Lovely cosy property, beautifully decorated and well equipped for self-catering travellers. We had a great stay, exploring the Norfolk Broads, and our host was very helpful and welcoming.

Home from Home

On our arrival we were greeted by Georgie, Glenn and Willow their dog, we entered the cottage and couldn’t believe how beautiful and clean it was, there was everything you needed for your stay, the bed was very comfortable and we slept so well. The cottage is situated off the road and was so quiet only the birds you could hear, our two dogs had a roam around the garden and said hello to Willow. Georgie was very helpful and understanding especially when our old dog Ellie had an accident on the door mat, I would definitely recommend this cottage for your stay 10/10

Wonderful cosy stay

Easy to find but secluded stay tucked just off the A47. Everything you could need for a stay, including biscuits, towels and bowls for the dogs. Kitchen, bathroom and bedroom all modern and well equipped. Brilliant walks just on the doorstep and a short drive away, wished could have stayed a few more days to explore.

Lovely

A lovely property, clean, comfortable with everything you need. The location behind the old school house was great. Loved the details...the bedroom wall, the framed photos.

About the host

Hosted by Glenn Hewson

Hi I'm Glenn. I'm a management consultant specialising in product and go-to-market strategy in the Tech and food sectors.

I moved to beautiful Norfolk from California to be with my bride and have never looked back. Our mission is to continue to turn our old village school into a personal home and show off Norfolk to our guests.

Why they chose this property

We bought the old village school because we were looking for project home with character, a large garden and a semi-rural location but close to a city with restaurants, theatre and transit connections. With School Lodge we got all of it plus better weather, the Broads and beaches and the opportunity to share it with others through the creation of two independent, self-contained holiday lets.

What makes this property unique

The property has keyless entry and off-street parking. You’ll be given a code for your stay and have the ability to come and go as you please.
You will have your own kitchen and dinning space making meal times easy. There is a double bedroom with king bed with Emma mattress, and the lounge also has a double sofa bed for additional sleeping space. There is also a beautiful garden, ideal for enjoying the Norfolk sunshine reading a book or having a BBQ.
