  • "Lyons Green is a very spacious and comfortable property."

    The furnishings are high quality and there is ample seating within the various reception rooms, enabling members of our family to have quiet time when required. We had everything we required to enable us to have a wonderful stay. The property is set within extremely spacious and beautiful grounds We definitely recommend this property.

  • "What an amazing property!"

    We are a family of 5, including a parent with limited mobility. We booked the property because we thought the downstairs bedroom and walk-in shower would be ideal, it did not disappoint. The bathroom was opposite to the King size bedroom on the ground floor. There is so much space to move around every room, the pictures do not do it justice. The grounds around the property are very well maintained and private. It was ideal for walking our dog, he walked around the lakes every morning before heading to the beach for the day, he loved it! The kitchen is very well-equipped and the utility room is an added bonus. The location is ideal too. We could get to the coast in under an hour. There are so many places to visit in the area and the house is so comfortable we could easily have stayed another week at least. We would love to return to this beautiful property.

    Thank you so much Jacquie for your wonderful comments, it was a pleasure to meet you all and so pleased you had a lovely holiday. Jenny Property Owner

  • "We spent a wonderful relaxing week at Lyon’s Green."

    Fully equipped with everything you could possibly want. Comfortable and impeccably clean. The outside space was amazing with large ponds, great wildlife. We had visiting swans, herons and many other types of bird. There is also a great private garden to the rear of the house. The owner Jenny couldn’t have been more helpful. She provided a great welcome pack and met us at the property on arrival and on departure. Having stayed at many rental holiday properties this personal service was the best we have experienced. We visited the wonderful beaches, the Broads, National Trust properties, Sheringham, Wells, all in around 40 mins drive. We were blessed with wonderful weather all week! If you are looking for a relaxing break in Norfolk I wouldn’t hesitate to book this property. We will be back!

    The gardens are a haven for anyone who loves peace, quiet and nature with two ponds and plenty of space to walk and enjoy. We had a lovely week and all of us want to return next year.

  • "Lyons Green was the best ever equipped cottage we have stayed in for many years & as such deserves a mention."

    The extreme weather had reduced the water level in the lake and weed was a big problem. However, we did manage a couple of sessions and landed some 50+ carp... mainly commons to 8 or 9lbs and some nice mirrors to around 10lbs. Light tackle is not recommend as these fish fight hard an head straight for the weed. We would certainly recommend this holiday to any large family group and intend to return in the future.

  • "We have just had a fabulous stay at Lyons Green - three generations plus extended family (ages 24 to 80 plus a cockerpoo!"

    ).The house itself was perfect for our needs. Lots of space to get together as well as space to have some quiet time between the dining room, spacious lounge and sun room. Then there are the stunnomg grounds to wander around which are shared with the adjacent cottage. Find a seat by the lake and see all the beautiful wildlife, and you also have a rear private garden too. We arrived to find a lovely welcome pack and the owner, Jenny, who is absolutely lovely, checked in on us to ensure we were ok and had everything we nedded. Lyons Green is ideally situated to explore the beautiful north Norfolk coast as well as Norwich, Thetford Forest, the Broads, and the lovely town of Holt with its independent shops and lots of cafes etc. We have made some wonderful memories during our stay and the pictures really do not do the property justice. A fantastic time was had by all and we can't wait to go back!

  • "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.

    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, 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.
