Excellent

We were a little disappointed as we weren’t overlooking river which we obviously misread. The beds were excellent and we enjoyed the quietness of the place. Our dog loved the garden. Nick the owner is brilliant and dealt with a shower problem promptly and was available to ask questions. Would definitely recommend

Très bon séjour au calme

We were really happy with the accommodation which was clean, spacious, modern and cozy. The kitchen was perfectly equipped, the shower big and powerful, the beds very comfortable. A rabbit, a robin and a squirrel came to say hello in the backyard. From there, the drive to Norwich city centre is really easy and quick. Driving to Cromer takes about 1hr. We strongly recommend this holiday rental.

Great Location

The location of this property was beautiful. Watching the wildlife and boats on the river provided us with constant entertainment. Nick, the host, was prompt with his responses when we contacted him. The property was clean, the location excellent and the pub right next door a real bonus! Only negative issue was the internet, it wasn't always as reliable as it could have been. I would recommend this as a place to stay and I would happily stay here again.

Primary Location

Well situated accommodation, well layed out spacious bedrooms and lounge area. Would have had 5 stars but for fact was not newly comverted and garden in need of attention.Inside was clean and tidy but note it is dog friendly and wear and damage noted to settee curtains .We take dog covers and bedding so no concerns. Could have done with few basics, soaps, cleaning cloths etc maybe tea bags and condiments. Lots to do and ideally located, pub next door has excellent food but ois let down by bruscness of staff and manager and the wait for food was not good. However the next nearest pub The Ferry House has excellent food with a very cheerfull atomosphere . Would definitely like to stay there again.

Relaxing Easter break

We had a wonderful Easter holiday at this lovely converted barn. Clean, comfortable and in a fantastic setting next to the water. Very nice pub/ restaurant next door with our own private gate to enter. Enjoyable to sit out in the morning or evening watching the variety of boats passing by. Would recommend.

Stunning barn in wonderful location

Very easy to use website. I have friends who had stayed at the property and recommended it. Wonderful location. Enclosed garden which was perfect for my dog. Accommodation a bit tired and needs attention (curtains and sofa very worn) but certainly did not detract from the pleasure of staying there. Very long way to the nearest shop so make sure provisions are taken.

Relaxing dog friendly stay.

The lodge is well laid out, well equipped, and light and airy. Everywhere was clean and in spite of having a pub next door, it was very peaceful, even at the weekend. We ate at the pub and had a couple of meals on our terrace, overlooking the river. Probably not the property for heavy internet usage, but we found it adequate. All in all, a great stay.

Not disappointed!

Overall it was a good holiday. Could be improved by a little more attention to detail in the maintenance of the property/ground.. The location and access to surrounding area was great with plenty of places to visit and the restaurant/bar made it easy to get a meal in the evening

A week by the river

The property was clean, well furnished and had everything needed for a comfortable stay. We spent a lot of time on the decked area reading and watching boats, ducks and the world go by. The pub next door serves excellent food and the staff are all friendly and efficient.

Lovely location but lacks on cleanliness

Lovely location but the property was unclean The dishwasher was the worst I have ever seen and I had to clean it from top to bottom. the cutlery , floors, and oven needed cleaning before we could unpack . The owner says a cleaner goes in but obviously she does not do a very good job. Big hole in back of sofa and the hoover was so clogged up I could not get it all out of the filter so had to ask the owner to come and do it . I was too embarrassed to say I thought the place was in need of a good clean but really should not need to if I was been honest. . 3 logs for fire ,no fire lighters and 2 pieces of wood to try and light it with. Great location if you have a boat ,could be very noisy in the summer with jet skiing and the pub outdoor seating backing onto the garden. The road is right outside kitchen doors and lots of cars seem to drive up and down could also be a problem on a hot sunny day. Gastro pub next door fab food but expensive Cleanliness let this booking down big time and it drives me nuts when you are supposed to ring and tell the owner its unclean this should not be a issue we should have to face.

Peaceful location in a comfortable property

The property was very comfortable with everything we needed provided. Beds and sofa very comfortable and for two people the property is very spacious! The location is very quiet (in November at least!) and the gastro pub next door serves excellent food.

Just perfect in every way

We had a fantastic week at the lodge, the lodge is extremely spacious for four adults and two dogs , the lodge was equipped with everything you could possibly need including logs for the log burner, was very surprised by a previous comment about not having basic essentials like salt ! Apart from arriving to a full grocery shop is logs , washing powder , dishwasher tablets , black bin liners a recycling bin and general waste bin every pot pan dish plate knife folk and bottle opener oh and not forgetting ice in the freezer ready for your gin ( not included 😂) not enough !! It had everything needed apart from food . Don’t worry if you don’t have dogs the house is wooden floored throughout so very hygienic. The location was also perfect with a view to die for and walks left and right of the lodge in a very quiet location. 15 minute drive from our favourite city Norwich and a pub next door that had fantastic food for a treat on two occasions. So with the fab lodge , and location we will be booking again thanks Nick

Lovely location

Lovely converted building, modern design open plan, comfortable and good heating system. Set in a quiet lane, just used as access to the next door pub/restaurant and handful of properties, close to the river bank. Great raised decking area to side of property to watch boats go by. Pub next door has small number of mooring spaces and river bank deck area but was not at all noisy or any disturbance when we stayed in october. Would recommend the Sunday roast (lovely) but do book - it was packed with diners so we were glad we booked! Overall very pleasant stay in quiet location.

Comfortable, quiet, well-located - and what a view!

Don't be put off by the fact that the listing has more photos of the outside than of the property itself. The view across teh Yare from the kitchen-diner deserves it. The property is a really skilful conversion of an outbuilding that achieves an amazingly spacious feel in a small footprint. Two good size doubles, a big bathroom with walk in shower, and a kitchen/diner/living room with wood burner. And there's a raised deck overlooking the river Yare and fields beyond. The house is down a single track road, so feels remote, but it's only 15 minutes from the centre of Norwich. There's a gastropub next door but we were never bothered by noise. The air source heat pump coped well with chilly autumn nights once we'd let the fire go out. The decor is more show-home than quirky country cottage, but nothing wrong with that. Definitely recommended as a base for exploring Norfolk - or just sitting and watching the river.

Absolutely great location !! Would have been helpful to know that there is a pub next door

Loved location and the property altho a few niggles re lack of kitchenware and no hand towels . Bathroom lacked shelf and storage space . Beds v comfortable. In other properties I have always found basic items like salt , pepper , washing up liquid , soap, waste bags were supplied but I guess Covid might have something to do with this…. Little/ no storage space for foodstuffs . Overall , was v v happy despite the aforementioned

Relaxing break

Had a peaceful and relaxing time here in August this year. You’re far enough away from everything to feel that you’re deep in the country side but you’re only 10 to 15 minutes from the centre of Norwich and half an hour from the coast.

Wonderful location out weighed any other issues

Great property, comfortable, brilliant location Nick was very helpful re setting the TV and sending postcode etc originally However, i rang for directions, key codes etc two days before as we had received no news and was told details would be sent as there was plenty of time! Fortunately Nick helped us. There was no kitchen towel, dishcloth, tea towel, and basic items like that that we had to purchase However as inconvenient as this was, it was surpassed by the stunning location and comfortable home Thank you
