive to the coast for a dog walk it was worth it to come back to the comfort and seclusion of Mill Lodge . The hot tub was great for relaxing . We will definitely book again .

We had a lovely week with adult family and our dog. It is rural so lots of walks. Drive to beach and lots to see in area but knew all this when booked. The pub is quite posh and expensive only had a drink one evening. Lots of room my dog loved running around the secure garden and hallway. Hot tub lovely some manual jets. On the last night it was cloudy. Smart TV wifi ok. Negatives. Things that could be improved Very basic info on wall, no instructions for any of the machines or hot tub. Had to request WiFi code. Photos of lounge and garden are different as furniture is not the same, not as good. Still low for anyone elderly or disabled. Only two fold up chairs in garden and bench seat no BBQ. Wet room could be safer bars to hold, shelves to put items on eg toothbrush etc. I would not want to disabled as still no bars to hold previous comments have not been actioned . Very small sink. Flush random noisy Taps in bathrooms are very difficult to turn on modern style but not great to turn. The grill did not work on oven only found out last day. I didnt want to leave negative comments as we really enjoyed our stay.

Fabulous place and great location, very clean and has everything you could need.

The property and location was fabulous as was the owner of whom made us very welcome. The accommodation is absolutely great for the more able and children as it offers a safe place both within the living area and garden. I had an accident a few years ago and that has regrettably left me limited to getting around unaided. With that I'm mind, whilst l enjoyed the stay, please bear I'm mind that small things matter, such as. Handles within the wet room was not within the shower and the towel rail was near the shower, which meant the towel would get and nothing to hold onto when showering. Being slightly unable to stand balanced alone, a few shelves for things at easy reach like tooth brush, razor etc would have been most helpful. Please note this is not a moan as l would definitely go again, but hopefully it may be of assistance.

We had a lovely time plenty of room in the lodge lovely hot tub nice garden. The only problem we found was the sofas were very low due to being a little old which is a struggle for my parents in their eighties to get in and out of and the WiFi wasnt great

The bungalow was lovely and in a great location. We had a problem with the wet room and one of the other bathrooms as neither had any grab rails and was difficult to get husband with reduced mobility to get up. The garden had a picnic table with fixed benches which non of us could use. The settee was unsuitable for older people as too low and none of us could sit comfortably on it and then couldnt get up! On the plus side, when the tv broke, Gemma went straight out and bought a new one. Also Gemma informed us that they were going to replace the settee. As a carer who works with elderly adults with learning difficulties I am more aware of the needs of the disabled and when voicing my concerns about lack of grab rails to Gemma, she seemed to take it onboard. Gemma was lovely and as I said the bungalow is fantastic.

A very well maintained place to stay. Everything was in place when we arrived. I would have given it five star, but the seating in the main room we found difficult to use as the custions were poor and low. Anybody with walking problems would find it difficult to get up out of the seating. Looks really good on the pictures. It did not spoil our holiday as Gemma the owner was very helpfull if we needed anything. Mill Lodge is in the middle of Norfolk so found travelling to different areas very easy and lovely to visit. We had oxygen bottles delivered to Mill Lodge for my wife, Gemma took them in for us and making sure they were safe to collect. Many thanks Gemma for your help. Overall a very nice place to stay and can recommend this property. Hopefully you find my review helpful

Lovely property, ideal for wheelchair users and inescapable enclosed back garden for dog owners. Gemma, the owner, was very welcoming and helpful with a few issues which didnt spoil our stay in any way. Highly recommend,

Lovely little place to stay, owners very friendly and helpful. A visit to The Brisley Bell is a must! Little tip the TV isnt a smart one, so if you want to watch anything other than the basic TV channels, take a firestick or lap top to plug in for NetflixAmazon etc.

Gemma was very nice, met us on arrival, explained what we needed to know, asked if we needed anything she was there to help. No interference in our holiday We had a wonderful time, great walks with the dogs on the doorstep, central to many beaches, pubs, shops, etc not far. Lovely area, very restful at bungalow, hot tub devine.

We had a lovely stay at Mill Lodge, Gemma and all her family were very welcoming and friendly. We could not believe how big the lodge was and really benefitted on having 3 bathrooms. The dogs loved running around in the enclosed garden area. Everything was lovely and clean and the lodge was well equipped. Would definitely recommend Mill Lodge to other holiday makers.

Great property, had everything we needed. Loved it so much, already booked for next year.

Advertised as wheelchair friendly. Yes it had a ramp to property and wet room.This wet room was dangerous no rails inside shower apart from one at side. Floor slippy nowhere to put toillitries. Furniture in room saggy and too low if I hadnt taken a firm cushion in car I wouldnt have anywhere to sit.Also dining chairs too low. This cottage ideal for families with children and reasonably fit people but should not be advertised as wheelchair friendly.The week we were there surrounding area was like a building site,A wagon arrived at 6 am waking us all up. The friend with us was poorly due to all the stress that faced her

A wonderful week away, mill lodge is a perfect base. Gemma is very welcoming and helpful. All in all a perfect holiday. Well be back

Lovely accessible spacious property. A riserrecliner chair in the lounge area would benefit a wheelchair user. Also a shelf in the ensuite wet room would be handy as we had to put toiletriesmedical aids etc on the floor which was not ideal.

