The Lodge

We have stayed in a good numbers of Sykes cottages but this was the best clean and very well equipped.

We would recommend to anyone With Perfect hosts .

This is a wonderful cottage in a beautiful location.

It is generously large and homely for two people. The owners have given so much thought to the decor and the extra touches in order to make guests feel at home. The wet room was fantastic and everywhere was very clean and very comfortable. We would recommend this cottage absolutely.

Jon and Mandy were the perfect hosts the accommodation is tidy and well equiped with everthing needed for a short break, sitting in the conservatory overlooking the owners garden was a delight, nice to recieve a welcome pack on arrival.

A really pretty cozy lodge perfect for our week away almost everything we needed and a beautiful view from the snug/conservatory watching the wild birds squirrels and the two house cats spotlessly clean very welcoming The welcome pack was a nice touch.

After a long journey we would definitely consider coming back and recommend this to any couple any time of year.

This is a lovely cosy place to spend a holiday.

The hosts are very friendly and professional and will make sure that your every need is catered for. The cottage is situated in a great location giving easy access to the Broads, the coast and the city with lots of lovely countryside in between. The area also has lots of good pubs serving quality food. I can highly recommend this cottage.

Great lodge .

very very comfortable The host jon was very helpful and will definitely stay again The hottub was really good and very private A good base to explore the broads and the coast Just a very relaxing hassle free stay

It was a lovely little holiday cottage, very well equipped with everything you could need and it was very clean.

It was just right for a little holiday/break.

All I can say is "perfection" lovely lodge had everything you need and some.

The smallest details are covered here, welcome pack was a great bonus, the hosts with the most Jon and Mandy are such a lovely couple and went out of their way to find fishing lakes near by. If you haven't stayed here you have missed a true gem

The Lodge is a clean and comfortable place to stay and in an ideal position for exploring the Broads and Norfolk coastline.

We were made very welcome by Jon and Mandy who were great hosts and have a good knowledge of the area giving lots of recommendations of things to see and do. The hot tub was clean and well maintained. Great nearby pubs with good food all reasonably priced. Thank you Jon and Mandy for a great stay. Daryl & Jane Bentham

Mandy and Jon are a lovely couple nothing was too much trouble .

We really enjoyed staying in the Lodge and didn't want to come home . We would definitely book again if we are going to Norfolk

Lovely cottage, features & facilities; excellent hosts.

Lovely property, rather quaint English cottage.

Host was great. We had everything we needed and more from the robes and slippers to the well stocked toiletry complimentary basket in the bedroom, the facilities in the kitchen ie, sachets of coffees and various types of Teas. I even baked a Pineapple upside down cake in the oven which came out perfect. Thanks for your hospitality and the details booklet which lists places, shops, restaurants etc. Lastly, the fabulous Hot Tub.. Would recommend.!! Janice and Jay...

We had a fantastic weekend, The Lodge was just what we needed.

Jon and Mandy made sure we were comfortable. Would recommend to others. Hot tub was a bonus. Lodge has loads of local info to cater for all.

Had a lovely welcome from Jon and Mandy the showed me how things worked and they were so welcoming, the cottage was so beautiful inside and out really well equipment too, really lovely waking up with cup of tea in conservatory watching the robin and blue tits on bird table was lovely, really enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub too

Jon and Mandy and the kitties were warm and very welcoming they was very helpful and just lovley we have made such fantastic freinds with them nothing was a bother with them , The lodge was spotless and very comfortable it was very homely , the garden and the hot tub was Just superb , what a fantastic place to live it was our best holiday , thank you for the little touches you left in the bedroom and the treats you left for us , we recomend to everyone to stay at the lodge it was just perfect so thank you we can’t wait to see you again next year ,we will miss seeing you all x

This property was advertised as pet free,but the terrible smell of urine in the bedroom and bed was unbearable ,the bathroom was even worse ,could not sleep in bedroom and spent the first night of our holiday on the sofa with windows open,when speaking to the owner in the morning after packing our clothes in the car he said he was very sorry and would issue us with a full refund after admitting they had let the previous people to stay in the lodge to be able to have there pet cats stay in the property resulting in such sickening smells,.

