Located in Norwich, Norfolk, this charming modern cottage known as The Lodge offers a delightful retreat for families seeking to explore the beautiful East of England. Nestled behind the owners’ residence within a spacious half-acre garden, The Lodge is designed for tranquility and comfort. It features a sunny gravelled courtyard that separates it from the main house and an adjacent raised walled lawn area, ideal for enjoying afternoon tea. The cottage benefits from a dedicated parking bay, ensuring guests can enjoy a peaceful stay while being conveniently located away from the road.
The Lodge accommodates up to four guests with its two well-appointed bedrooms—a ground-floor twin room and a first-floor king-size room, making it perfect for small families. Guests can easily access the lodge via a path at the back of the owner’s house, with the option to drive up for unloading luggage. Inside, the cottage boasts ample storage space, including a spacious wardrobe and cupboard area, allowing visitors to keep their belongings organized, whether they're packing for a beach trip to Great Yarmouth or other local adventures.
The interior of The Lodge is tastefully decorated, reflecting the owner’s background in the hotel industry. The spacious lounge features large patio doors that invite in fresh air, creating a bright and inviting atmosphere. A lovely dining area is available for enjoying home-cooked meals, complemented by a fully equipped kitchen for preparing family favorites. Additionally, the first-floor dressing table beneath a skylight offers a cozy spot to start the day with a cup of tea, merging traditional charm with modern design.
Beyond the comforts of The Lodge, guests can explore the local area, including the charming village of Long Stratton, which boasts a range of shops, pubs, and tea rooms. A short drive leads to the vibrant city of Norwich, rich in history with its outstanding cathedral, galleries, and museums. For beach lovers, nearby destinations like Great Yarmouth, Lowestoft, and Southwold are easily accessible, along with the scenic Norfolk Broads and the picturesque north coast towns of Cromer and Sheringham. With so much to offer, The Lodge at Orchard House serves as a perfect base for a memorable family holiday in Norfolk.
