Bracken Lodge is a fine place to stay when discovering this area. The lodge was very clean and well presented on arrival with a nice welcome package waiting for us. The layout is tight but very modern and comfortable with sufficient facilities for a short stay. The living area is all in one but was comfortable with good heating if needed, a multi-cushion sofa by the television, and a good kitchen set up and table area for eating. The bathroom is modern and roomy and hot water was never far away. The decor of the whole chalet has been done very well giving a pleasant homely feel.The location is in a quiet somewhat dominant wooded area which was very peaceful and private with other lodges nearby but not too close at all. Local amenities are a short drive away and we recommend The Ship, in Weybourne, as the go to restaurant. We enjoyed our stay here and the dogs loved walks in the woods and chasing squirrels! Thanks to Ann for a great cottage.

An amazing lodge in a beautiful location. The lodge is spotlessly clean and has everything you would need and more.Perfect for long walks in the forest (especially with dogs). Only a few miles from Sheringham but there are several other beaches within short distances. We have been 4 times and have already booked for next year.