On returning home after staying there overnight and contacting Sykes holidays the owner changed his mind about refunding the £463 and offered £100 as a goodwill gesture increased to £150 Sykes holidays were of no help at all and pushed us to accept this paltry sum beware of believing the property details shown by Sykes as they say it relies on the owners descriptions ,best to avoid the lodge in coltishall awful people not to be trusted.alan howard

We stayed here foe our honeymoon, it was lovely, the owners were lovely and welcoming, the accommodation had everything we needed and more.

The hotub was amazing. The family cat lane into see us daily. The accommodation is not to far from lovely towns and attractions, would defo recommend

Another enjoyable stay in this very comfortable and well equipped cottage, our 4th or 5th time of staying here.

Excellent sleep in the very comfortable bed, spacious shower room and of course the hot tub is the icing on the cake! Jon and Mandy are the perfect hosts, friendly, welcoming and fun without being "in your face". The only complaint we have is having to come home! We will definitely be returning again

The holiday cottage was lovely, and very comfortable, just like home.

Mandy and Jon were great and accommodating, very nice people. It's a lovely hot tub. We will be booking again for our holidays next year.

Very nice comfortable cottage.

The hosts Jon and Mandy are very helpful and friendly. There are some lovely walk around Coltishall and good restaurants. The local shop is stocked with basic food and has a cash point . I can not drive so relied on public transport. There is a regular bus service going to North Walsham or Norwich during the day but not in the evenings. Unfortunately the bus stopped running during my stay due to the bridge being closed for the week and a big thank to Jon for the help to get me from A to B. The cottage is located on a busy road which not safe to walk on but there is a quiet back lane that goes to the river at Coltishall or the bure valley railway. There is lots of wildlife around and walking on a bridleway just a short distance from the cottage and I had delight of a deer walking by me and the next day a fox. I really enjoyed my stay at cottage. The is plenty to do around Coltishall and for those with a car it is well located for the Norfolk Broads and Coast.

A lovely little cottage which I was able to negotiate well (due to the fact I am mobility impaired).

A little over furnished with sagging sofa in the main room by TV, which made it somewhat difficult for me to easily sit and get up and down, something firmer would have been better. Kitchen facilities good, and our hosts were very friendly and as well as coming to greet us when we arrived left a welcome pack which was lovely. Would well recommend. Good central place for visting NT properties, the beach, nature reserves and even a private garden.

Jon and Mandy were very welcoming,everything was there even a welcome pack including a bottle of wine to enjoy in the hot tub, fabulous!

I would certainly recomend the Lodge for a fantastic stay.

lovely lodge to stay in everythink you needed in lodge owners very nice and helpful about places to visit and eat at

We really enjoyed our long weekend break at the lodge.

Accommodation was great and very well presented with everything you need for your stay, the hot tub is a great bonus and the hosts made as feel very welcome.

We had a really comfortable stay at the Lodge.

We just wish we could have stayed longer. Everything we needed was provided plus lots of little extras. The hot tub was a fabulous addition. The lodge is actually very private despite being in the grounds of the owners home and garden. We met the owners who were very welcoming. We would love to return, maybe when the weather is better so we could make use of the pretty outside space. The Lodge is well placed for getting to the Broads, coast and countryside.

We had an amazing time, it was a lovely little get away.

Jon and Mandy were both so welcoming, they explained everything and couldn’t have been more helpful. They left us a perfect little hamper of things and put a lot of thought into making sure everything that was needed was at our disposal. The cottage was spotless and cozy. The facilities were perfect for disabled people they even had a shower seat for us, It made our anniversary. There were so many thoughtful things like slippers, dressing gowns. soaps, water by the bed everything you could think of. Thank you both so much for your hospitality we will certainly be back it has become our new get away. Bradley & Ashleigh

We were looking for a last minute and much needed weekend away and this property caught our eyes.

