The communication from Graham and Jan was excellent and very quick. The bungalow was extremely clean and had everything we needed. A really lovely space on a lovely site.The TV reception was not good when we stayed, but there were DVDs provided and we didn't have much time to watch anything, so wasn't really a problem. Broadband was included which is a nice extra.The on-site pub/restaurant had a great atmosphere and served really good food.We had a lovely few days away in the bungalow and would definitely visit again.

Lovely tranquil family break

Wonderful Suffolk retreat

We had a super stay at this property. The location is great, walking distance to restaurants and pubs, short drive to the beach and we had a lovely walk to Carlton Marshes.A bonus is being able to use the shared pool on site.Accomodation was clean and comfortable, and we really enjoyed sitting on the seated decking area.Would return again.

Tranquil holiday retreat

This was a lovely, very peaceful holiday, the accommodation was clean, well presented and had everything necessary for your stay (slightly old fashioned but so are we!!). The site at the marina is very well managed and very quiet (no cars racing about and the grounds cared for). We would happily return here again... Thank you Graham and Jan.

Lovely break

A last minute decision helped us find this gem. The bungalow was clean and tidy with plenty of space for us all and some nice little welcoming touchs. The site was well kept with great food and service. There was easy access to the amenities and the beach was close by. The hosts were incredibly welcoming and gave us plenty of info in advance to help our stay run smoothly. Would thoroughly recommend to others.

Family break away

Lovely little lodge, great location being a short drive to Lowestoft or Great Yarmouth beaches and attractions. Well equipped kitchen with everything needed with bedding provided. The welcome pack of tea, coffee and biscuits was a really nice touch. The holiday park itself is spacious with lots of space for kids to play/run around. Nice bar/restaurant and pool on site. Great comms from hosts all through the booking process. Would highly recommend 😊

Excellent location. Bungalow was comfortable, although the double and single beds less so. A visit to Asda to purchase the cheapest mattress covers resolved this issue. The patio furniture was fine, but had not been properly cleaned - there were cobwebs over the seats. Again, quickly resolved by a quick wipe down, so no major problem. Internally, the bungalow was very well presented - clean, comfortable and a very well stocked kitchen. A pity about those two issues, because it is a really nice bungalow in a wonderful location. But they did not spoil our time and would not prevent us from coming back.

Thank you for your review, so pleased you enjoyed your stay. Sorry you found beds uncomfortable, we will look into this as we haven’t had any other guests mention it. Unfortunately, the patio furniture is prone to cobwebs due to the location of the bungalow ( close to the marshes) despite trying to keep it clean. We do provide weatherproof cushions to sit on which we hope you found inside. Graham and Jan

Nice place

The property is set in a quiet location but in walking distance of local restraunts and takeaways, all serving nice food,we would recommend that you book the Quayside Restraunt in advance, we had the Sunday carvery which was excellent and the bar has a good selection of Ales, the chalet was very comfortable,clean and roomy, the patio area was great to sit out on and there's plenty of room for the kids run around and play, especially the little park adjacent to the property, WIFI was excellent, the site was kept very clean and there was always someone tidying up. The hosts, Graham &Jan, kept us posted before we went on our stay, we will be recomending to our family and friends. Thanks Graham and Jan.

Brilliant Place, Exceptional hosts.

We arrived at the property on the Saturday and had a couple of questions. Graham and Jan were on hand to answer them or of they didn't know, found out the answer for us. The property was spacious and accurately portrayed in the photos. The property was exceptionally clean. The location of the property was right on the Marina. There was a very short walk to the boats and enabled us to have a good view of the Thursday night Power Boat racing. The bar staff are friendly and selection of drinks and food were good. Most nights we went to a restaurant. The Wherry for a Carvery which was excellent and walking distance. We got the train from Oulton Broad South to Lowestoft on Friday night to eat at Iconic. The train station is walking distance at both ends. Iconic does a steak night and the food is great. Overall we had a great stay in Lowestoft. The beach is always fantastic and there are many days out to be had in the local area using this property as a base.

Great week long stay with small children

We really enjoyed our stay as a family of six. The bungalow was well equipped and lovely and clean, with new carpets. We've stayed in a lot of similar properties locally and this one felt much more roomy with ample living and dining space and a really nice small balcony/decking with the children's play park in sight. The holiday park was nice and quiet and Nicholas Everitt Park, it's cafe and the Oulton Broad South train station are only a five minute walk. Graham and Jan were very helpful and in touch throughout. Thanks for a great stay!
