The lodge was a bit hidden, and we drove past it initially due to a discrepancy with the sat nav. However, this was not a major issue and did not detract from our overall experience.

We had a wonderful stay at this lovely lodge! From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by how clean and tidy everything was. The lodge is nice and spacious, offering plenty of room to relax and enjoy our time away. The host was fantastic, providing us with excellent recommendations for local attractions and dining options. Their warm hospitality really made our stay special. A delightful surprise was the provision of a dog bowl and biscuits for our Dog, made us feel even more welcome. The lovely spacious garden was perfect for our dog to explore and for us to enjoy the serene surroundings. We also had the pleasure of seeing local wildlife, including deer and pheasants, which added to the charm of our stay. Overall, our experience was exceptional, and we can't wait to return!

Lovely lodge with a very nice bucolic character, proper of Norfolk countryside but close to everything you need. The sky at night is lit with just stars as if you were camping in a remote area and you wake up to the chirping of birds in the morning making you forget you are just 20’ away from the centre of Norwich. The lodge is situated in the garden of the main house but with enough privacy and with everything thing you need. Spacious and very comfortable, has a cozy lounge with a nice TV and loads of board games, a separate dining room, a kitchen fully equipped and a laundry room. The beds are amazingly comfortable and the two full bathrooms are ideal for a stay of a larger family. The area outside is very pretty - we saw many pheasants and even a small dear greeted us one morning. Ah, and the trampoline was very big plus for our daughter! We stayed for 3 nights but could have happily stayed longer. Perfect for us as a family of 5 with 3 children aged 15, 11 and 8. We will certainly come back when we’re in the area again!

Floors very creaky & noisy (woke the children up when we went to bed) and none of the doors seemed to close& lock securely.

Lovely cabin, lovely comfortable beds, nice outside space- we loved the property

Third stay so very little we don't like. It was exceptionally hot and we could have used a fan. But this has never been an issue before. The doors are difficult to lock with a key but bolt easily. My parents are in their 80s and this confused them a bit, thinking it wasn't secure. We would have liked some dishwasher tablets to have been available as buying a box for 4 days was a bit of a pain so remember to pack some.

This is our third stay and love it here. So peaceful in a rural location. Lots of wildlife. They have improved the garden area with the lodge so now dog safe for our small dog. The paddock and surround are well tended in zones the rest allowing for wildlife. Perfect in my opinion. Beds comfortable. Great bathrooms (x2) well supplied kitchen.

Absolutely nothing.

Chestnuts Garden Lodge was in a quiet location on the border of Tharston and Long Stratton in South Norfolk. It was very spacious. There were three bedrooms, enough for 5 sleeping kids/adults, two bathrooms, a living room, a diner/living room, a very well stocked kitchen and a utility room. There was a microwave, washing machine, dishwasher, fridge, freezer, oven and hob. A covered patio with a fenced garden for kids to play in. Fields to walk your dog in. Very dog friendly. Lots of board games for the kids. 2 TV's and Wifi. Best self catered accommodation we've ever stayed in. Apart from our apartment in Bulgaria. Local Coop in Long Stratton is very good.

It was very quiet and relaxing. Lauren met us when we pulled up and told us the keys were in the door inside. She told us that if we needed anything just to ask. I left some personal feedback for her, which didn't offend her
