Bartles Lodge is a gem of a hotel. It’s situated in a very peaceful and serene village, making it the perfect getaway from the hustle and bustle of day to day life.

The rooms are spacious, comfortable and cosy, offering all the amenities you’d expect and more. While subjective, I found the bed to be one of the most comfortable I’ve had in recent memory.

When it comes to breakfast, the spread on offer is fantastic: cereals, toast, pastries, chocolates, fruits and a selection of cooked offerings.

The wonderful owners go above and beyond to make you feel welcome and looked after; they couldn’t have done more to make us feel at home.

After living out of business hotels for the past two years, Bartles Lodge was a welcome breath of fresh air.

If I find myself needing lodging in the area again, I’ll be looking to book here.

Peaceful and relaxing stay.

We had a lovely stay at Bartles. The setting is wonderful, it is so peaceful and there are 3 fishing lakes in the grounds if you are into fishing. Ducks and hens run loose in the grounds. Sue, the owner, is so kind and helpful. It feels like you are a guest in someone's home rather than a hotel.

Beautiful property with 3 lakes, lovely hosts

If you're looking for an 'almost middle of nowhere' experience but with a good location, Bartles lodge is a great place :) We stayed for 3 nights, and drove to various sites around Norfolk from Kings Lynn to Wells to Norwich, all within 40-ish mins or less.

There is ample parking out front. Our room was clean and cosy, with modern shower facilities. Even though we visited end of May it was a bit chilly, fortunately there was an electric heater as backup, and the central heating was turned on. Cooked breakfast to order is included, which we really enjoyed.

Richard and Su were great hosts, especially Su who went out of her way to have a chat with us every morning, as well as offering some guidance on places to see nearby. Also their flexibility with a later check-in on the first night was appreciated as we got stuck in M25 bank holiday traffic but called to let them know.

The village of Elsing is quaint and quiet, the 600+year old church just across the road is worth a visit, and there are lots of nice walks all around. The property itself is very picturesque, with three lakes and lots of ducks/geese, you could quite easily spend a day just there relaxing, or going fishing if that is your thing as the lakes had a lot of fish.

We would happily visit again!

We only stayed one night while visiting friends. The room was clean, warm and comfortable, breakfast was very good, and our hostess was very helpful and friendly. We visited in November, in the low season, and were the only guests. It will be a lovely peaceful retreat in the summer, but, beware, it is quite remote, with few nearby servcies. You certainly need a car.

Great place !

We spent 3 nights at the Bartles Lodge and absolutely loved it. It was the ideal place for a peaceful holiday. The hosts were fantastic. They were very friendly and always helpful. The free breakfast was very enjoyable and once we tried the dinner and we were not disappointed. They have a bar which stocks beer, wine and soft drinks. Prices are comparable to supermarket prices. Grounds are great for a nice walks around the 3 lakes. Room was very comfortable and had everything we needed. We hope to make a return trip soon.

Bartles Lodge was a perfect find for us. Convenient for our Norfolk overnight stay. Su was a very welcoming host and ensured we knew where to go for breakfast explaining times and the request to complete the cooked breakfast form the evening before. We had booked two rooms and both were very clean and comfortable. The bed linen and towels were good quality. The breakfast was exceptional and included steak in place of bacon. The honesty bar and evening food option were great facilities - if we had stayed longer these would have been used. The grounds and lakes also looked lovely but we didn’t have time to walk around.

Weekend Family Visit

Fantastic stay in a great lodge. Room is large and very comfortable with huge en-suite. Breakfast is a hearty combination of continental and full English with a twist and not to be missed. Although a lodge mainly for those fishing it has beautiful countryside around and is close to Dereham and main routes to Norwich so a good place to stay for weekends and short breaks. Staff were so friendly on phone and in person so very much recommended and nothing negative to say.

