Another amazing stay
Friendly, helpful hosts, excellent facilities on site, we love having the pool to ourselves for an hour every day, the buildings are part of history and staying in the old gatehouse was a real treat although the kitchen and bathroom have been modernised the surrounding garden and woods are very traditional. Deer, rabbits and a,black cat all,came to our,door for a visit. Good location for visiting the Broads. Norwich and the coast.Can't wait to return.

Tranquil stay
We loved our time at The Lodge. The huge private sunny garden was amazing and filled with flowers and nature. We loved the relaxed sunny breakfasts outside and walks from the door. The sofas were comfy. The kitchen was new and lovely and the place felt like an olde worlde cottage taking you back to an era of living simply. Nothing was too much trouble for the hosts who were very friendly and quick to respond to a minor bathroom issue. The onsite facilities are marvellous and the hosts very accommodating of us and helping us with cycle routes, beaches, etc. the swimming pool was warm, clean, easy to book and easy to find, very short drive around the corner. The boys loved the darts, pool table and table tennis. This is our second stay (the first at Pond Cottage without the dog). We would definitely return.

My grandchildren think of the farm as their second home.
We have stayed at the farm eight times over the last 15 years, each time we have visited Norfolk from South Carolina. When given the choice, our grandchildren always want to stay at the farm. We have stayed in Swallows, Pond and the Lodge, and love them all. The location is wonderful for visits into Norwich via the Park and Ride at the airport and also easy access by car to the coast and North Norfolk. The Cook family are caring and hospitable hosts, and go out of their way to take care of their guests. We wouldn't stay anywhere else!

The Lodge Review
I live in Spixworth and have always been intrigued by the Lodge, so it was great to actually stay there and finally be able to explore it. It exceeded my expectations as I had no idea how beautiful the garden is and how the woodland wraps around it. The Lodge itself is also totally beautiful inside and out with a great layout. I loved the garden room which is where we spent most of our time. If there is one negative it is very close to a busy road, however, I was pleasantly surprised at how little you could hear it, particularly when sitting in the garden room. I would definitely recommend this to others.

Beautiful countryside location and cottage - fantastic staff.
Fantastic site if you like a rural location but easy access to a Norwich or the coast. Cottage was just what we hoped for with well fitted modern kitchen. Surrounding grounds beautiful. Cottage comfortable, but could do with newer furnishings. The staff went out of their way to be helpful and were so kind. Nothing too much trouble. Recommend highly.

Our 8th stay!
Love visiting the lodge. It's our home from home now . Owners are welcoming, the Lodge is always clean and well kept despite being 150 years old. Love the walks in the woods and the deer that even come into the garden. A peaceful place to stay but very close to the city too. We will be back soon for our 9th visit

Cosy, warm and comfortable
This was my 2nd stay at this property and it is very comfortable with everything you need for a short break. The cottage is cosy and warm and in a good location to get out and about. The hosts are helpful, but leave you to enjoy the peace and quiet (although it is next to a main road, so expect some traffic noise at peak times).

Another enjoyable week at the Lodge
Beautiful surroundings, well kept period property with unexpected extras like a dishwasher, laundry room and efficient heating. Very clean and well kept. Love walking in the woods and waking up to a deer on the garden.

Our lovely lodge
We had a wonderful time at the lodge, it was comfortable and really well stocked with all we needed. Shelagh and the team have everything sorted and are friendly and welcoming. There is plenty to do locally and we took in the races at Great Yarmouth which was a highlight. We plan to return.

Great “home from home” holiday
Delightful cottage, re-visited year on year. Great garden and dog walks in the woods. Spotlessly clean and well appointed. Swimming pool a great bonus, and great beaches to visit,

A great stay In Norfolk
This place suited us down to the ground: the location is near our friends in Norwich, the cottage was clean, comfortable and well-equipped, surrounded by footpaths for dog walks, and the swimming pool was a treat (the booking system meant that it was really private and peaceful). Shelagh was very welcoming and helpful. We’ll definitely be back.

Beautiful and Peaceful Spot
Our stay at the Lodge was absolutely fantastic. The house is equipped with an incredibly spacious and beautiful private yard that is immaculately maintained. The owners were incredibly hospitable and welcoming throughout our stay and went above and beyond to make us feel at home. We had an absolutely wonderful stay and absolutely plan to come back soon!

Enjoyable stay
We stayed for 4 nights at The Lodge, small house, just the right size for us. Beds very comfortable, nice log burner, we had kids so didn't use. Nice walk over to the games barn, great for the kids. Short drive to Norwich with supermarket close by.

Solo Escape
The Lodge was everything that i needed for a short, solo escape. It was very well equipped and was lovely and warm. It is located on quite a busy road, but it might have been worse than usual during my stay due to a nearby road closure. I didn't make use of the other facilities on site but i am sure they would be great for families staying. I will hopefully been making this an annual escape, and would happily stay at the Lodge again.

Stayed at the Lodge to visit family nearby
This is the second time we have stayed at the lodge over Christmas. It is an ideal 2 bed cottage for a family of four with a dog and the owners are very helpful and friendly. We have stayed at most of the cottages at Sprixworth Hall over the years.

Our home from home!
We visit the Spixworth area several times a year to see family who live close by and The Lodge fits our requirements exactly. Its cosy, comfy and warm. Set in a beautiful area with woodlands to walk and yet close to amenities too. we always enjoy our visits. The Lodge has everything we need, comfy beds, plenty of space and a breakfast room that is a pleasure to sit in. We watch the birds, squirrels, rabbits and even a deer once came to visit. The kitchen is well appointed with fridge, freezer, dishwasher and even a washing machine. The owners are always on hand for any queries ( we once got the car stuck in the mud and the staff were very helpful getting us unstuck!}, Totally recommend Spixworth Hall Cottages for visitors to Norwich and Norfolk area.
