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.

Not near the coast but Bartles Lodge offers a warm welcome, decent accommodation and a brilliant breakfast. Would recommend The Lodge at North Tuddenham for dinner.

Lovely location and great stay
We stayed here as a couple for a night away. It's in a quaint and quiet village with beautiful surroundings. The host met us on arrival and was helpful and friendly. We had a lovely night's sleep. We enjoyed breakfast too!

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!

A lovely property in beautiful grounds. The hosts Su and Paul were friendly and nothing was too much trouble. A nice touch was the honesty bar which was well stocked. Breakfast was lovely and more choice than most hotels. I would reccomend a stay to anyone. Thanks Martin and Glennis

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.