Relaxing hideaway

Surrounded by countryside, hearing ducks and owls, its the perfect place to relax.
The room was clean and spacious for 2, the seats in the room were comfy with tea, coffee and hot choc available in the room.
Theres a lounge area that anyone can use with some books, leaflets for local things to do and an honesty bar. The breakfast room is so spacious that you have your own table and space around it. There's a great selection of cereals, bars, muffins, pastries etc, help yourself to toast and they'll take your cooked food order at the table.
Its in a great location for exploring Norfolk and there are some lovely local pubs for evening meals.

Bartles Lodge is the perfect place to stay for a peaceful relaxing break. Our room was delightful, with a comfortable king sized bed, sofa, plenty of storage space and a lovely walk in shower. The excellent tea/coffee supplies were replenished daily including drinking chocolate, biscuits and plenty of milk. Breakfast was perfect-cold buffet items and a freshly cooked full english.

Lovely location

Lovely location with spacious, pleasant, clean rooms in an 'independent' layout, and attentive hosts. Peaceful, quiet spot, and the view outside the room window was relaxing and not overlooked. Don't rely on Hotels.com to pass on the details of when you expect to arrive (I was arriving late and the information I'd put into Hotels.com hadn't been received by the hosts). The bed I slept in was very firm. There is an eye to environmental concerns, which is rather undone by the individual plastic-wrapped portions of products (tricky to get the balance in these 'covid' times I realise). Please could you review the tea bags that you use? The mint tea didn't taste of mint at all, and the tea in the rooms didn't make for a refreshing cuppa which I really needed at the end of a long day and lengthy drive. Thank you for your hospitality.

quiet and peaceful

the lodge is situated in countryside and suited my needs more than adequately.The proprietor and staff couldn't have been more helpful. Evening meals at the Mermaid pub next door were always excellent. Room was warm, clean, comfortable and reasonably priced.
Some may regard it as a little isolated but as it caters mainly for keen anglers in the season that is to be expected. We were visiting my brother and his wife who live a few miles away, as they are in poor health we decided a hotel would be better for us to stay in and see them during the day. As we live in a busy conurbation where the traffic never stops the and everything woks 24/7 we just wanted somewhere away from all that an Bartles Lodge suited us down to the ground.

Quiet hotel in the country

Rooms are separate around a courtyard. Comfortable and quiet. Bar, dining room and lounge are central and welcoming. Large grounds with fishing lakes. No mobile phone service.

Interesting lodgings focused perhaps on the fishing community, which would explain the unusually early breakfast on a a sunday morning. Nice grounds with fishing ponds and very much out of the way.

Long Weekend Break in February

It was great service and the friendly conversations about the local and wider area were very helpful. The super king size bed was very comfortable and even during the very cold weather we felt well looked after. The breakfast was excellent with a lot of choice and very freshly cooked. The Hotel position was very beautiful with the lakes, ducks and other small animals and our dog loved it, just as we did.

clean and peaceful.

We were visiting the thursford Christmas spectacular so needed somewhere near........this was the nearest I could find and was pleasantly surprised. This is a lovely little quaint lodge with only six rooms. With a rural setting and three fishing lakes and also a bit off the beaten track so also quiet and peaceful..
I would recommend this if you fancy fishing or somewhere tranquil to relax.
Also reasonably priced too.

Basic living. Damp on walls - TV had large crack

as above - plus, beds too soft, wardrobe too small for 2 peoples clothes,
The staff were very friendly - it served a purpose and did not spoil our weekend but for the price i expected better.

Amazing weekend getaway retreat

One night stay for a close by wedding at Lenwade House. Host was attentive, friendly and down to earth. Location was very rural (watch out for those single lane roads along the way). Very peaceful location - loads of wildlife in the surrounding gardens. Room had a great bed and up to date shower/toilet. TV in room was a bit small and wifi didn't work, but those are two very minor gripes. Breakfast in morning was good, and honesty bar was a godsend for any late night drinks.