We spent a wonderful week at Mill Lodge where everything was provided for an enjoyable stay. The enclosed garden was excellent for our dog, who also enjoyed her morning and evening walks on the Amazing Green!! It was an ideal base to visit both the coast and also inland attractions. After going out it was lovely to come back and relax in the Hot Tub. Gemma the owner was very nice and friendly when she greeted us. We were very impressed with our holiday at Mill Lodge and while we were there we booked to go back again next year. Thankyou for a great holiday.

This property is absolutely ideal, if like us, one of our party is both elderly and disabled. Ideally, the second nondisabled bedroom needs a King size bed for a better sleeping experience. Overall, Mill Lodge is very well equiped and was an ideal base from which to explore North Norfolk.

We enjoyed our weeks stay . Very accommodating. Clean . Facilities good . Owners very friendly. Couldn't fault it at all in any respect but if I was nitpicking could do with fly screens or something because of the flies and wasps. I suppose its expected cause it's near farmland. We stayed during warm weather and keeping all windows closed is not the preferred option. But the main thing is we enjoyed our stay and would definitely book the Mill Lodge again

This cottage was in a lovely location, and its facilities were excellent. Very easy for access and movement for a wheelchair and on the whole welldesigned to assist people with reduced mobility. My one criticism is with the photographs to help people when making a decision. There were no photographs of any of the three bathroomWet rooms. I feel that any property advertised as suitable for wheelchairs needs to show the bathrooms. Also a floor plan is very useful when gauging space for transferring from a wheelchair to a shower chair or to the toilet. I find I am always concerned until I arrive at a new place, particularly with this aspect of my holiday. Now we are happy with this property we will certainly return in the future.

We had a lovely week in MayJune 2022. The property is ideally located to visit all the villages in the surrounding area and the coast. Wells and Cromer are close by and we had a couple of lovely sunny days so we could make the most of the beach. There are some really pretty villages in the area. The local pub is fantastic with amazing food. We went away during the Queens Platinum Jubilee and there was a fabulous event held on the cricket pitch and everyone was very friendly and made us welcome. There are lots of places nearby to eat and we had some fantastic meals. Most places are dog friendly too so our dog came with us everywhere. The only down side is that I have put on about half a stone! The property is ideal for dog lovers and would be suitable for wheelchair users as it is all on one level. There is a safe enclosed back garden which our dog loved. The wifi is not great which caused a bit of an issue as I had some work commitments. But not a problem if you want to get away from the outside world. The furniture and hot tub are a bit dated but this is not a massive issue. The hot tub makes a bit of a grinding noise and the jets are not very powerful but it still works fine. The beds are comfy and there are 3 bathrooms. There is a washing machine, tumble dryer and iron which are always handy. A car is essential as, apart from the pub and church, there is nothing else in the village. We would definitely recommend staying at this property.

Wed had a great stay, it was a nice area and great to commute to the city or coast when meeting friends. If was clean and the host was both friendly and kind. Great that pets are welcome. The only feedback Id give is a bigger bed in the master bedroom, its personal preference. The bed itself was comfortable but were used to a much bigger bed. Great stay . Would come again

Unfortunately we didnt get to enjoy our full holiday as our children tested positive for Covid on the 2nd day so we were asked to leave. However the lodge was lovely and clean. Possibly not a place I would book with children again as its very remote and a long way from anything but is perfect for a couples or adult break

Had a lovely week at Mill Lodge with my family with my family of 4 and a dog. The large bungalow was very clean with good facilities. It had everything needed for a comfortable and successful holiday. Ideal for anyone with restricted mobility wheelchair friendly. The garden is totally secure and the hot tub was fab! The lovely owners are on hand if there are any issues but respected your privacy. We all enjoyed our stay very much, theres plenty to do within driving distance and a dog friendly upmarket pub across the road. Perfect place for a relaxing break.

Lovely place to stay, everything we needed was in there Mrs Bidewell was most ... Lovely place to stay, everything we needed was in there Mrs Bidewell was most helpful when we had any questions about WiFi , heating etc Would visit again

Lovely setting nice safe garden for the dogs with hot tub. One tiny thing some of the taps very difficult to turn and the shower in the disabled bathroom was very difficult to turn on and off maybe change the thermostatic shower over for a Grohe eurosmart lever shower this would solve the problem. Apart from this tiny problem we thoroughly enjoyed are week here and would recommend it. Ps the host Was very helpful and nothing was a problem .

Having disabled facilities is essential for my husband to travel, and mill lodge has everything we need. The owner Mrs Biden was so friendly and helpful. And well be back next year.

Hosts there when you want them and leave you alone at the same time. Just a little far to the beach around 30 mins. Wasnt a problem for us.

The cottage was perfectly laid out for us. The garden was nice and private and the hot tub was lovely! Highly recommend this cottage. Our host made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed and was a pleasure to communicate with.

Great place to stay, owners really accommodating. Had everything we needed.
