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!

Thursford is located midway between the towns of Fakenham and Holt and only six miles from Wells-next-the-Sea. 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.

Lovely cottage in Norfolk. Everything we needed, good amenities and location. Great space for a family of 4 (including a 4 and 7 year old) and 1set of grandparents
Fantastic property with a large living and dining area on the ground floor. Large garden with lots of wildlife including rabbits and deer!Great location for exploring North Norfolk.I wouldn't hesitate booking this property again in the future.
Great spacious property with amble room for all.
Perfect base to walk the North Norfolk costal path and visit many of the villages.
Would certainly stay here again.

We had a lovely week stay with family. The lodge is clean, spacious and very well equipped. Situated in a peaceful location with lots of wildlife to see and great access to the North Norfolk coast.
Location was perfect. House was lovely, very well equipped. Owner was very helpful recommending places to go. They also provided a slow cooker when we asked if the house has one. Hope to come back in the future
We stayed for just over a week and had a really good stay. The house was very clean, well equipped and the location is great for exploring north Norfolk. Spencer was helpful and very quick to respond to queries.

Thank you Sarah and please come and stay again soon!
Amazing location and property, it was incredibly clean and spacious yet cosy, communication with the owner was brilliant there were lots of lovely little touches at the property including fresh flowers and lots of games and a lovely big garden. Our family of 5 thoroughly enjoyed our week and hope to return.
Fabulous country lodge with everything you could need. Well set up, spacious and comfortable. Spencer, the owner was available remotely to deal with any questions we had. Check-in was smooth and problem freeThe small problem we had was fixed promptly by Spencer, thank you.Easy access to Fakenham and the surrounding areas, an ideal location. Incredibly quiet and peaceful.Other guests comments on the small faults have been drawn to Spencer's attention and I am quite sure will be remedied. He is a responsible and helpful owner. We would definitely book to stay there again.
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.
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.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house was in a lovely location, the children got so excited seeing the wildlife in the garden. There was lots of room, and the set up of the rooms and bathrooms was fantastic.
Great hosts and communication too. Will definitely return
A lovely house, in a lovely setting. We saw deer,pheasants,partridges and a hare in the garden. The house is well kitted out with everything you need. The rooms are large and bright. The beds are so comfortable. Would be happy to spend more holidays there!

Lovely House & Garden
Had lovely stay, inside sofas and beds/bedding needs updating. Showers dated and leaks repaired poorly and ugly. House would have been great around 3-4 years ago but for us the comfort factor wasn’t there sorry guys.
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
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.
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.
All the comments from people who stayed before us I can only retariate.House comfortable and spacious for seven.Garden for the children boys 9 and 11 brilliant,for grown ups very relaxing.Location ,,with car perfect.
The communication with Spencer was 1st class,any thing that we told him wasn't quite righthe rectified immediatly.
Für Deutscher familien die ein Urlaub im England antreten wollen,ich kann diesen Haus absolute rekemendieren.
