Southrepps Lodge

46 Customer Reviews

• "Southrepps Lodge is an excellent venue for a large reunion (there were 18 family members in our party), with a good many bedrooms and lounges (I am not sure we found them all), and it is well equipped (and with a snooker room, too)."

  The long drive from the gate to the house made us think we were arriving at Windsor Castle; and with quiet countryside and the sea within reach, as well as many of Norfolk's 600 medieval churches to explore, and local pubs offering Admans beer, what is there not to like?

  Thank you so much John for your lovely comments. I wish you and your family many more happy holidays together. Thank you for visiting Property Owner

• "Had a nice weekend thanks ' slightly disappointed that Sykes didn't mention ..."

  Had a nice weekend thanks ' slightly disappointed that Sykes didn't mention broken windows ' multiple radiators leaking and so many flies it was unbelievable and unbearable for the younger children who constantly stating weren't going to sleep in the property that cost a lot of money and really we should of been warned about the fly infestation

  I can only apologies about the flies. They come without warning and despite my best efforts I did not manage to rectify the problem. I did mention them upon your arrival and offered to attend whenever you wanted to hoover up etc. It is no help to you I know, but I have a specialist company coming this week to fog all the attic and roof spaces. The radiators arnt leaking. There are 2 rooms with rust marks under the valve where someone in the past had not bled them correctly. I have tried with no luck to remove them. They are historic stains and the radiators work perfectly. The rest of the carpets in those rooms are in a good clean condition. At some point in the future these carpets will be replaced but in a 24 roomed house there has to be a maintainence and replacement schedule. There are often problems which arise with equipment, heating, electrics which are attended to immediately. It is impossible to do everything at once Unfortunately a guest staying recently broke some of the small panes at the very top of the gothic head leaded windows. This window does not open. II secured them with clear plastic to make them safe and weatherproof. Due to the location of these damaged panes it would not have spoilt the view from the window. The property is grade 2 listed and everything has to be replaced correctly. It is in hand, the glass has to be specially cut to size and installed by a proffessional. It is not something that can be done by a handyman. It is also on the third floor and a scaffold tower is needed. I personally didn’t feel it was worth mentioning to Sykes as to me the window is being dealt with and the rust stains have always been there. On another note, you arrived with 2 dogs who weren’t mentioned when booking, you didn’t pay for them nor did you offer I am sorry if these issues spoilt your stay Julie Stevens Property manager Property Owner

• "This was a very impressive house approached by a lovely driveway."

  The house was very spacious and extremely quirky. The master suite was a joy to behold. It was enormous. The kitchen was also very efficient with 2 dishwashers and 2 fridge freezers to cope with all needs. There was plenty of safe outside space for children to play and a lovely walled courtyard that was perfect for barbeques. The only drawbacks we found were the bed in the master suite. I know it was a Victorian bed but it was so uncomfortable, very bouncy and it was impossible to tuck sheets in easily. Most of the bedrooms had efficient curtains to cut out the light but not all. One in particular at the top of the house had very thin curtains and our grandson was awake at 5am every morning. Overall it was a lovely house and I wish we had found it a few years ago when our grandchildren were a bit younger.

  Thank you for your comments. I am in the process of replacing the mattresses which need it. All other comments have been taken onboard and will be addressed. Unbeknown to me the cleaners had removed the mattress cover on the bed you mentioned hence the sheet would not stay on. This has now been rectified. Thank you for staying Property Owner

• "Brilliant property in great quiet location."

  Listed building so don’t expect everything to be brand new, but real character and nothing that put any of us off - a party of 10 lively 60+ pensioners. We would return tomorrow with our family, which includes small children and a dog. No problems with hot water or storage facilities. Wi-Fi was generally pretty good apart from in second floor bedrooms - but might be considered a bonus? Julie the managing agent was very helpful and lives close by if any problems.

  Thank you for your feedback and comments. I have tried to make the property homely, family and dog friendly and as you say, furniture is not high end by any means but then if the kids or dogs jump on it it doesn’t matter too much. I hope you return with your family, it will be lovely to see you again. Will look into a Wi-Fi booster Update…..2 boosters have been purchased Property Owner

• "Really lovely homely house with everything you could possibly need for your stay."

