Mill Lodge Reviews

Lovely property, ideal for wheelchair users and inescapable enclosed back garden for dog owners. Gemma, the owner, was very welcoming and helpful with a few issues which didnt spoil our stay in any way. Highly recommend,
Lovely little place to stay, owners very friendly and helpful. A visit to The Brisley Bell is a must! Little tip the TV isnt a smart one, so if you want to watch anything other than the basic TV channels, take a firestick or lap top to plug in for NetflixAmazon etc.
Gemma was very nice, met us on arrival, explained what we needed to know, asked if we needed anything she was there to help. No interference in our holiday We had a wonderful time, great walks with the dogs on the doorstep, central to many beaches, pubs, shops, etc not far. Lovely area, very restful at bungalow, hot tub devine.
We had a lovely stay at Mill Lodge, Gemma and all her family were very welcoming and friendly. We could not believe how big the lodge was and really benefitted on having 3 bathrooms. The dogs loved running around in the enclosed garden area. Everything was lovely and clean and the lodge was well equipped. Would definitely recommend Mill Lodge to other holiday makers.
Jennifer
Great property, had everything we needed. Loved it so much, already booked for next year.
Advertised as wheelchair friendly. Yes it had a ramp to property and wet room.This wet room was dangerous no rails inside shower apart from one at side. Floor slippy nowhere to put toillitries. Furniture in room saggy and too low if I hadnt taken a firm cushion in car I wouldnt have anywhere to sit.Also dining chairs too low. This cottage ideal for families with children and reasonably fit people but should not be advertised as wheelchair friendly.The week we were there surrounding area was like a building site,A wagon arrived at 6 am waking us all up. The friend with us was poorly due to all the stress that faced her
A wonderful week away, mill lodge is a perfect base. Gemma is very welcoming and helpful. All in all a perfect holiday. Well be back
Gillian
Lovely accessible spacious property. A riserrecliner chair in the lounge area would benefit a wheelchair user. Also a shelf in the ensuite wet room would be handy as we had to put toiletriesmedical aids etc on the floor which was not ideal.
We spent a wonderful week at Mill Lodge where everything was provided for an enjoyable stay. The enclosed garden was excellent for our dog, who also enjoyed her morning and evening walks on the Amazing Green!! It was an ideal base to visit both the coast and also inland attractions. After going out it was lovely to come back and relax in the Hot Tub. Gemma the owner was very nice and friendly when she greeted us. We were very impressed with our holiday at Mill Lodge and while we were there we booked to go back again next year. Thankyou for a great holiday.
Terence
This property is absolutely ideal, if like us, one of our party is both elderly and disabled. Ideally, the second nondisabled bedroom needs a King size bed for a better sleeping experience. Overall, Mill Lodge is very well equiped and was an ideal base from which to explore North Norfolk.
We enjoyed our weeks stay . Very accommodating. Clean . Facilities good . Owners very friendly. Couldn't fault it at all in any respect but if I was nitpicking could do with fly screens or something because of the flies and wasps. I suppose its expected cause it's near farmland. We stayed during warm weather and keeping all windows closed is not the preferred option. But the main thing is we enjoyed our stay and would definitely book the Mill Lodge again
This cottage was in a lovely location, and its facilities were excellent. Very easy for access and movement for a wheelchair and on the whole welldesigned to assist people with reduced mobility. My one criticism is with the photographs to help people when making a decision. There were no photographs of any of the three bathroomWet rooms. I feel that any property advertised as suitable for wheelchairs needs to show the bathrooms. Also a floor plan is very useful when gauging space for transferring from a wheelchair to a shower chair or to the toilet. I find I am always concerned until I arrive at a new place, particularly with this aspect of my holiday. Now we are happy with this property we will certainly return in the future.
We had a lovely week in MayJune 2022. The property is ideally located to visit all the villages in the surrounding area and the coast. Wells and Cromer are close by and we had a couple of lovely sunny days so we could make the most of the beach. There are some really pretty villages in the area. The local pub is fantastic with amazing food. We went away during the Queens Platinum Jubilee and there was a fabulous event held on the cricket pitch and everyone was very friendly and made us welcome. There are lots of places nearby to eat and we had some fantastic meals. Most places are dog friendly too so our dog came with us everywhere. The only down side is that I have put on about half a stone! The property is ideal for dog lovers and would be suitable for wheelchair users as it is all on one level. There is a safe enclosed back garden which our dog loved. The wifi is not great which caused a bit of an issue as I had some work commitments. But not a problem if you want to get away from the outside world. The furniture and hot tub are a bit dated but this is not a massive issue. The hot tub makes a bit of a grinding noise and the jets are not very powerful but it still works fine. The beds are comfy and there are 3 bathrooms. There is a washing machine, tumble dryer and iron which are always handy. A car is essential as, apart from the pub and church, there is nothing else in the village. We would definitely recommend staying at this property.
