Lower Wood Farm’s superb indoor heated pool is the perfect solution to start the day, escape any bad weather or unwind at the end of busy fun on the Norfolk coast, cruising on the Norfolk Broads or one of the county’s many attractions.
The Play Barn and sun lounge are cleverly designed with activities for all ages. 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...
"We love lowerwood farm, we've just stayed for the third time and we love it. The facilities are great- we used the pool at least once a day, the games room is amazing with a great choice of activities. The cottages are lovely; very well equipped with the little touches that contribute to a stress free stay. We are considering returning next year. Thank you Gill!"

"Lower Wood Farm was a perfect base for a family with children. The cottage was spacious, comfortable and had all the amenities we needed. The swimming pool and huge play barn were highlights, ensuring the kids were never bored either side of our day trips. Jill on site was always helpful and friendly and I have no doubt we will rebook again in the future."

"The property was excellent especially for small children, the play barn was crammed with toys and there was also table tennis, pool and football for the older children/adults. There was a selection of bicycles to use and swings etc, it really was well thought out. The pool was a real bonus. This property has been well thought out and we would not hesitate to book it again."

"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"
