Oak Tree Lodge Reviews

Hayley
We had a fantastic weekend away and loved the house! 2 things I would just mention, are it would've been useful to have full size bin bags for all our rubbish and a note to say what to do with bedding and towels on the day of departure. Also a shelfshower caddy would be good so you have somewhere to put your bottles whilst in the shower. We would definitely return again, it was perfect for our girls chilled out weekend
Lovely, spacious cottage with its own garden for relaxing. Within easy reach of the Norfolk Broads, coastline, Norwich and other attractions. Quiet and relaxing place. Great hosts and very much appreciated welcome pack of milk, wine and biscuits. Very comfortable bed andsoras. We would happily come back this Oasis. Many thanks for returning the item we left.
Charles
This the 3rd family visit to the cottage and each visit was better than the previous. We would like to thank Alison for a great time, maybe a 4th visit could be on the cards next year.
Your website states this is a single storey dwelling. There are in fact 2 lovely bedrooms upstairs! We has a great week, the hot tub was well used, and Oak Tree Lodge was an excellent base. Simon and Alison went above and beyond to ensure we had a good week. The house had everything we needed and more, was spotlessly clean, and was very comfortable. Should we be in the area again, we wouldnt hesitate to return.
Richard
Some general maintenance required internally i. E. Washing machine door Upstairs bathroom door Simple instruction to override heating up or down would be useful. More side tables required I.e. nest of tables
Madeline
Oaktree Lodge was a lovely cottage. Quiet and peaceful and had everything you could possibly need. The hosts were approachable and friendly but not intrusive. Would definitely return and recommend.
We had a lovely family holiday to Norfolk, staying here for the second time . This time returning with our two children . We loved how close local beaches were and enjoyed a fantastic day at Bewilderwood ideal for little people . The hot tub was lovely to go home to and relax in , in the evening . Thankyou for a lovely place to stay .
Great cottage, very spacious and lovely hot tub. The hosts were very nice and approachable. Perfect location for exploring Norfolk with lots of options just half an hour away.
Beatrix
We had such a wonderful short break! We absolutely loved relaxing in the hot tub and hanging out in the spacious living room. Knowing that the hot tub was checked daily gave us peace of mind. The holiday home is conveniently located near Norwich and the Broads, making it an ideal spot to explore. Everything was impeccably clean. The welcome pack was a lovely gesture.
We had a problem the first night in opening the tri door in the lounge and the French Window in the downstairs bedroom. I'm pleased to say we phoned Alison who instantly came round and addressed the problem. The lodge was spotless and the hot tub was superb.
Great cottage and delivered exactly what it stated. Thank you very much.
Yvonne
Great holiday home, very clean, everything we needed was supplied including towels for the hot tub. It was very difficult to find as the turn off is in a lay by. The garden could do with some maintenance and the gutters were in need of cleaning out. Would still highly recommend as the lodge was perfect.
This property is excellent condition and value . We have been coming now for many years and definitely will be back.
Louise
The cottage is beautiful, wonderful space and decorated lovely. The beds are comfortable, everything works and you have everything youd need, including extra towels for the hot tub. Having a downstairs bedroom and bathroom Is perfect for those with mobility issues. Great location for exploring and not a long drive from the coast. The owner was lovely and friendly, checking we had all we needed at the beginning of our trip and that wed enjoyed ourselves at the moment. We plan on returning and have been recommending to our friends and family.
Robert
Wonderfull place very relaxing hope we can go back soron!
Great Hot tub and had several nights with real log fire Mmmm
We had a wonderful time at Oak Tree Cottage, only wish we could have stayed longer. The fire and the hot tub were very welcome in the colder weather. The house was very clean and the kitchen extremely well equipped for home cooking. We had a Sunday lunch at the White Horse nearby, which was lovely booking advised. There is a countryside walk past a beautiful church to get to the pub, although we drove. Would definitely recommend this for a small family, there's even a bedroom downstairs for grandparents or for parents to escape older children upstairs. There is a lovely wide shower and a huge bath in the downstairs bathroom and a roomy ensuite upstairs. We loved our short break here and would very much recommend to others.
A very spacious holiday let very comfortable the hot tub was very welcoming After a long day exploring would return.
A delightful property for a holiday break, and will definitely be our first choice for another stay in this area. Owner, Alison, was promptly on hand for any little issues we had and clearly keen that we had a good holiday. The location was perfect for us, within easy driving distance to the majority of North Norfolk attractions.
Lovely bungalow very clean and comfortable, the enclosed garden and hot tub were ideal. and the hosts were very helpful but unobtrusive. would highly recommend.
Pauline
Had a fabulous time in Oak Tree Lodge. Everything was just right apart from constantly bumping my head on the sloped ceilings in the twin bedroom. If the walls were painted a different colour to the ceiling this may help. The hot tub was great and was checked daily. Would highly recommend.
Very nice lodge but not 5 stars
A fabulous cottage in a lovely location. Light and airy on warm days, and the walled private garden was so nice to be able to enjoy without being overlooked. The cottage was very well furnished and equipped, and spotlessly clean. The hosts were excellent too available but unobtrusive. Would definitely go back.
Oak Tree Lodge is a lovely place and as a base for exploring the North East Coast of Norfolk. Alison the owner was very helpful. The lodge is finished to a very high specification and the hot tub being electric and running continually is the icing on the cake. If you needwant to be up that end of Norfolk... get the lodge booked. You won't have any regrets.
Suzanne
Absolute gem of a property. Much thought has been given by the owners to provide a true home from home experience. We will definitely be going back
The cottage was lovely and beyond our expectations, rooms were spacious and very clean. Not to mention the hot tub was fantastic! Highly recommend and would stay again
Maureen
What a beautiful cottage Oak Tree Lodge is. Very spacious, extremely comfortable and delightful rooms with everything you could need for a holiday. The host was very good at communicating with us about our arrival and we found the cottage to be very clean, tidy, very well equipped and welcoming. We could not fault it. We would highly recommend it.
Jillian
An excellent cottage ,very comfortable in every aspect and spotless. Facilities including hot tub and walk in shower were an added bonus. Hosts Alison and Simon were very helpful and informative on the local area We were 3 generations and all 3 found this an excellent base for the Broads and Norwich.The back garden is very private with patio furniture and hot tub. I would happily recommend this cottage and will certainly return.

