Guests say

Lakeside Lodge in Norwich offers a tranquil setting with beautiful lake views, ideal for fishing and wildlife watching. Guests appreciate the peaceful atmosphere, the welcoming touches upon arrival, and the lodge's proximity to local amenities. While some mention issues with maintenance and noise from nearby kennels, the overall experience is highly regarded for its comfort and natural charm.

Most guests found the lodge to be very clean, with a welcoming atmosphere enhanced by fresh flowers and a welcome pack. However, a few reports of unclean conditions upon arrival slightly affect the score.

The lodge's location is praised for its peacefulness, lake views, and proximity to local shops and pubs. Some guests, however, were disturbed by noise from nearby kennels, which impacts the score.

Guests consistently describe the lodge as cosy and comfortable, with a relaxing environment. The presence of thoughtful extras and the lodge's setting contribute to a high level of comfort.

The facilities, particularly for fishing, are highly rated, though some guests mention limited cupboard space and maintenance issues. The presence of thoughtful amenities like fishing opportunities on the veranda is a plus.

About this property

This wonderful lodge has been hand-built by the owner and offers a tranquil escape, ideal for couples and solo travellers. Situated on the edge of the lake on the owners' beautiful estate, this lodge has spectacular wildlife straight from the door, yet just a few minutes’ walk from the village centre of East Harling. Step up on to the decked area with far reaching views over the lake; this is an ideal spot for enjoying a morning coffee while planning your day, that is if you can tear yourself away from your lodge and it's surroundings! Step in from the decking via the bi-fold doors to reveal a cosy, beautifully presented light and airy open plan living area with everything you could need for your stay.

The kitchen is completed to a high standard, and the bedroom is located to the back of the lodge and has an en-suite shower room. Guests staying at the lodge can enjoy this lovely estate; there is a beautiful riverside picnic area with thatched gazebo alongside the River Thet which runs through the estate, and a one acre lake with specimen fishing is available. The village of East Harling is just a short walk away and has everything you could need for your stay but there is plenty to do both close by and a short drive or cycle away. Many visitors enjoy a visit to Banham Zoo and Thetford Forest is also close by, with excellent off road cycling, wildlife, walking routes and a number of other outdoor activities and events throughout the year.

The historical and vibrant city of Norwich is easily accessible from the lodge and worth a visit with its excellent range of restaurants, shops and bars. Just ten minutes by car is Snetterton motor racing circuit, an absolute must for motorsport fans as it plays host to a number of major sporting events such as the British Touring Car and the British Superbikes Championships. A perfect lodge to relax at but with the advantage of so much to enjoy close by.

The attractive village of East Harling is steeped in history and centres round the old market square and a beautiful 15th century church. East Harling has a village store, Post Office, two pubs,snd a fish and chip shop. East Harling sits close to the borders of Suffolk and enables you to visit the many attractions to be found in both Norfolk and Suffolk.

    . everything was perfect for us...we rebooked while there...and of course you cannot beat Norfolk

  • Lorna

    Caught a few fish which were in fabulous condition, biggest 20lb. We saw deers and a hare, heard one owl. The lodge could do with a good clean, fridge was cracked in several places with a screwed on lever to keep the icebox shut. Had to clean the fridge before we could put our food in as there were crumbs everywhere and something had been spilled ☹️ The owner had a new fridge delivered whilst we were there and stored it on the decking. The oven door needs to be lifted for it to close, curtains missing hooks and the selection of glasses is poor, not a decent wine glass in there
