“A great lodge right on the beach.”

Perfect for our dog with dog treats, towels and leads should you need them. Lodge has everything needed for a comfortable stay. Lovely welcome pack, much appreciated. Used the hot tub twice a day, for relaxing after days out. Horsey gap a good trip out to view seals on the beach. Can recommend sunday lunch at the ship in mundesley (very dog friendly). Cromer and the broads also good for days out.

“Location great with view from rooftop terrace.”

Couple of extra utensils would be useful I.e sieve, additional serving spoons. This I doesn’t distract from what a great lodge this was. Would return anytime.

“As a family of 4 (my mother who’s 80 & 21yr old) we stayed here over Christmas and wasn’t disappointed!”

On an arrival was greeted by Julie to a beautiful decorated lodge feeling very Christmassy, cosy and a very thoughtful hamper which was lovely-especially the Bubbles

“We cannot thanks Julie & Mike enough, this holiday home is top spec in an amazing area.”

It has everything you will need and they were on hand to help with any issues we had. As it was our first proper holiday with our baby we were slightly anxious but it was superb!

“Life’s a beach is a gorgeous property and an idyllic location, we were left a lovely welcome pack on arrival even with a bottle of Prosecco in the fridge cold and ready to go which just shows the thought gone in to guests of this accommodation.”

The site itself is a great location with a short stride to the beach and we had a brilliant holiday! Will certainly be back.

“The property was lovely and comfortable and well equipped, however it was tricky to find using satnav plus the lodge has a number not a name which doesn’t match the booking so again had to go by the photos to find the right one.”

On arrival the internet and TV didn’t work properly but this was resolved very quickly by the owners the following day. Then the interruptions started - to check the hot tub, to read the electric meter and to fix an outside tap. I appreciate these things have to be done but couldn’t they wait until change over day? There is also a rather rude ‘camp commandant’ who’s role only seems to be to tell you about the rules that do not appear in any of the information in the lodge eg keep dogs on a lead and to watch your every move. Not appreciated.

“Couldn’t fault this lovely lodge.”

Perfectly placed for all the places we wanted to visit. Lovely and clean and with just about everything you could think of. Watching the weather roll around and the evening set in whilst in the hot tub after a long day of walks with the dog was a perfect way to unwind and with the lovely little welcome basket too. It’s always a little stressful booking places with a dog but we shouldn’t have worried especially as the outside of the lodge was secure with a great little gate and we loved the dog friendly touches - our spaniel particularly loved the views from up top. All in all it was just what we needed.

- Debbie, September 2025

Thank you so very much for taking the time write such a lovely review, it warms the cockles of my ❤️. As we are very new to the holiday lodge business it helps us to know we are doing it right. It wasn’t your partner that was singing and entertaining the other holiday makers while you were in the hot tub was it? The word was everyone enjoyed it. Britain’s Got Talent has nothing on you We love to know that the doggies have a good time on the beach too. Thank you for looking after our lodge. Hope to see you again Property Owner

“Fabulous lodge in a great location.”

Well equipped & very clean. I stayed here with my dog & my mum who has limited mobility. We were very comfortable here for the week & the hot tub was an added bonus. We will be returning next year.

- Lindsey, August 2025

Hi Lindsey and mum. Thank you for taking time to give us such a wonderful review. It really helps us to perfect our knowledge of lodge letting. I know you are a very busy lady. It was so lovely to meet you, your mum and your beautiful doggie. As you were only the second set of guests we were quite nervous that we had it right. It would be wonderful to see you again, anytime xx Thank you again, say hello to your mum and a good belly rub for the doggie xx Property Owner
