About Someplace Else

Enjoying a central position within South Norfolk, just a few miles away from the market town of Diss, is this well-presented lodge resting within a secluded position on the grounds of the owners property, Someplace Else. This romantic retreat is ideally placed for a couple seeking to explore the Norfolk Broads, the Thetford Forest Park or head to the glorious coastline.

Soak up the countryside setting before stepping into the open-plan living room, where you will be delighted to find all the essentials that you could possibly need during a week-long break. Here, you will find a well-equipped kitchen complete with all the essentials to rustle up a home-cooked meal that can be enjoyed at the dining table.

After dinner, look forward to curling up on the leather sofa to plan the days ahead whilst the woodburning stove fills the room with a gentle warmth during those chilly winter months. The interior is completed by a spacious double bedroom, which benefits from ample storage to house your personal belongings, a TV for those relaxing evenings in and a window that offers delightful views for you to wake up to each morning.

To the outside you will find a decked area, where you can dip into a bubbling hot tub to soak up the surroundings and catch the final glimpses of sunshine during a balmy afternoon. If you can tear yourself away from this romantic retreat, a short walk will bring you to the local pub where you can enjoy a delicious evening meal.

Alternatively, venture slightly further afield to the town of Diss where you will find a superb selection of restaurants, pubs, cafes and delis, as well as a selection of independent shops for picking the essentials. To keep you busy whilst staying here, there's a farmers market at the local village hall on the 4th Saturday of each month, or head to Bressingham Steam and Gardens, wander the endearing Diss Mere or catch a play at the impressive Corn Hall.

Banham Zoo - NR16 2HE
about 3 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.
Melsop Farm Park - NR20 3DT
about 11 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.
Suffolk Owl Sanctuary - IP28 6HX
about 15 Miles
This amazing owl sanctuary located in the Stowmarket area of Suffolk should be high on your list of places to visit in the area.  The attraction is also a registered charity and carries out important work in the care & rehabilitation of owls from the region.  The sanctuary also raises awareness of owl conservation throughout the UK.  Between April and the end of September there are two superb flying displays each day so you should try and make your visit coincide with one of these displays if you can.
Ickworth House, Park & Gardens - IP29 5QE
about 18 Miles
The National Trust Ickworth House, Park & Gardens is a Beautiful 1800 acre country estate with many attractions including a fantastic adventure playground for the children and a range of nature trails which the whole family will enjoy. The site also has a family friendly cycle route a gift shop and a small café
Dinosaur Adventure Park - NR9 5JW
about 22 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.
National Horse Racing Museum - CB8 8JL
about 27 Miles
This is a museum with a difference and a must see if you are into horse racing.  You can take guided tours around the museum or choose to wander round yourself admiring the exhibits.  New for 2010 is a Junior Fun Tour which is ideal for children.  Simply ask the gallery staff for a Fun Tour pack when you enter the museum and kids can answer questions and spot clues and tips on the way round.  One of the most popular recent exhibitions is the Thoroughbred: State of the Art exhibition in Gallery 5 on until 31st October.  Check out their websites for the latest exhibitions.
Bewilderwood - NR12 8JW
about 28 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.
Africa Alive - NR33 7TF
about 29 Miles
Africa Alive is one of Suffolk's largest attractions and one of the most popular in the whole of the UK.  The Africa themed park is very unique and gives visitors the chance to see some amazing creatures in a habitat which is as close to nature as possible. The park can be explored by car and on foot and Hyenas and Giraffes are just some of the animals you will encounter as you make your way around the park. Watch out for the lightning fast Cheetahs and keep your eyes peeled to spot the more reclusive creatures. During a day at Africa Alive there will be plenty of shows and educational talks taking place and if the weather turns then the indoor Adventure Play Ground comes in very handy. The site also has a well stocked Gift Shop and a Discovery Centre.
