Company information

I live with my husband Chris in Thetford Forest, we love work, travel, we have two Labradors, Morgan and Gip and a terrier called Teddy. We go walking and running in the forest a lot (as we are in the ideal location), we just love being outdoors and are very social! We are busy with a business and a young child but you may see us around during your stay. We are of course always available by phone or email!

Property information

Lynford Gardens Forest Holiday Cottages are located in the heart of Thetford Forest. We have six luxurious cottages with direct access to the forest. The area is extremely popular with walkers, bird watchers, cyclists and those wishing to escape everyday life. Lynford Lake, with it's own man made beach, is only 2 mins walk away. You can easily explore Norfolk and Suffolk, including Sandringham and the North Norfolk coast. All of the cottages have high quality furnishings, well equipped kitchens, underfloor heating, fast wifi and smart TVs. The Wren is a studio cottage sleeping two people, The Robins Rest is a one bedroom cottage also sleeping two people but also has a sofa bed available. The Wagtail and Crossbills are two storey, two bedroom cottages each sleeping 4 people. The Finches is a one storey, two bedroom cottage. These five cottages are next to each other but are self-contained and located within a beautiful shared walled garden set in over 1.5 acres and brimming with wildlife. The garden has a stunning pavilion with seating, fire pit and bbq, which is shared with the guests of each cottage. No road noise and good quality mattresses means you will have a wonderful night’s sleep! If you are looking for something a little more secluded, our new Woodcutters Lodge is a detached, self contained cottage with its own large private garden and patio area (2,800 sqft in total) and is located on the edge of the forest. We are close to RAF Mildenhall and RAF Lakenheath, (RAF Lakenheath only 10 miles away and RAF Mildenhall 16 miles away) and we welcome forces personnel, contractors for stays of any duration. On site there is the delightful Shepherds Baa cafe which is open every day from 9 to 4pm (until 5pm in the summer). Lynford Lakes, Lynford Arboretum and the River Wissey are quite literally on the doorstep and have endless walks. We also have two EV chargers on site for our guests' use.
