The Cool Cat Reviews

We found the Cool Cat very satisfactory. It was very comfortable ,cosy, clean and very well equipped with more than ample storage places.The setting was intriguing especially around the pond which we overlooked. There always something going on even including the golfers gave us some amusement.The weather could have been a little kinder.We did get out and about though ,we walked through the delightful Waveney Forest which is within walking distance. We did try visiting Redwings but it was only open this time of year on the weekends.We visited Great Yarmouth but lets say we wont be bothering that town again .But we had a great holiday ,made all better for having a superb base.. Thankyou.
Antony
Superb property, with lovely view. Layout of rooms excellent to optimise location and view. High standard of decor and furnishings. Owner very helpful and responsive on a couple of queries during our stay.
The cool cat is a lovely holiday home in a lovely location, It was lovely and spacious and bedrooms were a lovely size although the bed in bedroom one was not too comfortable. The upstairs living space is bright and airy but really needs curtains or blinds as we could see right into everyone's property and they could see into ours. The hot tub was a lovely addition. We stayed for 2 weeks and really enjoyed the peaceful location. It was so lovely to be greeted by the ducks every morning and we really miss them now we are home. The property was clean but we did have trouble with ants in the ensuite and laundry room and did notice quite a few cobwebs around the lights. If I had to make some suggestions to make some inexpensive improvements it would have to be the addition of a full length mirror as there isn't one which was dissapointing, definitely more glasses, there was only one pint glass and the wine glasses were so flimsy that one literally fell apart in my mom's hand!! There were no scissors in the kitchen and knives were very blunt. I would recommend anybody staying to take your own towels, you only get a very small bath towel and a tiny hand towel each and if you want clean ones, you have to give the other set back, given that this is listed as a luxury property, we were surprised that the owner only has 2 sets of towels for it!! Overall its a lovely property and the location is wonderful but I do feel that the lodge could do with some TLC.
Maureen
The only comment I would like to make, is that a step could be provided for the hot tub. Everything else was 5 star.
Positives Amazing property, great views, spacious, loads of storage space, 2 fridges, great hot tub, beautiful location, beds in bed 2 and 3 were really comfortable Overall our family loved the house and had a great time. Downsides and minor irritations Toilet in main bathroom did not operate properly. water pressure in the ensuite shower was almost nonexistent. A bit of extra care needed with cleaners as there was quite a build up of cobwebs in the lights and light fittings. No dress mirror in any bedroom, which is irritating when you consider the spec of the property. Bar stool at breakfast bar broken Towels provided are very small. Bed in main bedroom not as comfortable as 2 and 3 and also be mindful that if you need to leave the bedroom door open if you have kids, that you have little privacy if next door are having breakfast on the decking. Lounge sofa could present a challenge for older residents. We enjoyed our stay at the property and would recommend future visitors think about bringing Mirror Bathrobes for the hot tub Large bath sheets Scissors none in kitchen Sharp knives
Perfect location & property if youre looking for total relaxation. Should you need to WFH the wifi here is excellent . We all agreed that BBQ facilities really would have added to our stay especially as many of the other rentals on the site had one included. The hot tub was a definite plus point however. The general wear & tear of the property in our opinion requires a little input again compared to the other rentals on site Overall, we would recommend this as a short break to family & friends .

As stated on my first day feedback we arrived to no hot tub facility to be told there had been a power cut and the water was cold. Considering this is the second visit to Cool Cat and that other guests on the site were in their hottubs plus it was a third of our stay and plans were to use the hottub that evening on arrival which was not possible. I was also met with the bin in the ground floor bedroom ensuite full of the previous visitors personal waste which hadn't been emptied disgusting. The towels were too small. I am slim and they didn't go around me. There was a tiny hand towel and a bath towel which is not enough and there were no extra supplies. The bed linen was exactly the same as our last visit and was cheap poly cotton. It seems to me that it is also becoming a bit shoddy and could do with a lick of paint on the decking especially compared to some of the other properties on site. Although the rooms are lovely and spacious there seems to be a lack of facilities ie. no mirrors in the bedrooms. We were 3 women who had to share 1 mirror to dry our hair in the back ground floor bedroom. Couldn't find a hair dryer so also had to share mine. It's a good job I took one. No champagne glasses and as no shop nearby could have benefited with a welcome pack especially for bread as we have experienced elsewhere. I don't think it was worth what we paid and will be looking for alternatives. The surroundings were excellent as was the view but need more comforts when on holiday.
