In a quiet location with exposed beams, cosy wood burner and private use of a hot tub (by arrangement), there really is nothing more you could need for a perfect break. Some guests may choose not to venture far, instead deciding to relax in their private garden, or perhaps book themselves in for a spa treatment at the on site spa (at cost), where refreshments are also available.
Those wishing to explore the area will have chosen well with so much to see and do nearby. The university city of Cambridge offers numerous museums, including the famous Fitzwilliam, lots of walking tours, including university routes, punting, shopping and great places to eat. You should also make time for the open top bus tour, which gives an insight into the history of this fascinating city. And, why not take a trip to Norwich with its impressive Norman castle overlooking a fine city full of attractions and things to do? History buffs will also enjoy a visit to the Hanseatic Old Quarter of Kings Lynn, The Royal Sandringham Estate or the Imperial War Museum, Duxford, which offers up an impressive collection detailing the history of aviation, including several aircraft. In fact, this may well be your only chance now to say that you’ve been on Concorde!
For a change of pace and some refreshing sea air, you can be in Hunstanton in less than an hour. Here you will find a wide sandy beach that seems to go on forever, a small funfair, a Sealife Centre, Norfolk Lavender and lots of seaside shops and cafes. Closer to home lies the bustling city of Ely with its impressive cathedral, nicknamed ‘The ship of the Fens’ because of the way it rises up on the horizon. Here you will find a fascinating stained glass museum, which offers a rare insight to this beautiful art form.
Bustling Newmarket is close by and offers a famous racecourse which often hosts musical entertainment evenings. For breathtaking countryside, visit Thetford Forest with its numerous walks and cycle routes, and its Go Ape centre, featuring tree walks, zip wires and Tarzan swings. And, after all your adventures, you can head back to Wood Fen Lodges, unwind, relax (perhaps in the hot tub?) and dream of places yet to see. Just perfect! Shop 1 mile, pub and restaurant 2 miles.

We did enjoy our holiday and my friend found the cottage really good. It was clean and well equipped and the welcome pack was excellent. The owners were helpful but not intrusive.The oven was difficult to use as all the number markings have gone.I had the smaller bedroom which is definitely small. The wardrobe space was difficult with the heating controls in half of it so it's difficult to hang clothes. There were shelves but no drawer space. The bathroom was small too so it wasn't easy to find a good spot for the toilet roll! The outside space was lovely when the sun came out. (Be aware the road is surprisingly busy so can be bit noisy)My friend enjoyed the hot tub but the spa closed last year so that needs to be removed from the description.

Reed lodge is a traditional furnished, comfy, clean cottage, a home from home and had everything you may need for self catering. Ideally situated for us, rural, parking available and places of interest not too far away.

We were delighted with Reed Cottage. It has been very well appointed, and maintained. The welcome pack was most appreciated. Our purpose was to relax, with occasional days out. This place was perfect.
