The Porters Lodge is part of a wing of a Hall built in the 15 century. Now fully restored it offers a quiet holiday in which to relax. It has a large double bedroom on the first floor, and the sitting room, kitchen and bathroom are downstairs. Not really suitable if you have a dodgy hip or knee as the staircase is one of the winding twisted ones so often found in Norfolk.
Originally built on the 1540s, the Porter's Lodge a historic holiday cottage,was used by the Porter whose duties included monitoring all those who used the gate. The ancient "squint hole", now glazed for the comfort of our guests, can still be seen by the fireplace.
This self catering holiday cottage has an entrance hall leading into the sitting room with inglenook fireplace. The kitchen has a cooker, microwave and fridge freezer, with a door leading to a private garden where there are garden chairs and table, which is the ideal place for a barbecue on a summer's evening.
Winding stairs (not for the infirm) lead to the bedroom with four poster bed, and views over the garden and surrounding countryside.
The view North from the bedroom window draws the eye over the rolling fields towards the village of Loddon in the near distance. The king size bed is made up with a duvet and towels are provided.
Heating is by electric fires and an open fire. Electricity is included in the hire charge.
There is ample car parking nearby.
