The location is praised for its tranquillity and proximity to beaches and local attractions. The hosts are noted for their helpfulness and friendliness, contributing to a welcoming atmosphere.
The majority of guests found Mill Lodge to be very clean, with only a few isolated comments about finding dog mess in the garden and a desire for more thorough hot tub maintenance. The overall impression is that the property is well-maintained.
The location is generally well-regarded for its quiet village setting and accessibility to local walks, pubs, and a short drive to the North Norfolk coastline. Some guests found it slightly remote, but this did not significantly detract from their experience.
Guests have mixed feelings about comfort; while many find the property spacious and well laid out, there are comments about uncomfortable beds, low sofas, and a lack of air circulation in bedrooms. However, the private garden and hot tub add to the overall comfort.
Facilities are generally good, especially for disabled guests, but there are several mentions of maintenance issues such as problematic taps, a non-functioning grill, and hot tub jets. The property is equipped for a comfortable stay, but attention to these details could improve the experience.
While guests find the hosts welcoming and helpful, there is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness in the context of this category. Therefore, a score cannot be provided.

However in the three days we spent there, we found interesting walks and the property is very spacious. Two very adequate bathrooms and a shower room however no shelves or cupboards in these rooms so nowhere to put things. We brought a small folding table to put our toiletries on. We were cold, mainly because of the french doors in bedrooms and lounge, glass is very cold at night. Everything very clean. The local pub caters for high end customers. Need to drive a few miles to get groceries.

The mattress on the double bed in the large room needs replacing as the springs in it make for an uncomfortable nights sleep. The whole bungalow was unbearably hot the whole stay and windows and doors could not be left open due to influx of flies. There were fly papers but these were ineffective for the amount of flies. There was one stand fan in the bungalow that was not nearly enough to cool it. The lounge furniture had seen better days and was very tired and worn. This would be a lovely place to stay given a little care and attention with added addition of fly screens.

It is rural so lots of walks. Drive to beach and lots to see in area but knew all this when booked. The pub is quite posh and expensive only had a drink one evening. Lots of room my dog loved running around the secure garden and hallway. Hot tub lovely some manual jets. On the last night it was cloudy. Smart TV wifi ok. Negatives. Things that could be improved Very basic info on wall, no instructions for any of the machines or hot tub. Had to request WiFi code. Photos of lounge and garden are different as furniture is not the same, not as good. Still low for anyone elderly or disabled. Only two fold up chairs in garden and bench seat no BBQ. Wet room could be safer bars to hold, shelves to put items on eg toothbrush etc. I would not want to disabled as still no bars to hold ( previous comments have not been actioned ). Very small sink. Flush random noisy Taps in bathrooms are very difficult to turn on modern style but not great to turn. The grill did not work on oven only found out last day. I didnât want to leave negative comments as we really enjoyed our stay.
