Moor farm lodge was a lovely peaceful and very comfortable lodge. We enjoyed the hot tub and Tim provided extra towels very quickly which was extremely helpful. He also checked on us midweek which was very nice. We suggested bath sheets rather than towels and he agreed and would look to upgrade. Fixtures and fittings were all very good quality. The only things we found that Tim could keep an eye on is checking the ovens are clean and some of the crockery and glasses weren't clean, we assumed they had been in the dishwasher then put away by previous guests so Tim wouldn't necessarily know. It wasn't a problem for us as there are plenty of plates and glasses so we just put them back in the dishwasher. The garden was lovely and we enjoyed the donkeys and goats. We had a small dog with us and found two small areas where she could get out (if she wanted) so we made sure she wasn't in the garden on her own. I think larger dogs would be fine. I can give details of the areas if requested to make safer. Again, it really wasn't a problem for us just an observation for the future. The king bed was extremely comfortable. The local fish and chips was definitely worth a visit, delicious! Over all we had a lovely, relaxing break and found the lodge had everything we wanted. We would definitely recommend it and will look to go back and stay again. Thank you Tim for a wonderful stay!

We had a great stay at the lodge. It was spotless on arrival, had brought a food shop with us but there was the essentials there if we hadn’t. Had no issues with the road down to the lodge. Our 3 boys loved waking up seeing the donkeys/goats/cows every morning and the overall location was great for us. We spent most days out exploring the beaches in Norfolk but enjoyed relaxing evenings at the lodge. Would 100% recommend and we would stay again, it was brilliant.