Hayley
Wed had a great stay, it was a nice area and great to commute to the city or coast when meeting friends. If was clean and the host was both friendly and kind. Great that pets are welcome. The only feedback Id give is a bigger bed in the master bedroom, its personal preference. The bed itself was comfortable but were used to a much bigger bed. Great stay . Would come again
Rebecca
Unfortunately we didnt get to enjoy our full holiday as our children tested positive for Covid on the 2nd day so we were asked to leave. However the lodge was lovely and clean. Possibly not a place I would book with children again as its very remote and a long way from anything but is perfect for a couples or adult break
Had a lovely week at Mill Lodge with my family with my family of 4 and a dog. The large bungalow was very clean with good facilities. It had everything needed for a comfortable and successful holiday. Ideal for anyone with restricted mobility wheelchair friendly. The garden is totally secure and the hot tub was fab! The lovely owners are on hand if there are any issues but respected your privacy. We all enjoyed our stay very much, theres plenty to do within driving distance and a dog friendly upmarket pub across the road. Perfect place for a relaxing break.
Pamela
Lovely place to stay, everything we needed was in there Mrs Bidewell was most ... Lovely place to stay, everything we needed was in there Mrs Bidewell was most helpful when we had any questions about WiFi , heating etc Would visit again
Lovely setting nice safe garden for the dogs with hot tub. One tiny thing some of the taps very difficult to turn and the shower in the disabled bathroom was very difficult to turn on and off maybe change the thermostatic shower over for a Grohe eurosmart lever shower this would solve the problem. Apart from this tiny problem we thoroughly enjoyed are week here and would recommend it. Ps the host Was very helpful and nothing was a problem .
Having disabled facilities is essential for my husband to travel, and mill lodge has everything we need. The owner Mrs Biden was so friendly and helpful. And well be back next year.
Carolynn
Hosts there when you want them and leave you alone at the same time. Just a little far to the beach around 30 mins. Wasnt a problem for us.
Ashley
The cottage was perfectly laid out for us. The garden was nice and private and the hot tub was lovely! Highly recommend this cottage. Our host made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed and was a pleasure to communicate with.
Great place to stay, owners really accommodating. Had everything we needed.
This is a fantastic cottage in a beautiful, quiet village. The enclosed garden is perfect for dogs and there are lots of great walks from your doorstep. The hot tub is a great feature and the nearby pub 2 minutes walk is one of the best I've ever been to! Further afield, the North Norfolk coastline is only 30 minutes drive. All in all a fantastic holiday thank you!
Milk lodge was everything we expected and so much more. Beautiful cottage in a perfect location. It was very clean and had everything we needed I would recommend this property to everyone perfect for Families and for dogs too.
Sandra
Mill Lodge was perfect for our needs. The listing was accurate and above expectations. We had a brilliant stay and the hot tub was a bonus after busy days out visiting local National Trust propertiesn Holt to Sheringham NNR Railway and Hunstanton. Highly recommend.
Mill Lodge is a very comfortable, spacious and well equipment property. We stayed with 2 friends and there dogs, the enclosed garden was very nice and we could sit out with no worries The owner met us on arrival, very friendly and helpful with local advice and explained everything clearly Would definitely recommend and plan to visit again
Graham
A lovely break in a well appointed and versatile property. Kitchen of property extremely well equipped. Friendly & welcoming owners close to hand if needed but not obtrusive, left us to our own devices but made it clear they were readily available if help needed with anything. This property was particularly good for our 3 dogs who were also welcomed. Hot tub was a very welcome bonus. Location of property was close enough to beaches & local towns for us to help make a great break. We would recommend this property to all. Thank you for a lovely stay!
