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 had a lovely time at Lower Wood Farm Country Cottages, so much so that while we were there we booked to stay again next Summer, you can’t say better than that!
From the moment we arrived the owners were welcoming and friendly. The complimentary afternoon tea was a lovely touch and very much enjoyed. The cottage was clean and had everything we needed. The pool is lovely, our 5 and 7 year old had lots of fun, the daily private swim slot is great. The play barn is so well equipped with toys for babies through to adults with the pool table etc. We couldn’t fault Lower Wood Farm and the team and can’t wait to go back next year.

"A great place to stay for families as there are outdoor games and an indoor pool and also a games room with sports for all the family to enjoy. It is good to be able to come back after a day out to be able to unwind and play pool, table tennis etc. The cottage is very well kept and has all the amenities you would want, if you want to cook your own meals, get them delivered etc. There is a small farm shop within walking distance where you can purchase local produce. The village of Filby is a short drive away and has beautiful flower displays throughout the village, which has a small grocers shop also. The cottage has some lovely walk around and Caister castle and car museum can also be reached by walking or a short car ride. This is worth visiting as it has some fabulous cars. Lower wood farm is ideally situated also for visits to the beaches - Horsey beach is worth a visit as it sometimes as lots of seals. We saw around 150 of them when we went in August. Norwich Cathedral is also worth a visit as is the city. Great Yarmouth is only about 30 mins away and has a great beach and lots and lots of fairground activities. Would highly recommend this place to friends and family."

"We booked Lower Wood Farm on the recommendation of family member and will now be recommending it to our friends. We were warmly welcomed on arrival and given all the information we would need. The accommodation itself is excellent. It was spacious and spotless with everything we needed for our week’s stay. The setting is beautiful and immaculately kept. The small group of individual cottages are in a rural area of Norfolk and have easy access to many different attractions. We were also near to the Broads and the beach. There is an imaginative outdoor play area for children, a swimming pool and a well equipped play barn for families. Our children loved the variety of games and the outdoor play area. I cannot recommend this accommodation highly enough."

"We had a great week staying in Russet cottage. The cottage was spacious and well equipped for our stay. Our children loved the freedom of the grounds and spent hours in the play barn and on the fields. We also made full use of the bikes riding the short distance to the farm shop. The swimming pool was perfect however the slot system may have been limited if it was a rainy week. We arrived at 3.30 on the Friday and most slots gone - fortunately as it was a gloriously sunny week there were some cancellations."

"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"

"This is our third visit to Lowerwood Farm Cottages and we stayed in Cape Cottage on this occasion.
As we've come to expect the cottage amenities are second to none, everything and more that you would need staying self catering.
We made the most of the 1hr private swimming that you could book daily and use of the bikes.
Our grandson also made some new friends, which is always an added bonus.
Beautiful landscapes and we can't recommend this place enough. Thank you for another lovely stay Jill, you hard work and attention to detail is very much appreciated."

Hope to be back again sometime"
