Dragonfly Retreat Reviews

Nicola
I was skeptical at first, this place has only 5 star reviews. We decided to give it a go and honestly it was one of the most relaxing experiences I had in years. The cabin was incredibly nice, well curated, cozy and warm. The hot tab was absolutely incredible, we spent so much time in it, looking at the sunset and enjoying evenings. The only negative note is that nearby there is a RAF airport, and every once in a while we could hear loud noises, but they never really disrupted our relaxation. We'll be back soon!
Absolutely amazing! We were blown away on arrival. Great communication from the owner, everything in the listing was perfectly accurate. Fantastic break, would highly recommend.
Inside dragonfly was perfect, the photo of property needs updating as pond and trees are very overgrown but didn't effect are stay at this time of year but would have been a bit disappointing in the summer.
My husband and I loved our stay at the Dragon Fly. The host and his wife treated us like family! We were greeted with delicious baked goods, homemade jam and sausage rolls upon arrival. Our pod was very clean, comfortable and contained everything we needed during our stay. We loved sitting in the hot tub and watching the cows and calves interact, while the herd moved around the field grazing. Totally relaxing environment! Thank you for a great stay!
Christopher
We had a lovely relaxing 4 nights stay. Loved the hot tub was the icing on the cake. Lovely fresh flowers full size Victoria sandwich cake scones butter milk etc as a welcome gift nice touch. Good advice from owners on where to have Sunday lunch. Lots to do nearby Excellent everything we needed.
Absolutely amazing stay! Felt very welcomed and a great property. Would definitely recommend for a much needed break
An absolutely beautiful place to spend a week, could not have asked for a better place! The area is great for exploring as well with plenty of hidden gems. Thank you so much for making our first Sykes experience a perfect one.
Wonderful cabin and extremely friendly staff. Thank you for a beautiful stay. The homemade cakes were a wonderful touch and very thoughtful. Loved it here and would definitely recommend.
What a lovely weekend we had for my partners birthday. Thank you for the lovely baked goods which were a nice extra touch. Was lovely to have coffee and milk there too so when we arrived we could have a hot drink after the drive. The hut was so lovely and well looked after. It was perfect for our weekend and I have even forwarded it to a few friends so they can book and enjoy it too. Thank you so much
Rhianna
We stayed for two nights and had the best time I couldn't recommend it enough! The attention to detail, cleanliness and welcome package including a homemade cake, jam and flowers made the stay even more enjoyable. The hot tub was perfect for stargazing and extremely relaxing.
Fantastic value lovely location welcome pack unbelievable chocolate cakes fresh scones milk butter and teacoffe sugar some really nice touches very well equipped will definitely be coming back . 2 minor faults was as your on a working farm there are flies so a fly zapper in the lodge would of been great to keep them at bay and the other thing would be some storage boxes under the bed for your clothes.
Very clean and well equipped. The welcome cakes were a lovely touch and we enjoyed them muchly. We also made us of the BnB's breakfast facilities. Perfect for relaxing and taking some time out, very peaceful surroundings. We would definitely return.
Lovely little cabin. Ben the property owner was kind. Lots of farm animals to interact with and watching the sunrise was the best. Get's a little hot at night so I'd suggest bringing a fan. Other than that it was fantastic
A really lovely break away from hustle and bustle of life. We could relax and take in farming life while appreciating wildlife and the animals around us, especially two hand reared lambs who were local residence and very friendly. Destination was very central to both kings Lyn and Swatham so great location too. The hot tub was a great addition and was also well maintained. Thank you to Diane and Ben who left a delicious handmade cake on our arrival along with scones, after a long travel up was perfect addition to a cup of tea. Truly relaxing experience.
Had an amazing time, its quiet, very private and felt very peaceful! Was simple to check in and out and the people that run it were very friendly. The cabin itself was very clean and tidy. Thank you

Pensthorpe Nature Reserve & Gardens - NR21 0LN
about 16 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.
Melsop Farm Park - NR20 3DT
about 18 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.
Dinosaur Adventure Park - NR9 5JW
about 23 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 26 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.
Bishops Boats Seal Trips - NR23 1RY
about 26 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.