As soon as we booked we had a very informative email from Jon (who unfortunately we didn’t get to meet as was away). On arrival we were met by the lovely Mandy who made us feel very welcome and showed us everything we needed to know. She had turned on all the heating to make it cosy as was a very cold evening and showed us the hot tub which was all ready to go. The Annex was the most perfect place for us and exactly what we were looking for; they have thought of everything you could possibly need and more! We very much enjoyed the complimentary bottle of wine whilst soaking in the amazing and private hot tub in the evening; again, was all so perfect - flip flops, gowns, towels & fairy lights! What more could you ask for! Thank you both so much for a beautiful weekend and being the perfect hosts. We will definitely return one day x

Our stay at the lodge was lovely.

We booked a very last minute stay and Jon was very accommodating. The welcome basket was really appreciated and a lovely touch. We had a lot of our own privacy both in the lodge and hot tub. Will definitely be staying again. Thank you Jon & Mandy.

Really genuine and warm welcome.

Jon and Mandy went above and beyond with supplies, from a variety of jams and even Marmite, along with tea selection, coffee and decaffeinated coffee. The stay was like a home from home. Was a fantastic stay and we really appreciated every little detail. We were not disturbed by traffic, it was very light at night. All in all a great and relaxing atmosphere. Thank you both for your hospitality.

The accommodation is excellent.

The owners have thoughtfully provided guests with the basics necessary to get the holiday off to a flying start and the complimentary bottle of wine was well received. I have no reservations when recommending this property highly. Steve.

We have just returned from a lovely weeks holiday staying in The Lodge Annex.

It is a comfortable home from home accommodation with everything we needed for a relaxing holiday. The welcome pack was very generous to start our visit. The annex is set in a lovely garden in the countryside. The owners Jon and Mandy were away but kept in touch to ask if we needed anything which was appreciated. The area is a delight to explore, Norfolk is beautiful. Thank you Jon for making us so welcome.

We’ve just had a wonderful 5 days at The Lodge.

Amanda, the host was lovely and was on-hand if we needed her. The Lodge itself was very comfortable and had everything we needed. A much appreciated welcome pack was waiting for us which contained all the essentials. All in all, a lovely relaxing break which we would love to do again.

Lovely place to stay with neighbourly owners.

Really appreciated the welcome email.a couple of days beforehand telling us about keys, welcome pack etc. The Annex has everything you could wish for in terms of a home from home, and wel equipped for self-catering The hot tub is situated to the rear of the owners home but we had exclusive use of it throughout the week and It is sheltered and and can be private. The Annex is well situated for visiting the Broads and the Norfolk coast, as well as Norwich.

I found it very disappointing that the dishwasher was not working when we arrived and was still not working when we left.

The property was very nice but the traffic noise was bad especially at night.

All holidays are good, it's just that some are better than others, and this week has been one of the best of it's kind.

Many thanks to Jon and Mandy for making us feel so welcome, and for providing us with so many 'extras', from the welcome pack and wine, to flip-flops and robes for the hot tub, to the use of a barbecue... the list goes on. Many thanks also to the two cats, Mabel and Eric, who also helped to make our stay so enjoyable. We've enjoyed some great days out, but you can't do everything in just a week, so, as many others before us have written - We will return! Graham and Barbara Chappell

Very comfortable and well equipped.

Excellent location, hot tub was a bonus. Owners were very pleasant and helpful. We did find the road noise at night annoying. But overall very good.

We really enjoyed the lodge it was very comfortable and cosy, with a beautiful garden to sit and relax in.

It was a pleasure to meet Jon and Mandy who were very helpful with lovely places to visit. We would certainly return again in the near future.

Great 3 day stay, ideal 2 person getaway, brilliant hot tub.

Had a wonderful time at this lodge.

Jon and Mandy were great hosts, even supplying some food and drink. The hot tub is very relaxing after a busy (or restful) day. Great location. Would recommend.

