Tranquil Location and perfect family holiday home

This is a beautifully presented detached family house situated in a quiet and very private woodland setting. The house was built in 2006 in a barn conversion style and was specifically designed by the owners to be ideal for their own family holidays with their children and their friends. As such it is ideally laid out with an excellent balance of open plan living space and comfortable, well proportioned bedrooms. As a 'home from home' the house has a very high standard of furniture and equipment throughout and there are plenty of games and DVDs to ensure that there is still plenty to do for adults and children alike on those odd days that the weather spoils your plans. There are two sets of large patio doors leading off the main reception room, the largest of which leads out onto a full width covered patio area and enormous south facing garden beyond. As such this room is wonderfully light and airy during the summer months but with the deep leather Chesterfield sofas and log burner it can also become warm and snug in the winter. In all it is the perfect year round holiday house!

It is an excellent location for a holiday, offering visitors the chance to enjoy the peace and quiet of a rural setting but also providing easy access to the many attractions in the area. The village is best known for the Thursford Collection, but is also home to Thursford Wood, a medieval wood pasture containing some of the oldest trees in the country.
During your stay at this holiday home, you'll be close to The Shrine of Our Lady of Walsingham. The holiday home offers a kitchen and a fireplace.

60th celebration
Location excellent for visiting several destinations. Property warm and has all facilities but is let down by its tired state. Sofas extremely uncomfortable which made it hard to relax together. Outside looked really untidy with outside lights not working. It is such a shame as the property has real potential but in need of attention throughout

Good base for an interesting region
The house is exactly as described so suited our group well. Local area actually has some great places to visit - Langham Glass in Fakenham , the North Norfolk Railway not to mention the Thursford Collection virtually next door ! We divided our time between the garden and trips out (the seal watching was fabulous) . Good local restaurants too. Overall a really pleasing stay.

Relaxing stay in great location
Had a fantastic week in Easter holidays. We were 2 families of 4, and there was plenty of room. Bedrooms were good size and beds were really comfy. Kitchen very well equipped - and also looked well set up for families with younger children too. Family space was great, nice big garden. Lovely tranquil setting - we enjoyed spotting the pheasants and deer in the garden. Great location - close to some gorgeous beaches and local attractions. Nearby Thai takeaway from local pub was very good. One thing to note - property description says there is a hot tub and this is not correct. It was not something that we would have used anyway though, so not a problem. TV reception sometimes a bit patchy, but again this did not really bother us. Overall, a great stay in a great location.

Location and house overall nice
Nice peaceful location within easy driving distance of main attractions. Good size property, lots of space for large family to spread out, plus decent sized areas to relax or eat in the lounge and dining areas. Well equipped, including BBQ, extra fridge, garden games, and dvds etc. Only a few minor things in need of attention to make this swiss style chalet into a five star.

Wonderful stay
The house was in an ideal location with lots of things to do nearby for adults/children. The house itself was well looked after with a lovely garden area and trampoline which was well used by the children. The house itself was very child friendly with safety gates provided, a cot, high chairs and toys. When contacted, the owners were quick to reply. Unfortunately, one shower could not be used as the door was wedged shut but this was communicated to the owners. The overall cleanliness of the property was very good but the showers could have been a little cleaner. Would definitely return again, thank you very much for our stay!

Had a lovely quiet and peaceful stay, in this lovely house, everything you could possible need was available to use Including washing machine, children’s outside games. Excellent location for visiting all the lovely picturesque villages and coastlines along the Norfolk coast. If anything a negative, the downstairs shower room is in need of updating, upstairs is immaculate. Just another idea, is a sign as you come down north road to say turn right for lodges.

Great cottage in a lovely quiet location
The property was big and fitted 7 in without everyone being on top of one another. The water was hot and plentiful for everyone and once the heater kicked in it was warm and toasty. We had a Muntjac deer and barn owls as guests and loved watching them in the garden and even got a glimpse of a baby deer. The only downside was the ensuite shower, as the showerhead needed replacing as it was a trickle. But other than that a great place to stay.

Tranquil & relaxing stay
Really enjoyed staying at Sentinel Lodge - it was myself & my wife (plus mum for a few days) there was plenty of room for more guests but it was nice to have the luxury of plenty of space. All facilities were very good as were comms with the host. The area is very quiet and peaceful but would possibly be a little isolated without a car…with one it was easy to reach lots of towns & villages with various sites of interest.
