Reviews and Ratings
I had high expectations for this stay, especially given the price we paid and the charming description on the website. While the rooms were spacious and well-equipped, the overall experience felt a bit underwhelming compared to what I had hoped for. The breakfast system didn't quite work for us, and we felt a bit rushed during our morning meal. There were moments of confusion with the staff that dampened the experience slightly.
My stay at Holly Lodge was absolutely delightful! The room was stunning, and the attention to detail was remarkable, making every moment feel special. The breakfast was a highlight, with a fantastic variety that fueled my day perfectly. The beautiful gardens and cozy ambiance added to the charm of the lodge. However, the location is a bit isolated, with limited options for dining nearby outside of what the lodge offers, which could be a downside for some guests.
This boutique hotel is a true gem with its luxurious accommodations and exceptional breakfast offered in a beautiful setting. The rooms are not only comfortable and attractively decorated, but the thoughtful little touches like complimentary wine were a delightful surprise. Service was outstanding, with hosts going out of their way to make our stay special. The only downside was that dining hours could be a little limiting for late risers, but overall, the experience was remarkable.
What a delightful stay we had at this charming boutique B&B! The quality throughout the property is truly exceptional—from the beautifully designed rooms to the stunning gardens. The warm and attentive service made us feel right at home, and I can't say enough about the breakfast; it was a highlight of our mornings. Our only regret is having to leave this wonderful place behind. It really exceeded our expectations in every way.
Holly Lodge is a hidden gem with luxuriously decorated rooms that ensure a cozy stay. The location is perfect for exploring the beauty of north Norfolk, and the breakfasts served were simply fantastic, making each morning special. Although I was a bit surprised by the price increase for future stays, the overall experience was truly memorable and worth it, especially for festive events.
