possibly the best lodge we have stayed in, the host`s were very accommodating and very friendly, the lodge itself was spotless when we arrived and with a little welcome pack, the location was idyllic but as a fisherman the lake was a bit of a let down, but with a fishery only half a mile down the road it was not a problem, if you go with children then they would love catching the small fish in the lake. Sykes you have done it again with this wonderful Norfolk retreat, we will most certainly return.

“Firstly, I will start with a ...”

Firstly, I will start with a positive - the actual farm was very picturesque with beautiful woodlands to walk through, was also within walking distance to the village shops. The cottage was very modern with everything you could ask for, as well as tastefully decorated. The family that run the farm are lovely and friendly. However, we found the cleanliness left a lot to be desired. Kitchen cupboards had clearly been wiped down with either a dirty or greasy cloth, leaving smear marks all over the highly glossed units. Dusty with cobwebs and spiders everywhere - I understand it’s a working farm, but a quick flick round with the feather duster in the crevices would have been ample. Finally, again - I understand it’s a working farm - but the flies there are a real problem! By the sounds of it it’s an annual problem too, in which case, maybe provide magnetic netting in the doors and windows to possibly alleviate this issue. We couldn’t open windows or doors without there being an influx of flies literally bombarding the rooms! With the weather being quite nice, we found this very unfortunate as it was quite hot and stuffy inside. We were supplied with fly spray, swats and fly tape but had to ask for these. I would like reiterate that the family that live on the farm are very friendly and helpful.

“We have rented many cottages in the ...”

We have rented many cottages in the UK and abroad and this cottage exceeded our expectations due to its facilities, clenliness and surroundings. We would have no hesitation in recommending this property.

“The cottage was very clean and ...”

The cottage was very clean and comfortable. However there was a serious lack of cooking utensils...only 2 small saucepans and only one of those had a lid. Also the cooks knives were extremely blunt to the point that they were unusable (wouldn't cutter butter comes to mind). There was also a lack of instructions as to how to use the equipment and instructions about refuse collection. Having said all that, we would go back again, taking our own knives etc. we had a very relaxing week even though the weather could have been better, but unfortunately we cannot book that, can we.

“A lovely comfortable cottage in ...”

A lovely comfortable cottage in quiet rural surroundings. Surrounded by 150 acres of farmland that you can walk in from the door, absolutely ideal for dog owners who want nice long walks through fields and woods. The cottage has an enclosed garden, but with all that space dogs will love walking outside. Nice comfy beds and chairs, lovely and warm( March) and lots of logs. I would thoroughly recommended Meadow View for a peaceful , quiet slice of rural Norfolk.

The property

This welcoming wooden detached bungalow is situated on the owners' delightful estate and working livestock farm, just a few minutes’ walk from the village centre of East Harling.

This lovely, well-presented property appeals to a couple or small family with access to many of Norfolk’s most popular attractions, including Thetford Forest, the city of Norfolk and the wonderful Norfolk Broads.

In a peaceful, tranquil spot, you enter this charming bungalow into a hallway with a storage cupboard to the right where the washing machine is located and then to the living areas, which consist of a kitchen/diner and a separate sitting room.

The kitchen is well-equipped with everything you need and is a place where you can rustle up an evening meal before everyone gathers around the dining table to discuss the day’s events.

After dinner, relax in the pleasant sitting room, where on cooler evenings you can light the woodburner and let your cares drift away, or on sunny days open the French doors in the kitchen that lead onto a patio area and lawned garden, where alfresco dining can be enjoyed.

On-site there’s a picnic area with thatched gazebo, set next to the River Thet, which runs through the grounds, plus there’s also a one acre fishing lake available for guests to use, and the remains of Old Harling Hall, once belonging to Henry the 7th’s chancellor can be seen on the estate.

You also have free shared use of the hot tub.

The South Norfolk village of East Harling has a 15th century church, market square and a range of amenities, including a shop, Post Office and two pubs.

Within reach are many places of interest, including market towns, forest walks, and further afield Norwich, the Norfolk Broads and the coast.

An excellent base for whatever you wish to see and do in the area.
