A taste of luxury in Norfolk
Whenever we arrive at place new to us, we wonder what will be around the door! In this case, first impressions were little concerning as it look like a caravan park.
We drove to the end and saw two lodges set well away and it just became better with each step. You park right outside the door making unloading easy. Plenty of lighting here.
Bright, warm and tastefully decorated are the first impressions. Then you see that that the lounge has great views across fields and down to the sea (brilliant sunset by the way) and has a large sofa. The modern kitchen has all that is needed and came with dishwasher tablets for the stay, some supplies to get you started: coffee pods, biscuits,milk etc.
Then you turn to the large bathroom, actually huge for a new building, complete with big tub and big walk in shower. Even large drawers so you can tidy away those bathroom bags..
Bedroom has a huge comfy bed, plenty of light and has slippers and bathrobes provided. They even have "normal" hangers rather than the thief proof one all too common.
Barbecue tools were unused ; washing machine pristine.
Outside, the deck wraps around two sides. It has two large recliners which are really comfortable. During our stay, the strong wind was cold and made walking unpleasant. Yet on the terrace, you could sit sheltered in the sun and sleep! Perhaps other wind directions would be less favourable. We appreciated the powerful heating when it was only a few degrees outside.
The owning family are around and cheerfully helpful but not intrusive.
Improvements? Main suggestion would be more crockery and cutlery. There is a set of 4 pieces basically which means that you need to run an pretty empty dishwasher ( or wash up) at least daily if you have meals in the lodge. Better eco practice would be less often.
Perhaps the two bar stools could be removed as they sort of get in the way and are simply not needed.
