  We went away for a reset between Christmas and New Year.

  We were looking for a relaxing break with dog walks on the doorstep and close to forests and the coast. We got that and more. Our hosts Carol and Ron have put alot of love and work into this place. The small touches were lovely and made us smile. From the warm welcome on arrival and departure to the chocolates, cheese & biscuits, homemade lemonade to the toiletries, slippers and warm clothing, as well as those essentials you need and sometimes forget. They are on hand to help if you need it but otherwise will not disturb you. There is also a handy pack for the dogs and some treats too. The bed is so comfortable too. We had a great few nights of sleep. There is lots to do on your doorstep as well as the high street within walking distance and a supermarket and petrol station close by. You wouldn't know though as the property is so quiet and you are free to roam the beautiful grounds, all securely closed off so our dogs could go off lead. We visited Brandon Forest, Wells-next-the-sea, Sheringham, Cromer and Felbrigg Hall. We also spent time relaxing in the egg chairs on the veranda with binoculars left for our use watching the local wildlife. We have stayed in lots of Sykes properties and this is one of our favourites. Highly recommended.

  Ty Barddu, what a stunning property and location.

  The property was immaculate throughout and everything had been thought of. There was a lovely welcome tray for us and the dog. We didn’t have particularly good weather during our stay but this did not stop us enjoying the property, walks and nearby towns. The walks listed by the owners were perfect and of different durations. Myself and my arthritic German Shepherd were able to complete the 1 hour walk with plenty to see and the river for him to lay in!!! before returning to a lovely evening on the decking with a few bottles of locally brewed ales. Initial email from the owners a day or two before arrival with directions and other information was great. We had no cause to contact the owners at all while away as everything was just perfect. A truly lovely hideaway for two and a four legged friend with the constant noise in the background of the flowing river. A must for anyone seeking a relaxing break surrounded by nature and not wanting for anything. No problems with phone signal or WiFi. Tv was perfect and we were able to watch a few films on Netflix whilst away. Parking at the property is no problem at all. A big thumbs up to the owners, you have created a gem of a place.

  A lovely stay in a beautifully maintained lodge in great grounds.

  From the moment we walked up the steps to the lodge met by the smell of wood we knew we were in for a treat. Loved the safari theme, and the place was so comfortable. Great to watch the rabbits, squirrels, birds and fallow deer as we sat relaxing outside on the balcony. A warm welcome from the lovely hosts Carol and Ron who were available if needed, were so supportive when we were caring for our dog, but always found the right balance between being at hand and giving us our privacy. Such lovely people. Great location to walk to Brandon station - 20 mins to the cathedral city of Ely. Had planned similar trips to Cambridge and Norwich but needed to stay “on safari” so our dog could rest - couldn’t think of a better place to stay when we needed to stay put. Thank you Carol and Ron for helping ease a stressful situation with our dog needing to rest, and sharing your beautiful property with us. We hope at some stage, we’ll be able to return and enjoy it again, as well as go on the trips we’d planned.

  Stunning place, perfect grounds to be able to walk the dog on site and the owners were lovely, welcoming, friendly and attentive but not interfering.

  Everything you needed there to make your stay great and little welcome treats when you got there. Couldn’t fault it in that way. However, my only issue is the intense plane noise, and I mean intense, as I have a dog with severe noise anxiety, so for me it wouldn’t be somewhere I would return to but that is no reflection on the property or stay. Just not for us. I had no idea it was so close to a RAF site. I do think maybe this should be stated in the advert of the property for people like myself who may have dogs with noise issues. As it did ruin the stay for us and we cut our break short. If you like planes and have no issues with planes noises from 7.30am onwards then I would recommend it.

  The feedback for stay, accuracy, cleanliness, comfort, facilities and maintenance, only reflects our opinion, as much higher scores would have been given by our dog, as this has to be the best ever dog friendly accommodation we have encountered.

  Unlike other dog friendly places, who perhaps only state a dog is welcome, this property showed it, and the welcome given to us was bestowed upon our dog, many times over. Our dog was welcome to roam the 4 acres of grounds, provided with options if needed to jump on chairs or bed, provided with own blankets, toys, water and food bowl, as well as treats, and greeted by the property owners as one of their own. Local walks and shops right on the doorstep were handy, with larger stores and walks, like Thetford Forest, only a few miles away. With the option of sightseeing, or enjoying lazy days, it easily not a case of if we will go back, but when can we go back!
