We loved our stay at Ruston Lodge. Large and spacious with a good sized kitchen and lovely big kitchen table. All three bedrooms were a good size and beds were comfortable. The flowers, cake and milk were a lovely welcome and it was good to find tea, coffee and a good supply of cleaning materials. We loved the quiet and safe garden. RustoRead moren Lodge is In a great location for the lovely Norfolk coast. Would certainly recommend Hide

I rated 3 for cleanliness only because both the shower cubicles had mould on quite a few of the tiles & the shower taps weren't very clean either. I rated 4 for the equipment as no bin bags were provided or any picnic tubs for taking food out & no tea towels for drying cutlery etc either. I have stayed in a different lodge on this site before & bRead moreooked through this company with no problems before & it hasn't put me off so will defo stay again. Just a few little niggles really this time. Hide

We were a group of 6 friends and we had a lovely week visiting various tourist attractions in North Norfolk. The Lodge was very comfortable and the location peaceful.
