The under-5s have their own special play area at one end with table football, pool and table tennis for the older children at a safe distance and a relaxing sofa area for parents to sit, chat and meet with other families.
Outside, a large outdoor grass play paddock gives children ideal space to run around, kick a ball, climb and organise games.
A cottage for you
All buildings have been developed to be in keeping with the original rural buildings that date back to the mid 18th century.
The cottages are built around a courtyard where guests can barbecue, and eat under a covered dining area.
The purpose-built Cape Cottage, is specially designed to accommodate guests with physical disabilities complete with wet room and ground floor facilities, with outside parking.
The complex was developed and run by Jill Nicholls, who lives on site.
Lower Wood Farm’s mission is to offer every guest a high quality superbly comfortable friendly home-from-home with every added extra guest could wish for – even the facilities to call in outside caterers for that special occasion.
Plenty to see
For every guest, a warm Norfolk welcome of homemade cakes and tea awaits when they arrive to help them relax into their new “home”.
For extra peace of mind for parents with young children, the cottages are at the end of a long private lane a mile from the road allowing children to run freely on the grounds.
Deer run wild across bordering fields and wild birds are abundant.
Lower Wood Farm even has its very own Springwatch with an owl box where people can watch the owls rear their young, flying back and forth with food and a large pond with ducks and geese.

WHAT OUR GUESTS HAVE TO SAY...
"We had a lovely time at Lower Wood Farm Country Cottages, so much so that while we were there we booked to stay again next Summer, you can’t say better than that!
From the moment we arrived the owners were welcoming and friendly. The complimentary afternoon tea was a lovely touch and very much enjoyed. The cottage was clean and had everything we needed. The pool is lovely, our 5 and 7 year old had lots of fun, the daily private swim slot is great. The play barn is so well equipped with toys for babies through to adults with the pool table etc. We couldn’t fault Lower Wood Farm and the team and can’t wait to go back next year. The Britten Family."

"Highly recommend Lower Wood Farm cottages definitely have the wow factor! Absolutely everything you need for a fabulous family holiday. It’s very quiet and a perfect safe location. The facilities are brilliant for young children and early teens ,with bikes, footballs, pedal toys and the play barn is like a toy shop. The swimming pool is lovely and warm and well maintained. The cottages are beautifully decorated and equipped with practically everything you need for your stay. The only things we actually needed to buy were cling film, aluminium foil and extra loo rolls! The only small issue was condensation in the bathroom after showering, probably needs a better ventilator installed. Would love to come again"

"We have had yet another brilliant stay at Lowerwood Farm. This time included Halloween when Jill and her family provided a fun, safe environment for children of all ages to enjoy the evening. (mulled wine for the parents and grandparents - much appreciated).
The pool is a wonderful place to spend some time and the grandchildren are improving their water skills all the time. A visit to nearby Thrigby Hall was thoroughly enjoyed.
I would absolutely recommend staying at Lowerwood."

"We really enjoyed our stay at Lower Wood Farm. Braeburn Barn was ideal for larger families. The facilities were excellent and numerous extras were provided for us. Children are extremely well catered for. The Play Barn caters for all ages. Having an indoor swimming pool really added to the holiday and ensures there is plenty to do on a wet day. It's an ideal place for a British holiday. There is plenty of parking and being able to charge our electric car while we were there was really useful.
Jill and her team were very friendly and helpful."