Robert
Mill lodge is a great base to explore the North of Norfolk. Its secluded garden is great for dogs and kids to play. My only advice would be they could do with a couple of fans as there are only doors in the bedrooms and no windows and unless you are prepared to leave the doors open all night there is no air circulating and also my parents who are a little unsteady on their feet had to use the middle room as we had the cot in the big room and there are no grab rails in the bathroom to help. Apart from this we had a fantastic time and the hot tub is a great way to chill on an evening
Anthony
Very quiet and secluded despite being part of a complex. Lovely garden and hot tub and convenient for the coast. Very dog friendly.
The lodge is perfectly situated for exploring Norfolk The owners have thought of everything to make your stay enjoyable. It is also ideal for dogs with a large enclosed garden..
Hannah
Really nice place, helpful people. If people are staying 5 nights would be nice for them to have enough things e.g toilet roll and teabags
Joseph
Advertised as pet friendly but on arrival after reading the card found out dogs NOT allowed in the bedrooms. This created a problem as our dogs always sleep in our room and I take my own bedding to make sure they do not cause a mess if they jump on the bed. The Lodge itself was a good wheelchair friendly layout however the underfloor heating does not provide much warmth on the colder days as it is on a timed thermostat that cannot be accessed. The toilets in the double bedrooms had an airlock so made an awful lot of noise when flushed and the end bathroom had a strong gas like odour presumably from the boiler. The Hot tub is under a tree so we did not use it as anticipated the leaves falling in the water and any rain on the leaves dripping on to us. We have a hot tub at home so luckily this did not affect our stay. We met the owner on arrival but then only saw her briefly when she arrived home in her car...she did not give a friendly wave or stop to enquire if everything was ok. I feel strongly that any rules such as the no dogs in bedroom rule should be mentioned on booking as this would have definitely made look elsewhere. As it was I had a stressful week trying to keep the dogs out and listening to them cry and have unsettled night...I ended up sleeping on the sofa to be with them. The negatives are a great shame as on arrival the property had a wow factor and the garden is a good size to relax in on a warm day.
We have stayed at Mill Lodge Twice before. It is in a fairly central position for exploring Norfolk. The Lodge is very comfortable. Both my sisters and I have Arthritis we are in our sixties, and everything was accessible as it is all on one level. The garden is large backing onto woodland and secluded with a Hot Tub to soothe your aches and pains, and safe for our two dogs to play about. Mrs Bidewell the owner is very friendly and available to help if anything is not as it should be.
Very well laid out cottage. Access to the garden and the hot tub through the ensuite rooms was a good design feature. Good that it was tiled throughout as we had dogs and it was a particularly wet week. The washing machine and tumble drier were useful as we had one small bath towel and hand towel each for the 5 days and as we were showering daily and using the hot tub they got pretty wet quite quickly. I would recommend that customers might like to bring an extra towel for the hot tub. Good sized fridge freezer, and a very easy to operate cooker were great and good to have a dishwasher. The cottage is well designed for wheel chair users I would imagine, although we can't vouch for that personally. The location was very quiet and rural but is not too far from the wonderful city of Norwich. It is also in reasonable proximity to the North Norfolk coast. You would need a car or to be fit cyclists if you want to do anything more than just relax, chill out and go for country walks. You will need to bring your own toiletriessoapdishcloth and hairdryer as these were not provided as far as we could see. The lighting throughout was sufficient to read and do our jigsaw, which is a bonus as it is often dim in lodges we have stayed in in the past. All in all, a good cottage with lots of plus points.

This is second time we have been here and know what to expect so had a very good ... This is second time we have been here and know what to expect so had a very good time,if you do not know you will require to take all food as there is nothing ,when I say nothing I mean nothing so take everything,there are plenty of shops nearbye,also no instruction for anything ,one tip dryer will require water collection at top empted or will not work,the toilet at top of building can be heard everywhere when flushed,
There were no kitchen towel or hand towel or washing up liquid. In fact nothing a all for to help us to keep the kitchen clean. Even when we left there was no brush etc to sweep up. All through cold stone floors. We did phone and ask for a heater which was given, but only heated a small area. The inside is fully open plan, nothing to shut the lounge and kitchen off from the corridor leading to all bedrooms. These consisted of one disabled ensuite. which my husband used as it was the only room with a proper shower and even that wasn't very good as the water didn't run out very quickly. The next room was a bedroom with ensuite, but the bath was only half size, with a large seat and half size bath, no good for me. I therefore used that bedroom and had to walk down the corridor to use the bathroom. The 3rd bedroom had bunk beds. The garden none at the front, but very small at the back, not big enough for the dogs to run around in, and was covered in leaves, under which my husband found a lot of dogs mess which hadn't been cleaned from previous occupants. Not very nice. Definitely WOULD NOT recommend to anyone else. Brenda and Barry Cunliffe
There were 3 people n 3 dogs and everything we needed was there. It was great having a bathroom each n the disabled wet room was extremely well designed. There was nothing too much trouble for Gemma owner. The hot tub was great even when it rained.

