Amanda

All I can say is perfection lovely lodge had everything you need and some. The smallest details are covered here, welcome pack was a great bonus, the hosts with the most Jon and Mandy are such a lovely couple and went out of their way to find fishing lakes near by. If you haven't stayed here you have missed a true gem

Rosemary

Mandy and Jon are a lovely couple nothing was too much trouble . We really enjoyed staying in the Lodge and didn't want to come home . We would definitely book again if we are going to Norfolk

The Lodge is a clean and comfortable place to stay and in an ideal position for exploring the Broads and Norfolk coastline. We were made very welcome by Jon and Mandy who were great hosts and have a good knowledge of the area giving lots of recommendations of things to see and do. The hot tub was clean and well maintained. Great nearby pubs with good food all reasonably priced. Thank you Jon and Mandy for a great stay. Daryl & Jane Bentham

Lovely cottage, features & facilities excellent hosts.

Lovely property, rather quaint English cottage. Host was great. We had everything we needed and more from the robes and slippers to the well stocked toiletry complimentary basket in the bedroom, the facilities in the kitchen ie, sachets of coffees and various types of Teas. I even baked a Pineapple upside down cake in the oven which came out perfect. Thanks for your hospitality and the details booklet which lists places, shops, restaurants etc. Lastly, the fabulous Hot Tub.. Would recommend.!! Janice and Jay...

We had a fantastic weekend, The Lodge was just what we needed. Jon and Mandy made sure we were comfortable. Would recommend to others. Hot tub was a bonus. Lodge has loads of local info to cater for all.

Had a lovely welcome from Jon and Mandy the showed me how things worked and they were so welcoming, the cottage was so beautiful inside and out really well equipment too, really lovely waking up with cup of tea in conservatory watching the robin and blue tits on bird table was lovely, really enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub too

Jon and Mandy and the kitties were warm and very welcoming they was very helpful ... Jon and Mandy and the kitties were warm and very welcoming they was very helpful and just lovley we have made such fantastic freinds with them nothing was a bother with them , The lodge was spotless and very comfortable it was very homely , the garden and the hot tub was Just superb , what a fantastic place to live it was our best holiday , thank you for the little touches you left in the bedroom and the treats you left for us , we recomend to everyone to stay at the lodge it was just perfect so thank you we cant wait to see you again next year ,we will miss seeing you all x

This property was advertised as pet free,but the terrible smell of urine in the bedroom and bed was unbearable ,the bathroom was even worse ,could not sleep in bedroom and spent the first night of our holiday on the sofa with windows open,when speaking to the owner in the morning after packing our clothes in the car he said he was very sorry and would issue us with a full refund after admitting they had let the previous people to stay in the lodge to be able to have there pet cats stay in the property resulting in such sickening smells,. On returning home after staying there overnight and contacting Sykes holidays the owner changed his mind about refunding the 463 and offered 100 as a goodwill gesture increased to 150 Sykes holidays were of no help at all and pushed us to accept this paltry sum beware of believing the property details shown by Sykes as they say it relies on the owners descriptions ,best to avoid the lodge in coltishall awful people not to be trusted.alan howard

Another enjoyable stay in this very comfortable and well equipped cottage, our 4th or 5th time of staying here. Excellent sleep in the very comfortable bed, spacious shower room and of course the hot tub is the icing on the cake! Jon and Mandy are the perfect hosts, friendly, welcoming and fun without being in your face. The only complaint we have is having to come home! We will definitely be returning again

The holiday cottage was lovely, and very comfortable, just like home. Mandy and Jon were great and accommodating, very nice people. It's a lovely hot tub. We will be booking again for our holidays next year.

Very nice comfortable cottage. The hosts Jon and Mandy are very helpful and friendly. There are some lovely walk around Coltishall and good restaurants. The local shop is stocked with basic food and has a cash point . I can not drive so relied on public transport. There is a regular bus service going to North Walsham or Norwich during the day but not in the evenings. Unfortunately the bus stopped running during my stay due to the bridge being closed for the week and a big thank to Jon for the help to get me from A to B. The cottage is located on a busy road which not safe to walk on but there is a quiet back lane that goes to the river at Coltishall or the bure valley railway. There is lots of wildlife around and walking on a bridleway just a short distance from the cottage and I had delight of a deer walking by me and the next day a fox. I really enjoyed my stay at cottage. The is plenty to do around Coltishall and for those with a car it is well located for the Norfolk Broads and Coast.

