    Our lodge was comfy but the cupboard (hoover) kept opening and the toilet flush wasn't very powerful and shower over bath screen broken…. So little updating…. But lovely

    Some ""extras"" I would have expected to be included such as a map of the footpaths, toiletries (soap slivers provided and 5 dishwasher tablets for a 7 day stay feels mean)

The property

Forest Holidays Golden Oak cabin can be found in a leafy setting amongst a collection of 63 cabins, deep in the countryside at Thorpe Forest, Norfolk.

Experience a one-of-a-kind break with all the comforts of home, easy dining options and activities and extras that will make it an unforgettable holiday in nature.

Step inside this spacious cabin styled in earthy shades of soft fennel and muted greys, complemented by whitewashed oak furniture. Built in harmony with the surrounding forest, this cabin’s great for smaller groups and families, with plenty of space to stretch out – then take in the views with floor to ceiling windows that let the light flood in as you sit back into your comfortable corner sofa. Extra home comforts and a kitchen with all the essentials make it easy for you to relax amongst the forest, the moment you walk through the door – fire up the barbecue on the decking, curl up by the logburner or sit back under clear skies in your very own hot tub.

In a leafy setting, deep in the countryside, you’ll be in walking distance of unspoilt wildlife havens, the River Thet and, a little further afield, the epic Norfolk coastline. Under a tranquil forest canopy or picturesque woodland glade, you might glimpse red deer gather on the hilltops surrounding your cabin as dawn and dusk fall, or you might catch barn owls gliding silently across the night sky.

Head out towards the coast and enjoy seal watching at Blakeney Point, take a trip to Great Yarmouth, or have a go sailing on the Norfolk Broads. Discover the thriving Breckland wildlife on peaceful walks, take a leisurely cycle on the famously flat Norfolk landscape or scale the trees to see the forest from above on an epic climbing experience within the forest.

In the forest, book a range of Forest Ranger activities that will help you connect with nature and the forest around you – from Nature Tots for under-5s, to Wildlife Wonders and Survival Skills, for any age.

THORPE FOREST

Thorpe Forest is a stunning spot deep in the countryside beside the River Thet. There's unspoilt wildlife havens and the epic Norfolk coastline is not too far away. The tranquil forest is home to red deer who often gather on the hilltops, or just before dusk, catch barn owls glide silently across the sky. Head for Banham Zoo, just a 20-minute drive from Thorpe Forest, with over 2000 animals and enough exciting activities for a full day out. Start your outdoor adventures at High Lodge Visitor Centre in Thetford Forest, where you can also find the original Go Ape, for some treetop thrills. The Nutshell pub in nearby Bury St Edmunds claims the title of Britain’s smallest pub. It’s tiny, with a quirky interior and well-kept beers. Also in Bury St. Edmunds, step through the grand entrance of Harriet’s Café Tea Rooms to an elegant interior, complete with grand chandeliers and soothing piano music on selected afternoons.
