Scenic orchard site on a Norfolk farm
Half an hour from Thetford Forest and 50 minutes from Norwich
Craft courses and farm shop selling honey, bread and veg

In need of a peaceful getaway that lets you unwind? Guests should thread their way along to Brakehill Lodge Farm, a family-friendly orchard site on a Norfolk farm half an hour’s drive from Thetford. With a whole farm to explore, there are scenic walks to take and lengthy bike rides to make, and the peace and quiet to sit down and finally finish that book that’s been taking up space on the nightstand… If switching off completely doesn’t quite fit the bill, never fear: the site regularly runs a whole host of craft courses, from soap and candle making to beekeeping (just remember to ask ahead about what will be running during your stay). The site is also home to a woodfired pizza oven – just let the site team know if you want to join in and fresh pizza and salad will be ready for your arrival. The site’s also within half an hour of Thetford Forest, putting guests within easy reach of lots of walks, mountain biking trails and the long-distance Peddars Way. All of that might be hungry work it's handy that there’s a small shop in the farmhouse back on site where honey, homemade bread and homegrown veg can be picked up.

Orchard powered grass tent site

Liked: We absolutely loved this site. We stayed on the tent pitches. There was one other family tent pitch on the bank holiday weekend with the shepherd huts and tipi’s set up in separate fields. It felt like we had the place to ourselves with loads of room for the kids to fun around and play hide and seek amongst the trees. It was windy during our stay but there was a line of trees braking the wind which we hardly noticed. We had one rainy day so we spent that morning in the games room which the kids (3 & 6) loved. You have everything you need with a kettle, washing up facilities, fridges and charging points. 2 toilets and 2 showers which were kept clean and were always free. It’s a tranquil and peaceful site based on a quiet farm with the owners available should you need anything. As other reviewers have said the pizzas on Saturday night were fantastic, just make sure you put your order in before. We’ll definitely be back

Liked: We loved staying here for 2 nights with our kids (5, 3 and 0). Facilities are great with toilets, showers, little kitchen area with fridge, kettle, hot running water. The rustic barn is also used for weddings and the whole area had a lovely feel to it. It was beautiful! Glamping tents were very clean and came with kettle, mugs, some plates, currently, cooking utensils etc. They also provided towels, bedding for the double bed and sleeping bags and blankets for the blow ups. Homemade woodfired pizzas were available at an extra cost which were delicious. We loved it and would definitely return. Thanks for a great stay! ✨

Orchard powered grass tent site

Liked: Loved the welcoming from Alex & Clare within the beautiful grounds surrounded by Poplar trees. Very peaceful setting, in the middle of nowhere, horses grazing, ducks wandering around the site, one is at true bliss. We camped for the two nights and the facilities there are very good. Homemade pizzas prepped and cooked in front of us alfresco on the second night from the hosts themselves was a great experience, my son quoted "that was the best pizza I have ever had!". Would recommend to all.

Liked: Quiet, remote and relaxing location, small number of bell tents onsite. Good set up for each tent with everything needed to enjoy a relaxed stay.

Disliked: Very little to dislike in reality, tents maybe a little close to each other to allow better privacy, but a minor point.

Liked: Absolutely fantastic experience at Brakehill Lodge booked through Pitchedup.com! We brought our own tent and were delighted with the electric hitch-up provided, which made our stay even more convenient. The location was stunning, and the facilities were immaculate. Booking was seamless, and the service from start to finish was top-notch. Highly recommend and can't wait to return! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Local attractions

Attention all fishing fans angling for a real catch of a getaway: will proximity to the well-stocked and spectacularly scenic Loch Neaton fishing lake (a mere 10-minute drive from base) prove to be enough of a lure? Claim yourself a corner of riverbank and cast a line to try and land carp, bream, perch, roach, rudd, tench or pike in a lucky catch. Not everyone’s a fan of quiet afternoons with rod and reel, of course. Not to worry, there's plenty more around… The Norfolk coast is about an hour’s drive away – head to Holkham beach for swimming and sandy strolls, or make Great Yarmouth the target if the family likes its beaches with a side order of zoo, aquarium, model village, pleasure pier and casino. History hounds will be well-served hereabouts. The market town of Hingham is 15 minutes from the site and is chock-full of stunning Georgian architecture to gaze upon, and the spectacular moated Oxburgh Hall is half an hour away. Prefer to be nosing around in the much more distant past? The Neolithic flint mine Grime’s Graves is well worth a pitstop. Anyone needing a day of shopping and culture should get in the car for the 50-minute drive to Norwich city centre to explore England’s biggest six-day indoor market and check some of the Norwich 12 (the city’s most iconic buildings) off the list.