Hosts were very welcoming.

The cottage had everything that was needed even flip flops to walk to the hot tub. We were fortunate and had a sunny week to sit on patio and look at the beautiful garden.

Lovely owners and property in general.

If I had any small issues I think the lack of water pressure in the two sinks would be first, secondly the bathroom sink/ mirror was awkward. Finally maybe thin out the amount of furnishings in the property although that’s probably just my thoughts otherwise a vey nice break at the premises so would highly recommend

Jon & Mandy were very welcoming, the property had all we needed for a very enjoyable stay, everything was of a high standard both cleanliness and comfort.

The hot tub was an added bonus. The cottage is in an ideal spot for local sightseeing and had the bonus of excellent restaurant's in Coltishall so we did not have to go far for good food. We hope to go back either later this year or for the same week next year.

We had a lovely stay at the Lodge, located in a perfect spot for exploring Norfolk and beyond.

Seeing the hundreds of seals @ Horsey Gap was an incredible experience and would not hesitate to recommend a visit there! Jon was the perfect host sending us an email before we got there with everything we needed to know before we arrived which was much appreciated! We have already recommended to family and friends and will certainly return at some point in the future!

It might be worth getting a brighter light in the bathroom as it was very hard to use the bathroom at night

The property was beautiful and had a great atmosphere about it.

Jon and Mandy made us feel right at home. The lodge is in the perfect location not far from everything. The hot tub is great and a lovely way to relax after a days exploring. I could not fault the lodge, it had everything we needed and more. We will definitely be returning. Not to mention the surprise visits from their cat (Eric) such a cutie and so friendly. I would recommend the lodge over and over because it was great

The Lodge represents a good value way of spending a week exploring Norfolk and being able to come home to enjoy private use a hot tub each day.

The hosts provided a helpful welcome pack to get you started both in terms of things to do / see but also a few food & drink items + toiletries.

A beautiful property and well located.

Very cozy and comfortable and within easy reach of amenities and good walks. The owners greeted us and were more than helpful, explaining the operation of a most impressive hot tub!!!! Complementary wine, bread and kitchen essentials were available on arrival. Altogether a perfect break and would certainly return. Many thanks.

Absolutely perfect get away.

Kind and friendly greet, very clean and tidy. Here has Absolutely everything you would need, so cosy and private.

Stunning property that offered everything we needed.

Very comfortable bed. It is close to a busy road but it really wasn’t a problem. The owners are lovely and welcoming. Nothing was too much trouble. The hot tub was a very welcome extra and a lovely way to end the day. We wouldn’t hesitate in booking again.

We were most impressed with the Lodge.

A really nice place and nice people . Would recommend it to anyone .

Made to feel very welcome on arrival the lodge very well presented and comfortable enjoyed our stay

Very clean well equipped accomodation.

Friendly, welcoming people. We would stay there again. Totally recommended.

Warm welcome given.

Everything we needed for a comfortable stay was provided in the annex. Easy access to places of interest/places to visit in Norfolk. Lovely garden setting, with use of hot tub available.

This was our third visit in as many years and the Annex has lost none of its appeal.

Everything was great, the cottage, the location, the wonderfully friendly hosts/owners and even the weather. We had a fantastic week, so much to do nearby so travelling was not a big deal, plenty of shops, pubs and restaurants. We also had time for some relaxation and had many cream teas in the garden of the Annex, thanks largely to the wonderful sponge cake that met us on arrival. We will definitely be back.

Well equipped.

LOvely view from conservatory . Great hosts.

The cottage was easy to find and the welcome by the owners was great.

We have been using cottages for years and this was one of the best.

John and many are the perfect hosts nothing is to much trouble to them probably one of the reasons we stayed here numerous times and will be going back again

Beautiful garden available to use.

Hosts helpful but discreet. Hot-tub a pleasant bonus. Car necessary for this location, but good base for exploring Norfolk Broads & coastline.

