Bodham House was everything we wanted it to be. Plenty of room to socialise and spend family time together. House was well equipped with plenty of extra sheets, towels etc if needed. We just had to supply the food and drink. Would definitely hire again.

Amazing property, fantastic grounds, very private would love to hire again. We were a party of nine, three generations aged 66 years to 3, the property was suitable for all ages, The property owner has been thoughtful with stair gates and and furnishings, and was very helpful,repairing the outside tap so we could have a paddling pool for our youngeRead morer ones. The older grandchildren spent many happy hours on the tennis court and climbing trees. The house is very spacious with beautiful features we could not all sit around the kitchen table, but the stunning dining room, more than made up for that. The location is perfect for exploring with sherringham, Croma and Holt nearby. We did take bikes but the road was not really suitable for cycling with children. I would highly recommend this property. Hide

A very spacious and well appointed property with fabulous gardens. Worked perfectly for our family gathering of 11 ranging from 3 years old to 61 years old. Pretty much everything you could need or want is catered for and it allowed us to enjoy a fantastic long weekend break with the whole family together.

Our family had a marvellous time at Bodham House for Christmas week 2025! Our family or 13 fit perfectly in this house, with the two lounges, huge dining room and spacious kitchen, it allowed us to spend some quality time together but not get under each others feet! We also had the luxury of having the house decorated for Christmas, with a beautifuRead morel Christmas tree in the hall. The bedrooms at Bodham house were outstanding, every bed was luxuriously comfortable and there are an array of extra pillows, bedding and towels available if needed. We all slept like logs! The houses bathrooms were also great, with high pressure shower & lovely deep bath! The kitchen was fully equipped with everything you could have ever needed and more, which was perfect for cooking Christmas dinner for 13 people! The agar was great once you got the hang of it too! The kitchen also had an excellent array of lovely china sets, glasses and serving dishes! The log burners are a great touch to this property and kept us as toasty in the evenings, with more logs/kindling available in the surrounding area. We would definitely recommend taking a trip to Holt, a lovely little village with some independent shops and bakeries, as well as taking the short drive to the local beaches. Overall we cannot fault our stay at Bodham house, and would even say the photos do not do the property justice at all! Hide

We had a wonderful week at Bodham House, it has a lovely homely feel and three generations of my family settled in quickly. The house and grounds are fantastic, we played tennis, lawn bowls, water fights with the kids in the spacious and well kept gardens. Beds, pillows and bedding were great, equipment in kitchen plenty, and lots of rooms for peopRead morele to be. There were books and games, interesting art on the walls, and to top it all, the weather was perfect. We all had a fabulous time. Hide

A 3 generation family holiday, the house was a good size, well equipped & comfortable. The grounds were great for the children & the 3 dogs to run & play in. The outside facilities were just what were needed for dining outside in the warm evenings we had.
