What our customers say about their holidays

  Carol and Ron are truly fantastic hosts.

  Not only do they have a passion for making our stay wonderful, but they also have a true interest in their area of residence and surroundings. The Retreat, is a wonderfully serene, quiet and central place to stay. 4 acres of well kept gardens, a small pond, pagola, a firepit if that's your thing, swings, a local park, walks by a river etc etc The facilities at The Retreat are excellent, it's clean, well maintained, well equipped with 2 WCs, walk in shower, lovely kitchen area and has literally everything that you may need whilst your here within a short walk of this wonderfulproperty, (or drive if you so wish). Two main supermarkets are an easy 15 minutes stroll away, although you'd never know it, there's peaceful walks around this small village type atmosphere, local shops, places to eat and drink more or less cover it all. The local peoples are pleasant and friendly. It's idealic in so many ways. We have seen monkjack deer, squirrels, hedgehogs, all on site whilst sitting on the porch, lazing and taking our surroundings in what could easily be miles from anywhere. We certainly cannot praise or recommend enough that you stay here if you want to truly enjoy a better lifestyle when your in need of that wind down. Tranquility and peacefulness will certainly be fulfilled. We leave here with some sadness, but also with an eagerness and anticipation for our next stay in March 2022. 100% we will return 2 very minor points to say if you are suffering from a slight disability. The sofa we found quite low for us and the front steps are a tiny bit high to negotiate if you are a sufferer of arthritis or bad backs. These are not in any way faults of property, these are from a personal view as older senior citizens.. DO NOT BE PUT OFF. To cover this we spoke to Carol and Ron and amazingly they have "The Lodge" another of Carol and Ron's excellent facilities, already more geared to our/these needs. So absolutely covering our personal needs for our return here in March 2022 and quite honestly we cannot wait to come back. STAY HERE, YOU WONT REGRET IT, ITS GLORIOUS. Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou

  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.

  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.

  We had a wonderful mini break.

  Hosts were great and on hand if we needed them. The pod was super clean and had everything we needed for a short break. The milk, bubbly and tea and coffee upon arrival was a lovely touch and very welcomed. Surroundings were very peaceful and the guide book of things to do and local information was a great help. We had no issues with flys, but the host had supplied fly traps just incase. We had a super time and plan to return again. The only thing which we would of liked is a tiny sofa instead of the tub chairs or to lower the wooden base at the end of the bed so you can snuggle up to watch the tv when the weather is not at its best! But thats a small thing which we feel would improve the lodge, and it wouldnt stop us from returning. Great relaxing stay.

  I'm a busy person usually, as is my husband but it was his 40th and our wedding anniversary this particular weekend, so I booked this getaway as a surprise for him.

  We agreed early on I wouldnt takr the work laptop and him gis work phone so the we could just ... be. It was perfction, I haven't known peace like that in many years, it was the most beautiful thing to just be. And not worry about work, school, nursery, cleaning and any other needy thigs life has to throw. I had mever been in a Hottub before, it was lovely. Thoroughly enjoyed. We didnt do much walking as I have MS but the views are breathtaking but it was so nice to just. Do. Nothing. I will 100% be back, because I just need more time to do nothing. Its soo peaceful, the teabags were even beautiful!! The dog also loved it, there is absolutely nothing about this little getaway I could possibly criticise. Thank you so much