We loved this cottage.

Very clean, home from home, all you need provided, comfy bed, lovely wet room and great hot tub. Owners are very nice but not intrusive and they gave us a great welcome pack including a bottle of wine. The garden is lovely, private parking and the location is central to Cromer and Yarmouth alike. Very close to the Broads. Thank you

Excellent comfortable cottage in great location and ideal for exploring north Norfolk.

Very close to the broads and not far from the beaches. Lovely hosts in Jon and Mandy

Arrived after an arduous journey, Jon made us very welcome and showed us around the property explaining all we needed to know.

A welcome pack was much appreciated. Both Jon and Mandy were very helpful and the cottage was very clean and well appointed with everything needed for a restful stay with views over their lovely garden. Thank you both for a very pleasant stay. Trevor and Pat.

Gem of a cottage.

Hot tub a bonus. Great base for exploring area. Jon and Mandy, were very friendly and welcoming hosts. Will definitely be looking into booking next year.

When we first arrived, it felt like home.

The welcome pack was a real treat. The hot tub was fabulous. It was quiet place to unwind. The hosts were very friendly and helpful. I would go back again.

Was pleasantly surprised on arrival such a lovely place and Jon was very helpful.

Very much enjoyed our stay very relaxing and the hot tub was amazing, will definitely go back.

Excellent contact with Jon, travel directions including photos, a warm welcome on arrival, checked with us after first night's stay, that we were happy with the accommodation.

The Lodge had everything we required for our holiday. Centrally located for exploring Norfolk.

We loved the lodge it was so cozy, the hot tub was great, being non drivers was a bit of a chore but once we had found the bus times stops all was good, welcome pack was a lovely touch owners were away on holiday but their daughter was on call and helpful, defiantly would go back

Had a brilliant few days.

Host Jon was great. The lodge had all we needed and a lovely welcome pack. Lots towels and also robes to use for hot tub. The hot tub was fabulous. Highly recommend this property.

Lovely homely feel, clean and nice touch with the welcome pack of food and wine.

The hot tub was amazing and the lodge was in the perfect location to explore Norfolk, would definitely recommend

Lovely and cosy - friendly hosts with lots of essential extras included with a fab welcome pack.

Hot tub was used everyday and thoroughly enjoyed. Will be going back without a doubt.

Property owner extremely friendly and helpful.

The property was well kept, everything you could wish for was on hand. Extremely comfortable even though the weather was very cold. Such a relaxing holiday, will definitely be back. Close to all amenities and a great base to explore from.

Very friendly people, couldn't ask for a better accommodation, will definitely go again.

Amazing holiday.

The Lodge was lovely, the hosts very friendly and helpful........ And the weather was perfect

Lovely accommodation, well equipped and very clean.

Hosts were very friendly and helpful...Lovely to chat to.

The lodge is a lovely, well equipped cottage.

It is perfect for couples. The owners are friendly, helpful and unobtrusive. The cottage is set in the beautiful Norfolk village of Sco Ruston, next to the Broadland village of Coltishall, which makes it ideal base for seeing the best that Norfolk offers visitors, from the busy Wroxham, the beautiful Norfolk Broads to the delightful seaside towns of Sheringham and Cromer or the lively Gt Yarmouth.

The Lodge was above our expectations, everything we needed to make our stay enjoyable was provided.

The host were very friendly and helpful and went out of their way to make our stay comfortable and relaxing

Friendly owner and comfortable lodge.

Bed very comfy. There is some road noise but we didn't find that a problem. Hot tub lovely and great touch was the towels, robes and flip flops the owner supplied. Good location with easy access to the broads and the north coast.

Just what we were looking for!

Peace, comfort and totally relaxing!

Just what we wanted, lovely, relaxing, most enjoyable

This was a beautiful little cottage , very well equipped and perfect for a relaxing getaway.

The owners were lovely and very helpful with local knowledge. The hot tub was amazing and certainly the icing on the cake . Would definitely visit again !

