This spacious lodge on a beautiful farm is an absolute find for large families or groups of friends in search of a peaceful location where they have enough space to truly relax and unwind or celebrate a special occasion. Set down a quiet country lane on the outskirts of the idyllic village of Thursford (1 mile), it’s a great place to enjoy all the peace of country living – while still being within a 7 miles of lively towns like Fakenham and Holt. Spend a wonderful afternoon checking out Thursford’s unique Thursford Collection (0.5 miles) – a fabulous attraction that showcases a whole plethora of vintage fairground rides, mechanical organs and steam engines. Or grab your hiking boots and take a beautiful stroll at Thursford Wood (1 mile), a Medieval wood pasture that’s home to some of the oldest trees in England. Head into the pretty Georgian town of Holt (7 miles) to browse the shops and tearooms in its hidden flint stone yards – they’re just overflowing with charm – or to market town of Fakenham (7 miles) to experience all the thrill of a day at the races at its historic racecourse. Further afield, head to Cromer (17 miles) to enjoy some traditional seaside fun and dine on some delicious Cromer crab.

Step inside this gorgeous lodge and you’ll be immediately impressed by the scale of this spacious property. The open-plan living space consists of a light and bright kitchen/dining area and a welcoming sitting area with doors leading out to the south-facing veranda. Cook up a storm for your loved ones in the stylish kitchen area and get everyone together to eat at the large dining table, before heading to the smart sitting area to chill out in front of the wood burner. On this floor you’ll also find a handy utility room and cloakroom, as well as a chic double bedroom with an en-suite wet room. Head up to the first floor and you’ll find three more lovely bedrooms to choose from – two doubles and a twin. One of the doubles has an en-suite shower rooms and French doors that lead out to a beautiful feature balcony. A chic family bathroom completed the first-floor layout.

Outside you’ll find a wonderful lawned garden and patio, so fire up the BBQ and get everyone together to make some memories as you dine alfresco together around the outdoor dining table.

As a family we were glad to return again to this very spacious, light and airy, comfortable lodge. Situated in a peaceful location at the very end of a winding private road with lawn areas surrounding the property, a perfect place to relax and unwind. We found this an ideal property for the 3 generations of our family with the convenience of a grouRead morend floor bedroom containing an en-suite shower room designed for those who may be less physically able. We enjoyed a very happy family holiday at Foden Lodge. Hide

House was in a very quiet and peaceful location and we enjoyed our stay. One problem was there was no shop or pup within walking distance and you needed a car to get there.