A lovely little cottage which I was able to negotiate well due to the fact I am mobility impaired. A little over furnished with sagging sofa in the main room by TV, which made it somewhat difficult for me to easily sit and get up and down, something firmer would have been better. Kitchen facilities good, and our hosts were very friendly and as well as coming to greet us when we arrived left a welcome pack which was lovely. Would well recommend. Good central place for visting NT properties, the beach, nature reserves and even a private garden.

Jon and Mandy were very welcoming,everything was there even a welcome pack including a bottle of wine to enjoy in the hot tub, fabulous! I would certainly recomend the Lodge for a fantastic stay.

Michael

Lovely lodge to stay in everythink you needed in lodge owners very nice and helpful about places to visit and eat at

Louise

We had a really comfortable stay at the Lodge. We just wish we could have stayed longer. Everything we needed was provided plus lots of little extras. The hot tub was a fabulous addition. The lodge is actually very private despite being in the grounds of the owners home and garden. We met the owners who were very welcoming. We would love to return, maybe when the weather is better so we could make use of the pretty outside space. The Lodge is well placed for getting to the Broads, coast and countryside.

Ashleigh

We had an amazing time, it was a lovely little get away. Jon and Mandy were both so welcoming, they explained everything and couldnt have been more helpful. They left us a perfect little hamper of things and put a lot of thought into making sure everything that was needed was at our disposal. The cottage was spotless and cozy. The facilities were perfect for disabled people they even had a shower seat for us, It made our anniversary. There were so many thoughtful things like slippers, dressing gowns. soaps, water by the bed everything you could think of. Thank you both so much for your hospitality we will certainly be back it has become our new get away. Bradley & Ashleigh

We really enjoyed our long weekend break at the lodge. Accommodation was great and very well presented with everything you need for your stay, the hot tub is a great bonus and the hosts made as feel very welcome.

We were looking for a last minute and much needed weekend away and this property caught our eyes. As soon as we booked we had a very informative email from Jon who unfortunately we didnt get to meet as was away. On arrival we were met by the lovely Mandy who made us feel very welcome and showed us everything we needed to know. She had turned on all the heating to make it cosy as was a very cold evening and showed us the hot tub which was all ready to go. The Annex was the most perfect place for us and exactly what we were looking for they have thought of everything you could possibly need and more! We very much enjoyed the complimentary bottle of wine whilst soaking in the amazing and private hot tub in the evening again, was all so perfect flip flops, gowns, towels & fairy lights! What more could you ask for! Thank you both so much for a beautiful weekend and being the perfect hosts. We will definitely return one day x

Our stay at the lodge was lovely. We booked a very last minute stay and Jon was very accommodating. The welcome basket was really appreciated and a lovely touch. We had a lot of our own privacy both in the lodge and hot tub. Will definitely be staying again. Thank you Jon & Mandy.

Samantha

Really genuine and warm welcome. Jon and Mandy went above and beyond with supplies, from a variety of jams and even Marmite, along with tea selection, coffee and decaffeinated coffee. The stay was like a home from home. Was a fantastic stay and we really appreciated every little detail. We were not disturbed by traffic, it was very light at night. All in all a great and relaxing atmosphere. Thank you both for your hospitality.

The accommodation is excellent. The owners have thoughtfully provided guests with the basics necessary to get the holiday off to a flying start and the complimentary bottle of wine was well received. I have no reservations when recommending this property highly. Steve.

We have just returned from a lovely weeks holiday staying in The Lodge Annex. It is a comfortable home from home accommodation with everything we needed for a relaxing holiday. The welcome pack was very generous to start our visit. The annex is set in a lovely garden in the countryside. The owners Jon and Mandy were away but kept in touch to ask if we needed anything which was appreciated. The area is a delight to explore, Norfolk is beautiful. Thank you Jon for making us so welcome.

