Wagtail Lodge Reviews

We had a fantastic weekend and would highly recommend the location. We are not fishers, but felt very comfortable amongst those that were. We booked our break as a last minute thing as we were after some time away from it all. We certainly managed to achieve this, the peace and tranquility we experienced was fantastic, the surroundings are beautiful. We spent many hours out on the decking watching the fish in the lake or in the hot tub with a glass of wine. Will and Sarah were fabulous hosts and did make us feel very welcome, they were very friendly and visible. We booked Wagtail lodge and found it to be very clean inside and comfortable. The furniture and linen are good quality and the dishwasher and washer dryer were only a couple of the great additional facilities. We would certainly return for another stay. We gave 4 stars as some minor visual wear and tear which is to be expected, as the lodges aren't new marking to the outside base of the shower, discoloration to areas over hot tub, outside decking worn in areas, but the experience itself was 5 star for us personally.

Suffolk Owl Sanctuary - IP28 6HX

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.

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

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.

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.