Comfortable 5 night stay. Spacious accommodation, good location for most of Norfolk and especially Norwich, the broads and the North.
Jeanette
This is a delightful cottage and I would highly recommend. Had a lovely relaxing break with friends. The hosts were fabulous.
Oak Tree Lodge is a lovely base to explore Norfolk the owners were very helpful from start to finish updating us with the time we could get in on the Friday and with information about the area its easy to miss the entrance from the main road as it looks like a layby but once you've missed it once you don't do it again there's ample parking for 3 cars The House is very well equipped and with the underfloor heating even though its an open plan design and high ceilings it was incredibly warm over a cold March weekend There was a log fire made up and ready to go we had no need to light it as it was lovely and cosy There is everything you need here for up to 6 people the hot tub is an added bonus and considering the price charged is a great extra even though it was chilly outside we did use this a couple of days and just run back indoors but would suggest bringing dressing gowns The kitchen is full of useful things and it all worked we've been away a a group of 6 many times and sometimes this is not always the case ! ! There's a good size TV and aHi fi which you can connect Ipods or phones too Would highly recommend this property
Barbara
This property is superb, we try and come every year, love it! !
Rae-louise
Had another great stay at Oak Tree Lodge. Owner very friendly and checked on the hut tub each day always asking if it was a good time to come and check it. Great location if you want to go out for the day or just cozy up all week. We miss the log burner already!
We had a lovely few days here , lovely cottage and hot tub was great . The owners on hand if needed I would definitely recommend
Michael
Oak Tree Lodge is a lovely property spacious and clean with all the amenities you could need, including the hot tub which is a great addition, enjoyed by all the family. We were very well looked after by Alison and Simon, who couldn't have been more helpful. The Lodge is very well located, we found we were able to get anywhere in Norfolk within half an hour or less. There are some great pubs nearby the White Horse in particular is a pleasant ten minute walk across the common. There is a big Tesco not far away, which is also next to the park and ride for Norwich, which we found very useful. I note that a previous reviewer complained about the flies, but we didn't find it a problem Alison has installed an electric fly zapper and provided fly swatters which took care of it. At the end of the day, it's the countryside in high summer you are going to get a few insects! Highly recommend Oak Tree Lodge.
We had a lovely week at Oak Tree Lodge. It was lovely and clean on arrival and the welcome gifts were very thoughtful. Loved the hot tub. Very private garden. Everything has been thought about and we would definitely recommend staying here. Alison the owner was very friendly and helpful and there if you need anything.

Attractions Near Oak Tree Lodge

While there'll be plenty to keep you entertained an Oak Tree 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!
Bewilderwood - NR12 8JW
about 4 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 9 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.
Sheringham Park - NR26 8TL
about 17 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.
Melsop Farm Park - NR20 3DT
about 19 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.
Pensthorpe Nature Reserve & Gardens - NR21 0LN
about 20 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.
Pleasurewood Hills Theme Park - NR32 4TZ
about 21 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.
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.
Bishops Boats Seal Trips - NR23 1RY
about 22 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.
Africa Alive - NR33 7TF
about 24 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.
