My goodness what a beautiful setting the pod is in - fish in the pond, flowers and fruit growing all around. The scent of the jasmine was wonderful! Ian and Caz were fabulous hosts. Right from greeting us on arrival, showing us their lovely Pod. The facilities were more than expected - the snacks, drinks in the fridge, bakes, fruit and cereals were all more than we could have expected. They are a lovely couple and you can tell they want to make you feel at home. Sadly we didn’t have time for the hot tub but what a brilliant add on if you do have the time. We were attending the Heritage Live Festival at Sandringham which we intend to do next year again. Couldn’t fault a thing - was the most welcome I think we’ve ever felt being away. You’ve got everything just right, it makes a difference when you can see the care and attention that’s gone into it. Very nostalgic driving here and back again. Great Yarmouth was my childhood holiday haunt. We used to love to spot the windmills in the fields driving down. Beautiful surroundings, stunning garden, lovely couple. Would 100% recommend a stay here 😁 Tips - bring robes if you want to use the hot tub. Bring a hair dryer.

Well equipped cute and friendly stay.

Both lovely hosts. The pod was immaculate, well equipped and the extras (little breakfast hamper, beautiful oriental garden and easy parking) great. Quiet, ideal for a short stay and the hosts treated our daughter to a bottle of scholer and party poppers for her birthday which was cute. Perfect location too.Will visit again.

Lovely home away from home

I was in town visiting a friend for nearly two weeks, and this little pod was such a delightful place to stay! Situated in a very charming Japanese garden, it was plenty private, cozy and comfortable. It also seemed bigger inside than the pictures might make it look. The hosts Ian and Caz were so kind and welcoming, making us feel right at home. They stocked a basket with all kinds of snacks and breakfast foods and even brought us some home baked cake and scones. Very happy with my stay. Would highly recommend this place and plan on coming back here myself.

Disappointed beyond words

The advertising of this property was very misleading, it was in a back garden surrounded by houses in the middle of a housing estate, the shower was broken, unable to use without flooding the bathroom, the hot tub was broken in their garage with no access apart from the door open to the owners work station, work tools and a terrible smell of oil, the sofa bed was not made up as requested and I was handed a clean sheet to put over a crumpled diver, the main beds mattress was so thin and solid she couldn’t sleep, the garden was not oriental, just a few oriental pots placed amongst the conifers and plants, the “hamper “ was poor, we packed and left first thing in the morning,, very disappointed and should be looked at closely before booking!

Perfect little hideaway

My partner and myself stayed here for 2 nights. The pod it's self is tidy, clean, small kitchenette with microwave and toaster, also there is a breakfast hamper, the fridge is stocked with the basics. The pod opens out onto a beautifully kept Japanese garden with Koi pond. Ian and Caz are great hosts and are at the end of a text or call if there are any problems. There is also a hot tub available which just topped off this amazing little retreat. Myself and Darren will definately be coming back. Once again, Thank you so much, look forward to seeing you soon.

We booked this property very last minute but it didnt distract from the attention to detial the hosts showed us on arrival or during our stay. The pod is cute and cosy and has everything you could need. The garden is really pretty and definitely worth a look at night when it is all lit up. We had use the hot tub which was a great addition to our stay. The hosts were very attentive and went out of their way to make us feel welcome, with lots of little additional touches that really enhanced our stay. I would recommend this little gem for an overnight stay if their are 2 of you travelling, looking for somewhere cosy and a little different.

We spent 2 days at the garden pod. There are 3 of us - mum, dad and a teenager. We visited Swaffham for its attractions and sights as well as using it as a base to travel further around Norfolk - Wells, Thetford, Hunstanton. The hosts looked after us really well.

Cosy, comfortable and customer care

We had never stayed in a pod before and I was very pleasantly surprised. The hosts had laid on everything we could possibly need and were so friendly and helpful. We especially loved the wonderful breakfast hamper. Everything was clean and well-maintained. The pod is in a back garden of a house on a new estate (which we had a very nice evening walk around) but has been thoughtfully sited so it felt very private and was a lovely place to enjoy the evening sun.
