The under-5s have their own special play area at one end with table football, pool and table tennis for the older children at a safe distance and a relaxing sofa area for parents to sit, chat and meet with other families.
Outside, a large outdoor grass play paddock gives children ideal space to run around, kick a ball, climb and organise games.
A cottage for you
All buildings have been developed to be in keeping with the original rural buildings that date back to the mid 18th century.
The cottages are built around a courtyard where guests can barbecue, and eat under a covered dining area.
The purpose-built Cape Cottage, is specially designed to accommodate guests with physical disabilities complete with wet room and ground floor facilities, with outside parking.
The complex was developed and run by Jill Nicholls, who lives on site.
Lower Wood Farm’s mission is to offer every guest a high quality superbly comfortable friendly home-from-home with every added extra guest could wish for – even the facilities to call in outside caterers for that special occasion.
Plenty to see
For every guest, a warm Norfolk welcome of homemade cakes and tea awaits when they arrive to help them relax into their new “home”.
For extra peace of mind for parents with young children, the cottages are at the end of a long private lane a mile from the road allowing children to run freely on the grounds.
Deer run wild across bordering fields and wild birds are abundant.
Lower Wood Farm even has its very own Springwatch with an owl box where people can watch the owls rear their young, flying back and forth with food and a large pond with ducks and geese.

WHAT OUR GUESTS HAVE TO SAY...
"Myself, wife and 3 children visited for 7 nights, what a beautiful place, something for everyone. We stayed in the farmhouse very clean and tidy, lots of room.
Having the swimming pool each day just for our family was a massive help for an hour, inspired my son to learn to swim and going everyday has helped a great deal.
Jill was always on hand if required, the play room had everything, whilst my sons played pool and table tennis, my daughter was happy playing with peppa pigs and dress up.
Value for money was incredible, we will 100% be back to this beautiful place"

"Lovely week at the Appleloft. Great place for the children to safely run around and play. The swimming pool was a real bonus especially being able to book slots so it was just us in there. Jill always very helpful with any queries. Our second time at Lower Wood farm and I’m sure we will come again."

"We stayed in Russet Cottage and really enjoyed our stay. The cottage was really clean and comfortable and in a lovely quiet corner. There was a large window in the living room with a wonderful view of fields, where we spotted deer, hares and geese. Jill was really friendly and helpful throughout our stay. We enjoyed the playroom and swimming pool and the outdoor play equipment. We would highly recommend this as a great place to stay in Norfolk."

"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"

"We have now stayed in Cape Cottage a few times. Everything is to a very high standard,nothing is to much trouble for Jill, she goes over and above to make your stay comfortable and welcoming"

"BBQ availability difficult when site full. A rota like the swimming pool would have helped or an individual BBQ would be nice.
This would have helped planning the rvening meal.
Again when the site was full, drying became a problem as the washing line was too small.
However, small niggles about a great place to stay for all ages."

"Everything was just fantastic.
We really enjoyed our stay, and Braeburn Cottage was perfect for the eight of us.
Loved the booked sessions in the pool as well."
