We went to Garden Lodge with our toddler, baby and parents. Accommodation was spacious, attractive and very well kept. Lovely gardens too. What made it stand out was the pool and hot tub. The owners were very helpful before, during and after our stay. Location was excellent - short drive to beaches, broads, and tourist attractions such as Bewilderwood. Perfect family holiday |

Garden Lodge is situated in the very quiet village of North Burlingham with some lovely woodland walks just 5 minutes away and a fishing lake next door. There are plenty of attractions around and about within a half hour drive including the Broads and some excellent beaches. But there really is no need to leave the excellent swimming pool or the hot tub or not make the most of the spacious gardens. Andy and Rachael, the owners, live next door and were always on hand to provide any help or assistance, although the property was very well equipped and laid out and the need to call on them was minimal. This is a great place to go especially for large groups or where several children need to be entertained. We would thouroughly recommend it. |

A first class property ideally suited to large groups, including young children. The beautiful large garden was ideal for games and the pool and hot tub were just right after a day out. Good location for a range of parks, the Broads and the coast. |