Attractions Near Mill Lodge

While there'll be plenty to keep you entertained an Mill Lodge itself, if you plan to get out and about and see some of what Norfolk has to offer, here are some of the nearby attractions you can enjoy during your stay. Please note that some of these activities and days out are paid and it's always a good idea to book in advance to secure your place where applicable.

Found a special day out near your cottage? Please let us know and we'll add it so that other visitors can enjoy it too!
Pensthorpe Nature Reserve & Gardens - NR21 0LN
about 5 Miles
if you and your family are interested in nature and wildlife then Pensthorpe Nature Reserve & Gardens is the perfect place for a day out. This beautiful area of national parkland is home to a huge range of common and rare birds from sparrows to Red Crowned Cranes and also has a red squirrel enclosure - part of a conservation programme and now home to a family of adorable squirrels. Other activities to enjoy at Pensthorpe include pond dipping and Landrover discovery tours. Pensthorpe also played host to BBC'S Springwatch in 2010.
Dinosaur Adventure Park - NR9 5JW
about 10 Miles
This fun family day out has been well planned and we think is certainly worth a visit.  New for 2010 is the PrimEvil at Dinosaur Adventure.  Other fun activities include the Dinosaur Trail, Arachnophobia, the Raptor Races and the adventure play area.  The secret animal garden is also popular.  You can play a role in wildlife conservation and sponsor an animal if you wish.  At the moment if you sign up for their newsletter there is a chance to win a family ticket.
Melsop Farm Park - NR20 3DT
about 13 Miles
We love this attraction in Scoulton, Norfolk with a great collection of animals.  Children and adults alike have the chance to get hands on with the animals in the special handling areas.  On rainy days there is always the indoor play area for the little ones and when it's time for a bite to eat the cafe on the farm is open all day selling drinks and snacks.  Hot food is available over lunch times.
Bishops Boats Seal Trips - NR23 1RY
about 14 Miles
This is a really unique attraction running daily seal watching trips from the middle of March right through to the end of October.  The experienced skippers will lead you out on one of the traditional wooden boats where you will have the chance to see both common and grey seals.  If you love animals then this is one attraction not to be missed! They also do some boat trips combined with guides on dry land such as seal watching combined with a visit to Blakeney Point Nature Reserve, owned by the National Trust.  We think this attraction is excellent value for money as they keep their admission prices low.
Sheringham Park - NR26 8TL
about 16 Miles
The National Trust Sheringham Park in Norfolk was designed by Humphry Repton and the book of original designs can still be seen. The park has many attractions including a viewing tower and a gazebo with amazing coastal views, wildlife trails which young children will love and an exhibition barn where visitors can learn the history of the park.
Banham Zoo - NR16 2HE
about 21 Miles
This award winning wildlife attraction has much to offer both families and couples looking for a fun and educational day out.  You can discover a whole wild world of animals with over 1000 different animals from around the world. You will probably want to try and spend the whole day here so you don's miss out on anything.  Highlights include the amazing animals presentation, the birds of prey display and the feeding talks, all of which take place at set times of the day.  This attraction is fantastic value for money and highly recommended.  Their latest event is the Snow Leopard Club Naming Auction and there has recently been a baby giraffe born at the zoo.
Bewilderwood - NR12 8JW
about 23 Miles
Bewilderwood is a fun day out for the whole family located in the Wroxham area of Norfolk.  This imaginative adventure park has won awards and we think kids especially will love the characters and the magical tree houses. You can even book your ticket online and beat the queues by visiting their website where you can also view video clips of the park. This place is also the setting for the book 'A Boggle at BeWILDerwood', by local children's author Tom Blofeld.  Parents are not left out either as you're encouraged to take part and play alongside your children.
