SANDRA HARRISON
Just spent a week at Lodge Barn Farm wirh a family group of eight spanning four generations. The place was well above expectations providing everything we needed. We could have family time in the open plan kitchen/ living area but also quiet time in the lounge at the end of the property. Every room has its unique character with furniture to match. The hot tub was great at the end of the day followed by playing games that were also provided. The location was excellent with most attractions within 30 mins travelling. Overall this was a great place and we thoroughly enjoyed staying there. We would not hesitate to use this cottage again should the occasion arise.

I would definitely recommend Lodge Farm Barns for a family holiday. We spent four days here with 6 Adults and 4 children. The place was beautiful, clean and well stocked in the kitchen with everything imaginable.. Everything you could need in a family home was there. Lots of safe areas to play outside for the young children. For the adults a hot tub and we let the children join with supervision. Although Lodge Farm is next to the road you do hear the traffic from the bedroom side of the house as it’s nearer to the road, but it was not a problem The rest of the house is quiet. The family enjoyed the table tennis, darts/ dartboard and basketball in the barn at the side of the house. All in all we had a fabulous long weekend and the family all agreed that we would love to come back again sometime in the future .

We had a family holiday at Lodge Farm Barn, 6 adults and 4 children aged 6, 5, 3 & 2, three generations, and we all thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The 3 year old is still asking to go back to our holiday home as she wants to go in the hot tub! We were all taken aback at the sheer size of the place, as we've never stayed anywhere that big before. The kitchen was very well equipped and had everything we needed. We mainly used the kitchen/day room as it was cosy and a central place to hang out in, and enough seating for all us adults in the evening. The children were very happy to have such a large place to play in and enjoyed playing in the library area mostly. The front garden was also a great play area for them as long as there was an adult with them, and the inner garden perfect as it was fully enclosed and safe for them. The bedrooms and bathrooms were plentiful and suited our needs. If I had to say anything negative, then the conservatory area is cold this time of year, which wasn't a problem if you kept the doors closed, but the little ones were going back & forth, leaving the doors open. Some of the bathrooms had carpet in, which from a hygiene point of view, wasn't ideal. Neither of these small negatives would stop us from returning however, as we all had a fab time - plenty of room for us all and in a great location being handy for the Broads and Great Yarmouth. We left the barn clean and tidy and I got my security deposit back quickly. We were all sad to leave as we all enjoyed spending family time together.
