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...
"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"

"Always a pleasure to spend time at Lowerwood. Accommodation is always top class and nothing is too much trouble for Jill and her team. Our ‘go to’ place in Norfolk."

"Bramley Cottage was perfect for a family of four. The children each got a separate bedroom and there was ample storage for clothes. All the kitchen appliances you could need and a comfy sofa with smart TV. Despite being a hot week the cottage was cool and we particularly enjoyed using the outdoor seating area that was nicely hidden for privacy. Perfect view of the fields from the living room with gorgeous sunsets. Having the swimming pool to ourselves each day was fabulous and everything was super clean. Jill was a great host and looks after the cottages and grounds to a very high standard! Location was fantastic for visiting the beach, Norfolk Broads and beyond! Will be recommending to friends."

"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."
