At the time of the Norman Conquests the village of Rockland St Mary was split in ownership with half being under the guidance of the Earl of Norfolk and the other half the Abbot of Langley Abbey.  The two townships were eventually joined to become the attractive Broadland village as we know it today with its own small Broad to the east of the village and a good village pub and shop.  The area is set in an attractive low lying valley with the River Yare running through it, ideal for bird watchers and cyclists, whilst the Wherryman's Way accessed from the village, makes a great walking day out.   A holiday based here offers many attractions; the fine City of Norwich is full of cultural attractions, cinema complexes, great shopping and a wide choice of cafes restaurants and pubs.  The RSPB Strumpshaw Fen and the Strumpshaw Hall Steam Museum are just across the River Yare and a day trip to The Broads to explore the inlets and waterways, is easily done from here.  The traditional seaside resort of Great Yarmouth is directly to the east as are the less populated beaches of Caister-on-Sea and Winterton-on-Sea - the east coast beaches are large, sandy and there is space for the whole family to enjoy a day out.  A little further north discover Horsey with its famous wind pump now looked after by the National Trust and from here take a walk to the beach where you will discover the resident seal colony - so who's watching who?

Reviews

The Old Cart Lodge exceeded our expectations: The house is well speced, very comfortable with good quality fittings etc. Nice outside space. Jenny the owner was welcoming and friendly. It was a perfect cottage and we will return at some point. We lovely the location with easy access to excellent walks over the fens without having to get in car. My daughters small dog loved the secure outside space - so did we!!

Mr H,

A beautiful cart lodge in a great location, would highly recommend

Miss S,

Great place to stay with everything we needed. Jenny provided all the information we required as well as a lemon drizzle cake. Hoping to return.

Mrs T,

Absolutely stunning property ; beautiful hideaway from busy life. The hosts Jenny & Lloyd were delightful! Home made lemon drizzle delightful ; all the things we needed and more ! Well thought out and designed property

Mrs M,

We loved our stay at the Old Cart Lodge. The accommodation is gorgeous inside and out and suited our family or two adults, two teens and our dog perfectly. The outdoor space was particular important for our dog and was completely secure for him to safely roam around. Our stay was comfortable and cosy, the welcome treats for both us and our dog were a lovely touch and we all enjoyed the hot tub too. Well situated to the coast, getting the park and ride into Norwich and we would highly recommend a walk at Whitlingham Country Park, the cafe there is lovely too! A great stay and we would definately like to book a return visit at some point too. Communication with the owner was great and she was happy to answer any questions we had.

Mrs G,

Old Cart Lodge was absolutely fantastic, loved by every member of our family, especially our Labrador! The property is perfect - tidy and well maintained throughout, and by far the best dog-friendly property we have stayed in. The village is great with a host of lovely walks on the doorstep and only 30/45 mins drive from countless beaches, most of which are dog friendly. All in all I could not fault the accommodation, location and value for money. Highly recommend to anyone.

Mr G,

Lovely accommodation with everything you could want in a peaceful area.

Mr E,

Absolutely beautiful. We had a fantastic stay. Loved the cottage and the hot tub. Everything was perfect. Lovely surrounding area and not too far from other places to visit. Host was lovely. Would highly recommend.

Mrs S,

Well if this was a tv show and Four in a Bed then we would give, 10/10 for hosts, 10/10 for how were the facilities, 10/10 for cleanliness etc.. Superb cottage and great location. Would we stay again at Old Cart Lodge - Yes we would - definitely !!!!

Mr T,

Extremely nice cottage and well equipped

Mr M,

Lovely place, very comfortable and would recommend to family and friends.

Miss S,

Lovely cottage and courtyard garden, great location for exploring Norfolk, lush lemon drizzle cake

Mrs B,

Very good accommodation, well equipped and luxury feeling. Owners very attentive and caring.

Mrs K,

The Old Cart lodge is very beautifully decorated with lovely touches and attention to detail, making it a real home from home. The property is cosy and relaxing, yet bright and airy making it perfect for summer or winter stays. Our break was perfect and we cannot recommend it enough.

Miss D,

Good property with good comms with owner

Mr M,

We stayed for three nights and had a wonderful time. The cabin was beautiful, and so spacious - even bigger and better than it looks from the photos. It had everything we needed for our stay. Paying more for the hot tub was a bonus and well worth it. It was a great size and we went in it each night under the fairy lights. We would love to come back in the summer. Communication from the host was great, and check in and check out was an easy process. I would highly recommend and we are already looking to come back.

Miss M,

The cottage was warm (under floor heating throughout) and very tastefully decorated. Comfortable, with everything we needed for a weekend. The hot tub was wonderful - a perfect addition for 4 friends relaxing!

Mrs M,
