This was just the break my husband and i needed. Being in the countryside was just great for us, and exploring Norfolk was brilliant! This was our first time here and its safe to say we will be back very soon. Thank you to the lovely owners Cathy and Paul for their recommendations of pubs and walks.

Our weeks stay at Lilac Lodge was perfect. The Lodge was perfect for two. Cosy, warm and in a delightful setting. We wanted for nothing! It is an ideal base to visit the many attractions North Norfolk has to offer and we loved our time touring around.......coming back at the end of the day to this little place that soon began to feel just like homeRead more.

The best holiday this year. The cottage is a home from home very well thought out garden and surrounding area well cared for. Not far away from all amenities and exploring.

The property is lovely with everything you need to disappear for a short break.The location was central you didn't have to travel far to Cromer, Mundesley, Sheringham, the broads & many more. It was 10mins from North Walsham where there is a Lidl, Waitrose & pubs etc for all your needs. A car is a must......