  The kitchen is so well equipped. The men loved the snooker room, the kids loved the space and the garden. Us ladies would have loved the hot tub but sadly that is not currently available. That would have been the cherry on the top I think. The house needs a little bit of TLC in places but its a lovely homely place for a stay with a large group of people. It just takes a little while to learn your way around!! Julie was really helpful and great to deal with. We would stay again.

  We had to make the decision to discontinue the hot tub option. This was due to it taking over 15 hours to get to temperature plus whatever cost to maintain that temperature for the duration of the guests stay. With the high energy prices, the owner decided to withdraw this service . Property Owner

• "Very large house - enough room to house everyone in our party and well equipped."

  House is an old house, could do with a rennovation, but the price paid was reasonable for what we got. They just put in a new boiler but hot water did still run out on occasions. Communication with Julie was good. There were soiled towels left in the property, which let down the cleanliness. We receieved an apology for this.

  After a busy season we have not had chance to do any renovations but top to bottom stairs have been decorated this week and both front lounges have new carpets ordered. Renovation is this huge property will be ongoing I did explain that the capacity of the hot water tanks will not sustain a large number of people bathing at the same time so best to stagger ie morning and evening Thank you for staying Property Owner

  Plenty of cutlery, crockery etc as places that scrimp mean you use the dishwasher more. Loads of kitchen equipment. Enough room to get lost in and a great place for kids. We hired the hot tub and snooker room. Julie was excellent being there when we arrived and departed and contacted us midweek stay. Location is excellent being close to the beach, walking and the Broads. Used The Canoe Man for a trip down the River Bure well worth it.

  We had a group of 10 adults and 10 children ranging from 15 to 2 years. We were all very comfortable and the in house facilities catered for all our needs. The grounds were also fantastic and we all enjoyed a hugely enjoyable game of cricket. The lodge is steeped in history and exploring when arrive is very enjoyable.

  13 of us stayed for the weekend to celebrate my husbands 50th birthday. Unfortunately, the weather wasn't on our side, so we didn't get to explore outside, but the snooker table was well used as was the open fire in the front room. The whole house enables everyone to gather together whether it's to play games, eat or annoy the person cooking by standing around in the kitchen! But also has plenty of rooms if you want a bit of peace and quiet. House was very well equipped. Julie, the housekeeper, is very friendly and helpful answering all the questions we asked. Would love to go back someday.

  The kitchen was very well equipped and allowed our party to congregate and chat whilst meals were being prepared. There was a selection of sitting rooms providing quiet space when required and lots of nooks and crannies for the children to play hide and seek. The house was warm (lovely log fires) and beautifully decorated for Christmas. Thanks Julie. We paid extra for the snooker room, which proved great fun for all ages. Some wonderful local walks, though very muddy at this time of the year. A short drive to Cromer (fish and chips) and Mundesley (lovely walk along the beach). Wells-next-the-sea is well worth a visit (though about an hour's drive). Outstanding beaches and lovely coffee shop. Would highly recommend this property.

  We did however run out of oil for heating and it was sorted by Julie very quickly. The only negative was that the kitchen had poor cleanliness ie..coffee filter had filthy mouldy coffee in the machine which had to be cleaned and bleached before use. The dishwasher both had food leftovers in the machine filters and the bottom of the washer and the cooker smoked as had bad oil stains from a roast that smoked out the kitchen on turning on the eletric oven twice. I did have photos taken in case u needed them of the dishwashers. The grounds and the actual house was amazing and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and it was well equipped for open fires each night and warm. To improve the kitchen facilities large tins or baking dishes for shepherds pie/lasagne and sharp small knives for veg ...would up the quality of the facilities. We would return so it was not bad by any means and we brought large dishes and hot pot as we asked beforehand and have found this in most large houses. Such a big family to feed! The only misleading facilities which did not state in the advertising was the payment for the snooker room and the spa hot tub which is not included and has to be self organised and paid for if want to bring in.