The Lodge is a nice little cottage, with everything that you need.

It may be a little small inside, but you can still stay happily. The one thing we were not sure about is the road noise, as you are only about 20 yards from what is quite a busy road, even at night, and with the windows open, can be loud. The owners are very nice, and the arrival package they provide is very good. An ideal place for exploring the broads, and the town of Wroxham, where you can hire boats is only about 15 minutes away.

The Lodge is a lovely gem, small and compact with one of the best welcome packs we have had over the years of holiday cottages we have been to.

Excellent hosts who sort out any minor problems you may come up against but are not intrusive. We highly recommend this property.

Would really recommend this Lodge & will definitely be going back.

Jon & Mandy were great hosts especially the bottle of wine, bread, milk, butter & fruit they provided as our welcome pack. The hot tub was amazing after a long day out at the broads. Most of all was the tranquility & the value for money.

After missing two holidays abroad that had to be cancelled due to the pandemic we were more than ready for a nice week away.

This was a really nice little cottage which was actually larger inside than it initially appeared. Lovely gardens, plenty of space to relax and easy parking off road. The lodge was extremely well fitted and included everything needed for a relaxing break. The bed was one of the comfiest I have ever slept in and the hot tub was the icing on the cake. The owners were friendly, helpful and basically stayed out of the way, which is ideal. We enjoyed ourselves so much that halfway through our week, we booked again for next summer. I think that says it all.

Fantastic hosts Jon and Mandy made us feel very welcome indeed, gave us some good recommendations for visits and information about the local area.

The Welcome pack had all you needed to know! The hot tub was just lovely after a long drive. On arrival we received a selection of complimentary items including milk, orange juice, bread and butter. The cottage itself was very well equipped and furnished to a high standard. Would recommend booking into The Recruiting Sargent pub for food, especially the sea food. An ideal base for seeing the North Norfolk Coast.

A real cosy cottage excellent for couples set in a relaxing quite part of Norfolk.

Owners very polite and helpful added bonus they live onsite. Hot tub well say no more every one loves a hot tub my partner used it a few times during our stay. Will definitely book this cottage again loads to do in the area local pub was very welcoming and would highly recommended food was out of this world. Thank you very much to owners for such a lovely weekend.

A great base to slowly get up as lots of places are close by, whether it be a bracing winter sunny walk on Cromer Sands or checking out the sites (and shopping) of Norwich.

Ali Spice in Coltishal serves up a great curry based takeaway we didn't stay long enough to try the Chinese. If you are cooking for yourself the North Walsham has two big supermarkets and the Lodge Annex has all the pots and pans you need. Returning or arriving the hot tub aids chilling in the mental arena. The hosts are there, welcoming, nowt too much trouble, yet you have your own space. If it was closer to our home a return visit would be higher on the list.

The hosts were very friendly and very helpful with directions.

The cottage was well maintained and very cosy.

I was shocked at how many extras there were when we arrived.

A bottle of wine on the table, dressing gowns and towels provided for the hot tub along with flip flops. Food in the fridge, it was great to have the basic things to keep you going when you arrive. The whole atmosphere of the lodge was so relaxing, ideal if you just want to curl up on the sofa and read a book. 11/10 would recommend, absolutely loved it!

Booked for two nights in November.

Upon arrival at the property we discovered that it was in fact a hidden gem and the pictures don't do it much justice. It's the ideal place for a relaxing get away, it's a bit out of the way though and we struggled to get a taxi so I'd recommend that you book a taxi in advance (nearby Wroxham is about a 10 minute car journey) The owners couldn't be more welcoming and friendly they were always happy to stop and chat. There was a selection of board games and dvd's for entertainment. The welcoming package left by the owners was also a nice thought. The lodge is an annex style building in the grounds of the owners house and the hot tub is over the other side of their garden but don't let that put you off as they were quite happy to let us use the tub even though it was later on in the evening. All in all it was a pleasant weekend in that part of the country and it was made better by staying in nice accommodation.