The location of the Cool Cat is lovely. We really enjoyed the quiet relaxing environment & the house itself was really nice. The facilities were good and you have everything you need for your stay even salt & pepper! The only negatives were the house was too hot at night, due to the underfloor heating we weren't able to adjust any settings. There were lots of ants and the downstairs toilet was out of use. These things didn't affect our stay too much though as everything else was great. Would stay again & would recommend
Lovely house very clean and comfortable with great living space on the 1st floor and the hot tub was great given the luxury price tag though we did think the requirement to perform cleaning duties eg stripping the beds was a bit cheeky. But we would def stay here again
The Cool Cat Lodge at Caldecott Hall is a beautiful accommodation option for a weekend getaway, with stunning views of the Golf course and surrounding countryside. The rooms are spacious, clean, and wellappointed, with all the amenities you need for a relaxing stay, including comfortable beds. The lodge is its excellent onsite facilities, including an impressive golf course, a fully equipped gym, and a relaxing spa, which unfortunately did get time to visit maybe next time. We did have a a lovely meal at the Clubhouse barrestaurant which had varied menu of delicious dishes that are freshly prepared. The restaurant has a lovely atmosphere, with attentive service. Overall, I would highly recommend The Cool Cat Lodge at Caldecott Hall for a weekend stay. It is a fantastic choice for anyone looking for a luxurious and peaceful retreat, with plenty of activities and amenities to keep you entertained throughout your stay. The only thing that was a slight disappointment was there was only three sets of towel for my six guest, luckily we did bring extra towel to use the hot tub.
Amazing place and location

Had a lovely stay, we do feel that the living room should have curtains , we feel that the stairs were too steep , one of the toilets wasn't flushing properly , the only thing to improve to to have bins in all bathrooms
A spacious, warm and very comfortable home. A pleasure to return to at the end of a busy day. This property exceeded our expectations and we would not hesitate to return.
Fantastic place. .beautiful settling with lovely views. Highly recommend.
Suzanne
Absolutely beautiful house. Situated with a stunning view of the lake and the golf course and complimented by the quirky design. The house was lovely and clean on arrival and very welcoming. The size of the rooms are great and its very well equipped. If we are being really picky, there is a lack of dressing mirrors and waste paper bins in the bedrooms. The hot tub was really good fun & was very well maintained during our stay. We had glorious weather during our stay but the underfloor heating was still a lovely luxury to have! The grounds are beautifully maintained, we loved having the ducks over for breakfast and the facilities within Caldecott Hall are superb. The Sunday Carvery was fantastic! The owner very pleasant to deal with. We would certainly recommend Cool Cat and the surrounding area for a fun and relaxing family holiday.
The house was amazing better than we expected . Very big and modern and everything you need was provided. Location was fab as it over looked the golf course and also a lake . Just 10 mins down the road where pubs and a lovely beach . Bery clean on arrival . We are already looking at going back If Im going to be very very picky I would say it would be nice to have had a sunlounger or two and a little table on the downstairs balcony, so when you are in the hot tub you have somewhere to put your drinks ect on
Gilbert
Superb property, lovely and quiet and with helpful other owners doing work locally. Really happy with stay. You have a great property here, would happily stay in same again
Had a wonderful week staying at the cool cat. The house is in a beautiful, peaceful setting and in a great location to explore Norfolk. I would definitely recommend!
Lovely place and setting beautiful. It was quiet and peaceful the perfect place to relax either upstairs when the sun shone or downstairs out in the hot tub. It is well situated on the site, overlooking a pond, and delighted to see all the ducks. The accommodation is modern, spacious, comfortable, very clean, and well equipped. The kitchen was just absolutely amazing. Top range appliances. Thank you again and we would highly recommend it.
Jennie
A lovely place to stay, would definitely recommend.
The cool cat was out of this world couldnt fault it in any way will be booking again
We stayed at the Cool Cat 11th18th Sep and can highly recommend it. The property is fully equipped with a beautiful kitchen, has a spacious living area, large bedroomsbathrooms, a separate laundry room and a good size hot tub. All of this is set in tranquil surroundings, a fantastic location to relax and unwind. If I could change anything it would be the bed, we had the ensuite room the mattress was too soft for us and not good if you have any back issues, but this is just a personal preference. Overall I would give our stay here and will definitely be coming back.
