About this property
Surrounded by orchards and full of character, a stay at the Cart Lodge is a great escape from the bustle of life and is within walking distance of the pub – perfect!
Surrounded by bird song and fruit orchards with cherries, plums and raspberries in season, the Cart Lodge offers old world charm in a countryside setting. Full of character and beamed throughout, it is easy to leave the bustling world behind and relax in this tranquil holiday home. Erpingham is a charming, rural village tucked away in north Norfolk, just a few miles from the coast and its sandy beaches. It has a pub; The Spread Eagle and a good farmers market can be found at nearby Aylsham twice a week. This lovely Georgian town also hosts two good supermarkets, a bakery and a butcher. Aylsham is also the starting point of the Bure Valley Railway, which is a small gauge steam railway that runs into the heart of The Broads National Park at Wroxham, where you can explore over 125 miles of waterways via guided tours, by hiring a boat or walking the nature trails.

We enjoyed our stay at the Cart Lodge which had everything we needed for our week’s stay. It is in a very good location within easy reach of the coast and has lots of different things to do in the area. We had a delicious home-cooked meal at The Alby Horseshoes pub just round the corner and would thoroughly recommend a visit! Thank you John for our welcome gifts and for the fresh raspberries which were very much appreciated. All-in-all we had a wonderful week’s holiday (despite the British weather!!).

Well thought out accommodation and perfect for 4 in a lovely, peaceful spot but sadly compromised by a number of very basic and easily fixable maintenance issues (which we did mention to the owner when we bumped into him, quite by chance, on the last morning of our stay). The complete lack of any kind of welcome pack was very disappointing after a long journey.
