  Palm Lodge is in a lovely location and has the potential to be really something.

  However, the lodge has now reached the stage of needing some TLC and renovation. It was very damp even when using the dehumidifier provided. The bedroom and bathroom doors were sticking and unable to close properly. Several of the windows were difficult to open and close due to the affects of the skin of the structure being damp. Even our clothes in the bedroom drawers and wardrobe were feeling damp after a couple of days. There was mildew on the shower head and in the grooves of the shower doors and walls. The bathroom is in desperate need of a regular size sink with proper running hot and cold water (no timer tap for cold / no small side boiler for hot - this gave lukewarm water at best and sometimes there was no pressure and nothing came out - not good when you're wanting to wash your hands after having been to the toilet particularly) Fridge needs looking at - didn't feel like it was holding the temperature and we lost freshly bought food and milk within a couple of days. Lounge area ceiling is in need of repair - looked like it had had a previous leak and with the rain we had we were constantly worried that this was going to happen again with a very obvious visible split in the ceiling. Unfortunately we came away feeling very disappointed and that we'd paid way too much.

  We had a wonderful weekend for our daughter’s 25th birthday.

  The house is beautifully presented with everything you would need, and more, for a very comfortable break. We were very lucky with the weather and got to enjoy the balcony each day. We particularly liked watching the ducks on the pond and the golfers on the adjacent golf course. The kitchen was very well stocked with everything you would need to prepare all sorts of meals. We appreciated the ample seating options for all the family, both inside and outside, which can sometimes be lacking in other holiday homes. There is lots to see and do in the surrounding area. We enjoyed a morning over the road at Redwings meeting the horses and donkeys with a break for lunch at the onsite cafe. We also visited Gorleston and Southwold beaches. Both have an ample parking and lots of options to dine out. Adnams brewery in Southwold is well worth a visit. The Five Bells at Wrentham offers a good menu with a range of options for all dietary requirements. Our daughter says their Sticky Toffee pudding is the best she has tasted. The Barn1 clubhouse onsite was good for evening drinks and serve a good breakfast. Sue the host kept us updated well with the relevant information and was available by phone for any enquiries. We would happily return and would recommend to anyone wishing to visit the area.

  Thankyou so much to Sue for renting out your perfect lodge.

  What a fantastic time we’ve had here! Myself, my partner & two other couples stayed for 3 nights over the New Year’s Eve weekend. We loved every minute of it. Sue has kitted the whole place out brilliantly and you literally couldn’t ask for anything else in there!! The scenery is so beautiful on the lake and my gosh we didn’t want to come home! Sue was a fantastic host, nothing was too much trouble and we barely needed communication as everything was perfect. We are hoping to organise another stay here as we loved it so much! The guys had a great time in the golf course too! We fed and saw the ducks waddling round & everyone we came into contact with on site was lovely, polite and helpful! Not to far from anything at all either!! If you’re debating whether to stay here then please take our review and book your stay! You sure won’t be disappointed!! Once again thankyou Sue for the wonderful stay. We will be in touch soon!

  My wife and I have just returned from a wonderful weeks holiday staying at Palm Lodge.

  Praa sands 14/8/20-21/8/20. Firstly we want to say a big thank you to Andrea for making our stay just perfect, what a lovely welcome a bottle of bucks fizz , scones jam and clotted cornish cream, cornish biscuits and a vase of flowers. Palm lodge surpassed our expectations it has every thing you could've possibly wanted. It's spacious comfortable well equipped kitchen immaculately clean throughout and even has a BBQ and sun loungers on the decking. It was such a wonderful relief to finally get away after months of lockdown and to have a bit of normality in our lives. And palm lodge was just what we needed It is a ideal place to stay for a couple. and is close to the beach and perfect base to explore Cornwalls beautiful beaches quaint fishing villages We highly recommend palm lodge and will certainly be returning again ourselves in the near future.

  We were impressed with the quality of the property, for example the well-equipped kitchen, fluffy towels and gorgeous bedding.

  It felt like a lot of thought had been put into making sure everyone has as good a stay as possible. The photos don't really do justice to some aspects of the property, like the spacious king size bedroom, high ceilings and elegant hallway. We also loved the access to the Common. This isn't mentioned in the property description, but provides a shorter route to the seafront. (Having said that, the location is incredibly central anyway, while also being quiet and tucked away.) My only criticism would be that I'd have appreciated a summer weight duvet. But the property worked brilliantly for the 3 of us and we'd happily stay again. For anyone thinking of booking, don't be put off by the lack of parking. We always managed to park virtually outside, despite visiting in the main school holiday period.