Fantastic lodge, very comfortable and spacious. Excellent WiFi! Beautiful setting, great view. A few minor niggles with facilities, but nothing that affected our stay.
Wonderful accommodation, exactly as the photos showed. Setting next to the water was lovely and quiet.
Robert
Extremely well appointed cottage with riverside pubs, shops, etc 10 mins away. The Reedham Inn via the Chain Ferry was a hoot!
We have just returned from a weeks holiday at The Cool Cat. We had a wonderful time. The accommodation is modern, spacious, comfortable, very clean and well equipped. It is well situated on the site, overlooking a pond and our grandchildren were delighted to see a duck family with nine ducklings. It was quiet and peaceful the perfect place to relax either upstairs when the sun shone or downstairs out in the hot tub. We would return if we are holidaying in the area again and highly recommend it to others.
Lawrence
This is a stunning property and was generally great to stay in but sadly let down by some aspects of it that did not work. The fridge upstairs, one of the bathroom showers, the dishwasher and the uncontrollable underfloor heating. The owner was very polite about the issues, and refunded our deposit in a timely fashion but I suggest that when features are described they should function. The hot tub was great though and the location ideal. I think if these issues I mention have been addressed then I would recommend staying here without hesitation.
Some pans and crockery were dirty. Some cobwebs and carpet needed hoovering. Hand marks on upstairs bathroom door and some dirt on the bath Real inconvience was the broken fridge in the kitchen and had to keep going down to utility room for products in the fridge. Lovely place and setting beautiful. Think entry at 5pm is a bit late though when you travelled for 34 hrs with a toddler and cant start dinner til late. If it was due to Covid then it wasnt that clean!!
Herman
We enjoyed it! Lovely house. Smart and clinically clean. The threat of keeping the deposit 250! for the simplest things like mixing the recycle incorrectly and if you do not take off things like mattress covers when you leave, were ridiculous. For the price we paid for 5 nights, you would think that the cleaning company would at least take off the bedding when you leave! Little irritations...
Fantastic stay! The house is extremely clean and well laid out. Spacious bedrooms and living area with excellent outdoors space. Good facilities available in the kitchen. The hot tub is fantastic is it sits under the first floor of the house so can be used even when raining! Vert quiet location and while there are other houses close by they are cleverly laid out so other properties don't really look in or are too close. Lots to see and do around the area so a great location. We couldn't use the swimming pool or gym as closed due to Covid, but not sure we would have had time anyway with the house being so lovely and so much to see and do in the area. We will be visiting again and I can highly recommend The Cool Cat!
Michael
The Cool Cat is a fantastically appointed home from home for your holiday. Its an ideal base for discovering the Broads and many other delights Norlfolk has to offer.
Fabulous lodge. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Would highly recommend.
Francesca
The Cool Cat was an amazing place to spend New Years Eve with our friends. It is beautifully modern and spacious. We loved how peaceful it was there, although there wasnt much for us to do outside of the lodge apart from the Hot Tub! However this was not a problem for us because we were happy to have a chilled couple of days in. The finishing touch was the fireworks at midnight on New Years Eve, it was such a lovely surprise and topped off our celebrations perfectly.
Maureen
Quite remote.
Catherine
Beautiful location and accommodation. This is the second year we have stayed here and intend to come again next year.

Pleasurewood Hills Theme Park - NR32 4TZ
about 5 Miles
Pleasurewood Hills Theme Park is an amazing 50 acres area of stunning coastal parkland and is packed with family friendly rides and attractions. This park is an excellent choice for families with children of varied ages as there are a number of small rides for the little ones as well as some adrenaline boosting white knuckle rides for teenagers. As well as rides the site hosts some fantastic shows including the ever popular Sea Lion and Parrot encounters. At Halloween, Christmas and Easter other themed shows can also be enjoyed.  The site also has a good range of places to eat and drink whether you are looking to spend a leisurely hour relaxing with a meal or just grab a quick snack.
Africa Alive - NR33 7TF
about 9 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.  
Bewilderwood - NR12 8JW
about 13 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.
Dinosaur Adventure Park - NR9 5JW
about 24 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.
Banham Zoo - NR16 2HE
about 27 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.
