We holiday a lot along the coasts of Norfolk and Suffolk and can honestly say this was one of the best holidays we’ve had. The lodge was a perfect size for us and lacked for nothing. The site that Mallard Lodge stands on is convenient for walks to the beach, local shops and pubs. Larger shops are only 10 mins away. We would definitely go back and would highly recommend to anyone

We enjoyed our time in Mallard. The lodge was well kept, clean and comfortable. Location was good as it was a short walk to a pub, shop and the beach and only a short drive away from the two larger towns of Great Yarmouth and Lowestoft. Only downside was, as mentioned in other reviews, the WiFi didn’t work at all and we found the phone signal to be poor for mobile data so were very disconnected!

Lovely place to stay. Quiet and relaxing. Comfortable and clean. Problems with WiFi. Downside was the rubbish on the roadside of the lodge.
