Falconer’s Lodge

Built around 1814 from knapped flint and gault brick, Falconer's Lodge is a striking Grade II listed property crowned with an Arabian-Gothic tower. The distinctive architecture—once home to the Falconers' Club and later part of the historic Didlington Estate—sets it apart immediately. Inside, the character has been preserved through careful restoration: high ceilings, soft furnishings and views across the gardens and woodland create a calm, refined atmosphere throughout.

The ground floor holds a sitting room with woodburner, a well-equipped kitchen with dishwasher and range, and bedroom one with a zip-and-link kingsize bed. Upstairs are two more bedrooms—one with bunk beds and one with a four-poster super kingsize—plus a bathroom with both bath and shower cubicle. Electricity, heating, wi-fi, bed linen and towels are included; the woodburner comes with initial fuel. A table tennis table is available, and there is parking for three cars on the property. One well-behaved pet stays free.

The enclosed garden with sitting-out area opens directly onto Thetford Forest's 47,000 acres of woodland and heathland. The lodge sits within quiet countryside bordered by mature trees, making it a base for exploring or simply retreating from busier parts of Norfolk and Suffolk. The narrow, steep stairs are a feature of the period building. Smoking is not permitted inside.
