We have had a lovely stay at Herons view.The lodge is well equipped with everything you will need which is nice to see as there’s always something you need. Clean and comfortable, sofa is very comfortable indeed. I will say the shower was a bit temperamental but the owner has since sorted that out with no problem. I was not a massive fan of the ornaments personally but that is just me, and there is quite a lot of it knocking about, but each to their own taste and I spent most of my time on the wonderful decking and jetty either fishing or watching the various bird life and boats. Not stupidly busy here on the river either so it is peaceful especially in the early evening onwards. You can see the neighbours to the right hand side and speaking to them briefly very nice friendly people. Nobody wants 6ft fence along here else you’d see nothing of the lovely view. Great having the row boat and the kayak included to use. It’s a great location with the train station so nearby for links to Norwich and Great Yarmouth. Fishing was good for Roach and Rudd, Bream showed up on the last morning in numbers but I didn’t want a smelly net to drive home so I left them for next time. One very friendly duck comes right up to the door of the lodge. The local pub White Heron was very nice and has a pool table and dartboard too. Overall a lovely stay, thanks.
