Had a fantastic break at Erica Lodge, the marina location was great with many handy facilities and some great walks along the canal. The lodge is dig friendly and there is a huge walking field just across the path from the lodge and there is a fully enclosed veranda.The lodge itself was spotlessly clean and had everything we needed and more, there was also a lovely welcome hamper too.The only downside is that you a very close to EMA and the DHL planes taking off during the night will disturb you if you are a light sleeper.That said I would definitely stay here again!
