Fabulous week end break

Another wonderful time in a great location. The new “adult activity barn “ a great addition to the amazing facilities. Thanks so much, Norfolk is a beautiful county and the hospitality at Spixworth Hall cottages very welcoming.

A perfect place to stay!

Perfect for our family holiday - a great location close to Norwich which has something for everyone, a cosy cottage in a peaceful setting in the grounds of the Spixworth Hall estate and a short walk through the wood to all the facilities on offer - the two Games Rooms, the children's play area and.just a little further on to the swimming pool and tennis court! Only one downside - we did not stay long enough!!

Lovely little hideaway

Our family had a wonderful short stay at The Lodge. The cottage is a real Tardis and is very well equipped with everything you need. The owner Sheela was lovely and really helpful and we had a really nice time exploring the grounds. The pool is hidden away but well worth seeking out (you can park right next to it). Will definitely be back.

Loved our stay

The one thing that let the lodge down was it’s poor shower but that has been dealt with in the form of a brand new shower . Although still small it’s nice and clean and new . We love staying at the lodge as we have done for years . And will continue to so .

The Lodge

Staying at the Lodge was perfect for us. It is a lovely property, small but comfortable. We would recommend it to others.

14th visit and I've another one booked!

Having stayed here 14 times I can honestly say it gets better and better. Each visit something new has been upgraded or added . This time it was the heating in the outdoor pool. Great temperature, clean pool and so lovely to be able to book an hour for just our family. The owners go the extra mile to make our stay perfect. Can't wait for our next visit

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,

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!

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).

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.

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

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.

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.

Nice tranquil place

There is nothing I can say bad about this place. A beautiful location. peaceful and well presented. The house has everything that you need for self catering. The location is peaceful, waking up to the sound of birds instead of the noise of the city. This place is highly recommended, I would go back again.

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.

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.

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!

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.
