"We had an absolutely lovely stay at Otters Mead. Mary Ann and Gary really went out of their way to make us and the kids feel at home. The lodge was spotless and had everything we needed. The hot tub and fairy lights added a lovely touch. Plenty of activities nearby for the children too. Can't wait to come back!"

"We had such a lovely stay at this lodge! The place was spotlessly clean and felt really peaceful, perfect for unwinding. The host greeted us warmly, with fresh flowers and some welcome treats like milk, wine, tea, coffee and even shampoo and conditioner - a really nice touch. We stayed in Mead 2, which comfortably sleeps four with two bedrooms. The master bedroom was spacious, with an en-suite shower, a double bed, a walk-in wardrobe and even a TV, dressing table and hairdryer - all really handy. The second bedroom was a twin, also with a good wardrobe, dressing table and TV. The shared bathroom had a bath, which was great. The kitchen had everything we needed for a family of four, including a dishwasher and a washer-dryer, so no worries about laundry or dirty dishes. They even thought about plastic glasses for around the hot tub, which was a lovely addition. Speaking of the hot tub, it was tucked away at the back, super private and perfect for relaxing in the evening with fairy lights twinkling. The Wi-Fi worked perfectly, which was great for planning our days out. Theres plenty to do nearby - lovely pubs for meals and a day trip to Norwich (about 40 mins drive) and Great Yarmouth (around an hour) for some seaside fun. We stayed for four nights from Bank Holiday Monday and felt totally relaxed. Would definitely recommend and were already thinking of booking again!"

"We spent five days at Mead Two and honestly, it was a lovely stay. The welcome pack caught us off guard in a good way - way more stuff than we expected, which meant we didnt have to pack half as much. The lodge itself felt like a proper home, super comfy and fully kitted out with everything we needed. The onsite shop was handy too, with pretty decent prices on essentials. Meeting the owners on both arrival and departure was a real plus - theyre genuinely friendly folks. We all had such a great time and were definitely planning to come back. Would highly recommend this place for a chilled break!"

"We had such a great stay! The lodge was spotless and super comfy. Everything we needed for a relaxing self-catering getaway was there. Perfect location too, surrounded by beautiful scenery. Highly recommend it!"
David - Feb 2020
"Honestly, we were really impressed with how spotless everything was - its such a change from places that feel a bit neglected. The small business vibe really shows, as you can tell the owners genuinely care about your stay. Some small suggestions: having a second key would be handy and clearer instructions for the fire and boiler would help. Spare pillows and blankets would be a bonus and a dressing gown for the hot tub would be lovely. Also, itd be great if the fridge was turned on when we arrived and if there was a recycling bin provided. Overall, quite a lovely stay!"

"We stayed at the lodge recently and honestly, it was a lovely experience. The place looked almost br and new, super clean and everything was in perfect working order. The towels, linen and gowns provided were top-notch, making us feel really pampered. Its quite spacious too, which was great. The heating was easy to control, so we were always cosy and we loved the electric fire with the big TV and DVD player for chill-out evenings. The kitchen was well stocked, though with plates and cutlery for two, we didnt really need to use the dishwasher much. Overall, its a fantastic spot for two exploring Norfolk - wed definitely recommend it as a comfy base!"

"We stayed at this holiday home recently and honestly, it felt like new inside-spotlessly clean and really well kept. The owner, Gary, was super friendly and always ready to help, which made our weekend even better. We had a tiny hiccup with the hot tub, but he sorted it out quickly. The little touches like the complimentary wine, toiletries and tea/coffee made a real difference compared to other places we've stayed. The site is still evolving, so its only going to improve. Wed definitely come back!"

"A great place to stay. The location is great and very central so nowhere is too far. The lodge had everything we needed, was really clean and beautifully presented. The hot tub was well used by us all. The only thing that we would like to see added is a couple of recliner type chairs at the back by the tub as it was the only shady spot! The owners were very welcoming and helpful."
