The Fieldhouse: Rural quiet, central to everything the Norfolk Broads Offers
The Fieldhouse is our lovely little pet-friendly, self-contained, detached annex/guest house located on the grounds of the old Halvergate village school. It has the Norfolk broads and marshes on its door step with the stunning Norfolk beaches, Norwich and Great Yarmouth close by. It is truly a home from home, with a lounge with sofa bed, fully equipped kitchen, bedroom with king bed, and bathroom with bath/shower, with parking and outdoor sofa, BBQ and table and chairs in the large garden.
The cottage was smaller than expected, but donât be put off by that!! It was all we needed for our stay. Itâs very comfy and well equipped. Everything we needed for our week. We took our dog with us, but the garden is not secure right now, but that will be sorted in the near future. Iâd measure the owner to find out. But itâs a very convenient location for some beautiful walks too. Really loved our stay xx
Fantastic place to stay:in the country but not too far from the coast or Norwich. Really well equipped cottage with lovely decorations. Glenn was a brilliant host. If you're visiting near Norwich this is the place to stay. Did I mention the scenic walks. .
Easy to find but secluded stay tucked just off the A47. Everything you could need for a stay, including biscuits, towels and bowls for the dogs. Kitchen, bathroom and bedroom all modern and well equipped.
Brilliant walks just on the doorstep and a short drive away, wished could have stayed a few more days to explore.
Lovely cosy property, beautifully decorated and well equipped for self-catering travellers. We had a great stay, exploring the Norfolk Broads, and our host was very helpful and welcoming.
A lovely property, clean, comfortable with everything you need. The location behind the old school house was great.
Loved the details...the bedroom wall, the framed photos.
A very comfortable, clean & well equipped accommodation it had everything you could want on a break.
Everything is excellent except it is very closed in around the outside I imagined from the title there were going to be views.
The Fieldhouse is perfect for exploring the local area. If you are looking for somewhere peaceful, comfortable and cosy this is the place for you. Glen, our host, could not have been more helpful. Highly recommended
The place was ideal. It provided immediate walkable access to the local heritage charm and the protected marshland was just a short distance away. It would be a great place for a retreat, bird enthusiast and local history. Although Halvergate is a small village, it has easy access to Acle (closest) as well as Norwich and Great Yarmouth. Taxi service is available and prompt. The owners were responsive to questions and went out of their way to make my stay exactly what I intended. Definitely would stay again.
Beautiful property. They have thought of everything you could possibly need to enjoy a comfortable stay. Was clean and quiet and decorated to a high standard
The gardens are immaculate and as a keen gardener myself I appreciated that
Host kept in touch to check if we needed anything. We stayed for the weekend with our dog and he enjoyed sitting outside with us
You do need a car to get around but worth it as the property is tucked away and peaceful
We will definitely be visiting again
On our arrival we were greeted by Georgie, Glenn and Willow their dog, we entered the cottage and couldnât believe how beautiful and clean it was, there was everything you needed for your stay, the bed was very comfortable and we slept so well. The cottage is situated off the road and was so quiet only the birds you could hear, our two dogs had a roam around the garden and said hello to Willow. Georgie was very helpful and understanding especially when our old dog Ellie had an accident on the door mat, I would definitely recommend this cottage for your stay 10/10
We donât know what happened in that place but for it to be painted in only 2 small places 10 minutes before we arrived was vey strange and it was literally full of flies throughout our stay
Glen has a beautiful property located in a peaceful part of the countryside in Norfolk, you would need a car when visiting as nothing close by.
The place itself has everything you need and was really modern and clean
We were staying with our 6 week old baby, and glen ensured we had a infant towel as well as our towels so we could bath him. A lovely thoughtful touch.
Check in was easy as keyless and communication from host was easy.. our only downfall was when something came up and we really could have done with rescheduling there wasnât much flexibility on it .. I know its peak season so will accept it
Overall a beautiful place and will 1000% return
We booked this short stay for our daughter and new husband for their wedding gift. They say the accommodation was excellent, clean, home from home with all the mod cons you need for a short stay. Slightly difficult to find as property is hidden behind high bushes but the host was excellent at directions. They would definitely return. Thank you so much.
What a lovely cottage, it's just right for a romantic time away. Everywhere was so clean. There were complimentary tea, coffee, biscuits and even dog biscuits and poop bags on our arrival. The decor is beautiful and everywhere is done to a very high standard. We shall be back!
Exploring the Norfolk Broads area. The property was central to the areas we wanted to visit.
The property was clean and comfortable and had everything we needed. We expected something slightly larger from the way it was advertised but the location was central to where we wanted to be.
Warm and friendly welcome from Glenn, Georgia and Willow, who were most solicitous. Comfy bed, ditto sofa, good bath/shower room, plenty of crockery, cutlery, cooking utensils, a super welcoming basket of goodies and a HUGE telly!
Just the thing for a couple seeking some peace and low-key living if they wish.
Highly recommended.
Thank you, G, G & W.

Hi I'm Glenn. I'm a management consultant specialising in product and go-to-market strategy in the Tech and food sectors.
I moved to beautiful Norfolk from California to be with my bride and have never looked back. Our mission is to continue to turn our old village school into a personal home and show off Norfolk to our guests.
We bought the old village school because we were looking for project home with character, a large garden and a semi-rural location but close to a city with restaurants, theatre and transit connections. With School Lodge we got all of it plus better weather, the Broads and beaches and the opportunity to share it with others through the creation of two independent, self-contained holiday lets.
The property has keyless entry and off-street parking. Youâll be given a code for your stay and have the ability to come and go as you please. You will have your own kitchen and dinning space making meal times easy. There is a double bedroom with king bed with Emma mattress, and the lounge also has a double sofa bed for additional sleeping space. There is also a beautiful garden, ideal for enjoying the Norfolk sunshine reading a book or having a BBQ.
