    Lovely warm welcome. Owners went above and beyond to help us. Arrived in the dark, very tired and wet. Lodge was warm and welcoming. Heating on and low lighting in main rooms. Dog friendly. There was everything we needed or might have needed....

    This is as good as you can get. Yvonne was welcoming and helpful and the place is certainly (a little gem). We have an old friend in the area so we will be back and all friends and family have been told.

This charming, dog-friendly hidden gem is a home away from home. Based in the centre of Watton (the market town famous for "The Babes in the Wood"), Watton Earth is an eclectic, 2-bedroom lodge with some of Norfolk's must-see spots nearby. Watton's numerous cafes, shops, takeaways and even its own museum are all a literal stone's throw away. Whilst ancient rural walks are also on your doorstep. Come and explore Norfolk in a brilliantly located spot - from the very heart of the Breckland.
Our home is situated next door (separate entrance), so if you need anything, we're just here. We offer complete privacy if you prefer but can also stay in touch throughout the stay if you'd like. We have a super friendly cockerpoo who loves other dogs, so if you have a pet who wants to play, let us know!
Watton is in the heart of Breckland. You have Thetford Forest, The Great Pingo Trail, Oxborough Hall, Castle Acre, the Fens, Banham Zoo and Sandringham Estate a drive away. The great Norfolk coast and the city of Norwich are also only 45/50 minutes away. Watton is walkable, with great cafes, shops and amenities just 30 seconds away from the lodge. There are many beautiful walks within walking distance, and some are a short drive away. Some of the best tourist attractions that Norfolk has to offer are within driving distance.