Andrew

Weve just had a wonderful 5 days at The Lodge. Amanda, the host was lovely and was onhand if we needed her. The Lodge itself was very comfortable and had everything we needed. A much appreciated welcome pack was waiting for us which contained all the essentials. All in all, a lovely relaxing break which we would love to do again.

Lovely place to stay with neighbourly owners. Really appreciated the welcome email.a couple of days beforehand telling us about keys, welcome pack etc. The Annex has everything you could wish for in terms of a home from home, and wel equipped for selfcatering The hot tub is situated to the rear of the owners home but we had exclusive use of it throughout the week and It is sheltered and and can be private. The Annex is well situated for visiting the Broads and the Norfolk coast, as well as Norwich.

I found it very disappointing that the dishwasher was not working when we arrived and was still not working when we left. The property was very nice but the traffic noise was bad especially at night.

Barbara

All holidays are good, it's just that some are better than others, and this week has been one of the best of it's kind. Many thanks to Jon and Mandy for making us feel so welcome, and for providing us with so many 'extras', from the welcome pack and wine, to flipflops and robes for the hot tub, to the use of a barbecue... the list goes on. Many thanks also to the two cats, Mabel and Eric, who also helped to make our stay so enjoyable. We've enjoyed some great days out, but you can't do everything in just a week, so, as many others before us have written We will return! Graham and Barbara Chappell

We really enjoyed the lodge it was very comfortable and cosy, with a beautiful garden to sit and relax in. It was a pleasure to meet Jon and Mandy who were very helpful with lovely places to visit. We would certainly return again in the near future.

Valerie

Very comfortable and well equipped. Excellent location, hot tub was a bonus. Owners were very pleasant and helpful. We did find the road noise at night annoying. But overall very good.

Graham

Great 3 day stay, ideal 2 person getaway, brilliant hot tub.

Had a wonderful time at this lodge. Jon and Mandy were great hosts, even supplying some food and drink. The hot tub is very relaxing after a busy or restful day. Great location. Would recommend.

Hosts were very welcoming. The cottage had everything that was needed even flip flops to walk to the hot tub. We were fortunate and had a sunny week to sit on patio and look at the beautiful garden.

Jon & Mandy were very welcoming, the property had all we needed for a very enjoyable stay, everything was of a high standard both cleanliness and comfort. The hot tub was an added bonus. The cottage is in an ideal spot for local sightseeing and had the bonus of excellent restaurant's in Coltishall so we did not have to go far for good food. We hope to go back either later this year or for the same week next year.

We had a lovely stay at the Lodge, located in a perfect spot for exploring Norfolk and beyond. Seeing the hundreds of seals Horsey Gap was an incredible experience and would not hesitate to recommend a visit there! Jon was the perfect host sending us an email before we got there with everything we needed to know before we arrived which was much appreciated! We have already recommended to family and friends and will certainly return at some point in the future!

Andrew

Lovely owners and property in general. If I had any small issues I think the lack of water pressure in the two sinks would be first, secondly the bathroom sink mirror was awkward. Finally maybe thin out the amount of furnishings in the property although thats probably just my thoughts otherwise a vey nice break at the premises so would highly recommend

The property was beautiful and had a great atmosphere about it. Jon and Mandy made us feel right at home. The lodge is in the perfect location not far from everything. The hot tub is great and a lovely way to relax after a days exploring. I could not fault the lodge, it had everything we needed and more. We will definitely be returning. Not to mention the surprise visits from their cat Eric such a cutie and so friendly. I would recommend the lodge over and over because it was great

Matthew

The Lodge represents a good value way of spending a week exploring Norfolk and being able to come home to enjoy private use a hot tub each day. The hosts provided a helpful welcome pack to get you started both in terms of things to do see but also a few food & drink items toiletries.

A beautiful property and well located. Very cozy and comfortable and within easy reach of amenities and good walks. The owners greeted us and were more than helpful, explaining the operation of a most impressive hot tub!!!! Complementary wine, bread and kitchen essentials were available on arrival. Altogether a perfect break and would certainly return. Many thanks.

Absolutely perfect get away. Kind and friendly greet, very clean and tidy. Here has Absolutely everything you would need, so cosy and private.