Excellent cottage, super warm and cosy.

Lovely owners there to answer any questions and the hit tub is a magic touch. Would definitely recommend. 5 stars.

We had a lovely, relaxing stay at The Lodge.

On arrival was welcomed by Jon who gave us a tour - the Welcome Pack and wine was a nice addition. The Lodge was very clean, well equipped, warm and comfortable. The hot tub rounded off each evening perfectly. An ideal base for visiting Norwich and a nice, scenic drive to the coast.

In the description before booking you describe the Hot Tub as 'Sole Use'.

When the booking confirmation comes through it states 'Shared use' of the Hot Tub. I did not query this with you but thought I would sort it our with the owners and the former is correct i.e. Sole use. Another point, I looked the address up on Google Road maps and it is shown on the right hand side of the B1150 but Church Road takes you to another town entirely. I queried this with your agent who confirmed that it was on the right and that Church Road should not be in the address. I contacted the owners and they said Church Road is correct and Google have it wrong! Not only that but the property is on the left and the owners always sent explicit instructions because the post code covers a huge area and that is where the confusion comes in. They also sent details of the new Norwich bypass road which has only recently opened and is not on any road atlases yet

Lovely cottage and great to have a hot tub too.

Everything was supplied ie dressing gowns, slippers, even make up wipes. There was also a dishwasher which was great. We enjoyed our stay very much and would definitely go back.

The cottage was in a quiet rural location but only 5 minutes away from the village.

The owners, Jon and Mandy were extremely welcoming and had provided everything we needed, even down to providing a new bottle of Fairy liquid when they noticed that ours was getting low. The welcome pack was great; bread, milk, orange juice and even a bottle of wine-that's a first. They provided more than enough tea, coffee and sugar/sweeteners. The wet room was overstocked with toiletries and the cupboard full of toilet rolls (normally lucky to get one spare one). "The Lodge" is very disability friendly having parking right outside the door with a ramp, grab handles in the wet room and even a bath stool should you need to sit, excellent. Although the weather was a bit iffy, my wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our week in Norfolk visiting National Trust properties and gardens using our "Gardeners World" two for one ticket. "The Lodge" at Coltishall has got to be on your" to visit" list.

A beautifully appointed lodge annexe in a lovely setting.

Pretty garden with flowers & shrubs Hot tub with exclusive use for guests Helpful, friendly hosts All in all a delightful week in great surroundings

The booking experience with Sykes was not good as the property was incorrectly advertised and despite pointing this out no apology (In fact they tried to justify their error!

!) Having threatened to cancel the Holiday they then apologised. However this had nothing to do with The Lodge or the owners, which were both excellent. The Lodge was very clean, well appointed and in a great location. There was a very useful welcome pack and as we did not arrive till late was really well received. I would definitely recommend this property to anyone who wants a fully equipped property which is very clean and central to the Broads

The lodge is the most beautiful place you could wish to stay the gardens are amazing and the hot tub is a bonus we will going back next time we visit Norfolk

A smart compact cottage providing a good base for exploring Norfolk.

Only drawback was the distance to a village for amenities like pubs and restaurants, meaning the car was needed for any outings.

Excellent hosts, facilities, cleanliness and perfect location for visiting north Norfolk area.

The owners were very friendly, could not do enough for you but were not in your face, hot tub was a bonus, The Lodge was very clean and everything you wanted for your needs, never had such a big welcome pack before, the area was just right to see Norfolk, will most certainly be going back.

Can't fault it at all,every thing was perfect.

Lovely area, plenty to see coast ,country,and broads.

A great place to stay for 2 people.

The sun room is lovely to while away an hour or so. The hot tub was an added bonus too! The owners are lovely and very helpful. Would recommend to friends and also return if we went back to Norfolk

Wonderfully hospitable host, spotlessly clean accommodation with many extra little touches to ensure my stay was perfect.

Well and comfortably furnished, and a generous welcome pack on top.

