"This is such a great place for families with kids. Nice well-equipped accommodation, helpful staff, great facilities including a lovely indoor pool and a stunning play barn. Close to Caister and beaches as well as the Broads there were plenty of day out options too. All in all a perfect 3 generation holiday."

"Lovely spacious cottage overlooking the large communal area and paddocks. The kitchen is well equipped, and the large screen TV in the lounge delighted the grandchildren (although there’s so much to do here it wasn’t needed a lot). An ideal grandparents large double room (also with TV) is on the first floor, as well as a twin room for the children, leaving the very large en suite room for the younger generation! Morning cuppa enjoyed in the sun on the bench outside the front door - supplied with cushions by Jill. The children loved their hour in the pool daily, our son used the early morning shared swim slot, and we were able to get another hour on a couple of days when there was a vacant slot left (there are more slots than cottages). This week we had such amazing weather that the beautiful play barn was used less than usual!
We have stayed in 3 other cottages at this site, and they are all as well equipped and immaculately kept."

"This was our third visit with our grandkids now 11, 10, 7, 6 which I suppose says it all. The facilities are great and the outdoor space is particularly good with young kids. The owner Jill, is very attentive and was quick to deal with any matters while we were there."

"Highly recommend Lower Wood Farm cottages definitely have the wow factor! Absolutely everything you need for a fabulous family holiday. It’s very quiet and a perfect safe location. The facilities are brilliant for young children and early teens ,with bikes, footballs, pedal toys and the play barn is like a toy shop. The swimming pool is lovely and warm and well maintained. The cottages are beautifully decorated and equipped with practically everything you need for your stay. The only things we actually needed to buy were cling film, aluminium foil and extra loo rolls! The only small issue was condensation in the bathroom after showering, probably needs a better ventilator installed. Would love to come again"

"Our stay at Lower Wood Farm was for a joint family Birthday celebration, 50th and 80th. On arrival down the path to the farm you are surrounded by various farm animals, we were lucky to see lambs in lambing season which was a treat.
The grounds itself are beautifully maintained with everything families could wish for, goals, pool table, table tennis, table football, gas BBQ's as well as the pool.
The accommodation itself is of an extremely high standard, well equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, large shower / bath room and was spotless on our arrival.
The host Jill was extremely accommodating but was more then happy for us to do our own thing, definitely a home-from-home.
Would highly recommend, especially for larger parties who want to holiday / celebrate together as we did."

"Thankyou Jill, Braeburn Barn was all we could have wished for. We stayed with our family for the May half term. Our grandchildren. 3-13 years old had a wonderful time. They particularly enjoyed the play barn (so well equipped for all ages) and playing fields. The indoor swimming pool was a firm favourite. The barn itself was well equipped, very clean and spacious with a wonderful open plan living/dining kitchen upper floor. In the evening, we enjoyed looking out across the fields for deer, pheasants and hares.. You even had charging points in the car park for my EV!
Lots of things to do in the area. Don't miss the stock cars/destruction derby at the nearby Yarmouth Stadium."
