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.

Beautiful Pod

My overall impression is that this pod is beautiful. The owners have spent alot of time thinking what guests need when staying for a few days. The hot tub is fab and the owners are both lovely welcoming people. I'd highly recommend this place

You really can’t find better people. Ian and Caz were smiley and welcoming the second we got there, opening their home like it was our own. They gave lots of recommendations and even booked us in for food very last minute. If you want to stay somewhere and feel relaxed and comfortable, this is the place to stay.

Very attentive hosts

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.

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.