Lovely annexe, great facilities and friendly hosts.

Would highly recommend to anyone

Jon and Mandy were lovely friendly hosts.

The lodge was wonderful - very comfy and cosy- bed was amazingly comfy!! The hot tub was brilliant- such a lovely way to unwind at the end of a day of walking! The lodge is in an ideal location- you can easily get to the Broads, coastline and into Norwich. The supplies Jon and Mandy left as a welcome were such a lovely touch-up thank you for the wine in particular(!) Would definitely recommend this place, it was a lovely stay.

The Lodge was the perfect place for a few days away.

It was clean, comfortable and the welcome pack was lovely!

The lodge is a wonderful property has everything you need for a good stay owners Jon and Mandy are very welcoming.

The welcome pack is a nice touch and the property is ideal for the coast, broads or the city highly recommend this property although we did not make use of it there is a hot tub for the use if you wish will definitely return.

The Annex is a perfect place to stay when you want a spotlessly clean comfortable base to explore Norfolk.

Our hosts Jon and Mandy were extremely friendly and helpful and by the end of the week felt like friends. They even provided a welcome pack which included wine to get our holiday off to a good start. The Annex has many luxurious touches, we especially enjoyed the conservatory, with its lovely garden views. I didn't get chance to use the hot tub but it too looked very inviting.

Mandy and Jon made us feel very welcome, the lodge is a new-build next to the old farm house, and is well located just north of Norwich.

The Lodge is very well built, all the required facilities, and the sun lounge faces on to an extensive garden and the hot pool. Lots and lots to do in the area, Norwich is a very interesting and historic city with two cathedrals, only Coventry can boast the same. The beautiful coast is only 20 minutes away. The property and its owners are highly recommended.

All in all it was a lovely weeks stay in a very comfortable cottage.

Every detail had been thought of, ropes and slippers to wear and food in the fridge. I felt a little awkward using the hot tub as it was right next to the owners house but we were made to feel very welcome and felt at ease using it. Such a welcome treat when we had been out cycling all day. A very central cottage to all attractions. Highly recommend a stay here. Loved it!!

Facilities excellent.

Marvelous, friendly, helpful hosts. Mabel, Eric & Jack (the 3 cats!), wildlife & hot tub great added bonuses! Quiet. Best holiday for a long time. Definately recommended.

The owners (Jon and Mandy) were very friendly and extremely helpful, nothing was too much trouble for them.

The accommodation was perfect for us as a couple and the addition of the sun room made it feel quite roomy. The lodge is perfectly situated for touring both the broads and the north and east coastline, we really enjoyed our stay.

This cottage was probably the best we've ever stayed in, spotlessly clean, extremely well equipped and ideally situated for exploring the Norfolk Broads and further afield.

The owners, Jon and Mandy, are lovely, friendly and hospitable without being "in your face", nothing was too much trouble for them and there was a great welcome pack, they even gave me a birthday card! Add to that the unlimited use of the hot tub and it really couldn't be a better place to stay. We would be happy to recommend to anyone and will definitely return.

Jon and Mandy were the perfect hosts and the Annex was the ideal holiday home.

Well done to all concerned.

Great location for visiting Norfolk.

Lovely spot and people. Very pleasant accommodation, despite the horrible weather!

A cosy little annex, and a lovely welcome pack much appreciated.

In a very well placed location to visit much of Norfolk. The only niggle, which is more of a listing annomoly, is that the bedroom is stated as a king size double bedroom, to which the bed is a normal size double bed. The hosts were very welcoming and accommodating. Would definitely visit again. Many thanks.

This was a very quiet location that was excellent for our requirements.

Jon met us and gave us a detailed tour. The cottage was comfortable and very well equipped, the hot tub was exceptional. For a romantic get away this is the go to location in East Anglia.

we were greeted by jon and mandy who showed us where everything was ,gave us a welcome pack far beyond our expectations, would thoroughly recommend this property to anyone
