We loved the peaceful setting and the considered driving of the vast majority of drivers around the site. Access was good to all areas of the norfolk & suffok coast.

Area of lodge Peacefulness Golf The front door does not free shut so had to use the rear entrance or leave the front door wide open or locked. No tin opener , sink upstairs plug was jammed but is ok now as we fixed it and also toilet seat needed fixing. Would benefit from tv down stairs.

All kitchen items and utensils spot on. Comfy beds. Easy check in. Hot tub was great. Comfy lounge area upstairs though apart from the Saturday we were sitting out on the lovely terrace. The club house by the golf course does fantastic food and had a great carvery there on the Sunday. Very friendly. Nice pool though needs to be bigger and open a little longer. Even at opening time with only a few in made for a crowded swim. Beckles is a lovely trip and recommend the pub on the way just before the lights at the bridge. Great spot right by the river food looked great. Hope to return for another break. Many Thanks

The whole property was spotless and had everything we needed. We went in November and it was lovely and warm. The hot tub was brilliant. My partner was particularly impressed that the hair dryer had a diffuser. Lovely surroundings and the pool/spa on site was a 30 second walk away. The towels were a little small, we had to go out and buy our own. Also, the frying pans had seen better days. Again, we went out and bought a new one for ourselves.

Nice location, good golf course and friendly staff The house was not very clean, hob was especially dirty and the ensuite bathroom was disgusting. If we had been in a hotel we&#39d have asked to change rooms. The master bedroom : only had 1 opening window as the other one was broken, mattress did not fit the bed frame and there was no wardrobeanywhere to hang any clothes. We had to hang stuff on a washing line, no TV in the master but there was a TV in the second room but with single beds we dis nor want to sleep in there
