The house is located down a wooded country lane and backs onto fields. It is really peaceful and quiet. The garden is huge and is surrounded by trees for the birds and wildlife. The house is decorated and furnished to a high standard and very comfortable. The kitchen is fully equipped and the utility room was extremely welcome because we had moRead morensoon rain for three days, and we were able to dry everything out. It is a 15 minute drive to Wells and Holkham, which are the best beaches in Norfolk. Its honestly the best place I have every stayed in and would recommend it to anyone. Hide

Beautiful location, brilliant layout and everything you need for a great holiday. Amazing large garden for the dog to run around! Lovely to sit on the patio and enjoy the wildlife. So peaceful, a truly lovely area. Very central for exploring North Norfolk delights. The Lodge provides all kitchen utensils you may need and a barbecue outside, also boRead moreoks and games etc. great facilities. Appearance of garden needs attention, weeds growing at front entrance, house keeping needs fine tuning. Welcome bag needs improving to include milk for that first cuppa on arrival! Hide

Lovely, well equipped lodge (would have loved to find a Nespresso coffee maker though!). Great garden - enjoyed breakfast in the morning sun. Our dog loved exploring the garden and chasing the squirrels! Very good location for coastal or countryside walks.

Lovely location, and so close to the amazing thursford museum. We saw 2 deers , rabbits and other wildlife in the garden. Not too far from many interesting places to visit, and the weather was perfect too.

Shuttleworth Lodge is the perfect escape, peaceful yet a great location for exploring the North Norfolk area. Very clean, comfy beds, a real home from home. A wildlife spotters dream, our highlight was a muntjac deer with her baby walking past the gate and rabbits in the garden. Thoroughly recommend.
