“We had a wonderful week at Lyons ...”

We had a wonderful week at Lyons Green. There were 4 adults and 3 children and Ben the dog. The house was very comfortable with plenty of room for us to spread out. The surroundings are very rural and beautiful. The two ponds were lovely with lots of wildlife. The carp are huge. It is a great spot for exploring Norfolk and we managed to get to Cromer, Norwich, Melsop Farm, Sandringham, Swaffham and Kings Lynn.

We had a wonderful week at Lyons Green. There were 4 adults and 3 children and Ben the dog. The house was very comfortable with plenty of room for us to spread out. The surroundings are very rural and beautiful. The two ponds were lovely with lots of wildlife. The carp are huge. It is a great spot for exploring Norfolk and we managed to get to Cromer, Norwich, Melsop Farm, Sandringham, Swaffham and Kings Lynn. The weather was very kind to us and Jenny was on hand and very helpful. Lots of things in the house for the children to do. We had a nice meal at The Canary and Linnet which is in the village although too far to walk but five minutes by car. I would highly recommend Lyons Green. Anne Marley and family.

“We all enjoyed our stay at Lyons ...”

We all enjoyed our stay at Lyons Green. Everything about it was good. Just one point to mention is that it would have been nice if there was a complete board game to play! Just a small point on an otherwise enjoyable holiday. We took our dog and she was amazingly good. She was afraid of the fish in the lake and didn’t want to go near it

“Beautiful house, in a lovely, ...”

Beautiful house, in a lovely, peaceful setting. Lots of wildlife to be seen. We saw deer, owls, swallows and a heron. Pond teeming with huge fish. We found it was a bit of a trek to everywhere but Norwich was nice, about 40 mins and the park and ride convenient. Lots to see, including the castle museum, cathedral and shops. Our son hired a canoe from the Pub and Paddle for an afternoon and thoroughly enjoyed it. Spent a day on a hire boat on the broads, another 40mins drive, but worth it when we got there. Several nice pubs along the rivers, but found that mooring places are a bit limited. All in all a great holiday house.

“Just wonderful”

We have stayed at Lyons Green many times over the last twelve years and the welcome is always warm. The property is delightful, plenty of character and always spotlessly clean despite our furry friends being as welcome as we are. The fishing lakes are great and wild life abounds even if you don’t fish. The peace and tranquility are just perfect to unwind and Jenny is always on hand if any problems arise. We cannot fault this property and very much look forward to our next visit.

“Wonderful week at Lyons Green”

What a wonderful week in Norfolk at Lyons Green. From the very friendly and helpful welcome from Jenny, via a spacious and comfortable cottage with virtually every facility imaginable, to catching 50-60lb of carp each day, it was excellent through and through. The large conservatory was a particularly nice space for the 5 of us (aged 90 - 50) to sit, read and watch TV; and the ground floor bedroom and shower for aged parents was one of the necessary features we looked for in a booking. Plenty of birds and wildlife in and around the lakes and the house which added to the whole enjoyment of the visit. A minor downside was that the location meant 30-60 mins drive to get anywhere suitable to take the rather frail parents (country houses, seaside etc.); however, they coped well with the journeying and the days we stayed at the cottage were still most enjoyable. Reading the visitors book this cottage is clearly held in high regard by everyone and there are many examples of repeat visits, and having experienced it for ourselves we can completely understand why.

“Relax in front of an open fire and enjoy the views”

My wife and I along with my 3 children booked this cottage at the last minute for 1 week over the Easter period. The owner met us @ the property and showed us where everything is and so on and left us to it ( perfect communication ). The property has 3 bedrooms upstairs and a further bedroom downstairs. The property has an open fire, modern kitchen and various reception rooms. Clean and tidy but also has old school charm. 3 flat screen TV's to keep the kids happy and wifi to keep my wife happy. The property has 2 large carp lakes so you need to keep an eye on your kids. Its pet friendly although you would not know it because the house is spotless. I would come back again just to experience the Norfolk people.
