April 2019
A lovely, lovely stay! I was so pleased to return for more rest, peace and relaxation and bring a new friend to visit. We were very comfortable. Everything we needed was here and so much to do in the neighbourhood. Can't wait to come again! Thank you.
Third time here at Rural Roosts - different lodge but still the exact high standards. Excellent fishing both on lodge lake and reservoir. Very lucky with the weather we have had this week. Cannot recommend this place enough - we always relax the minute we arrive. We will be back again next year, thank you Tim & Katie for another enjoyable stay.
March 2019
Another wonderful break here at Rural Roosts. Mick caught plenty of fish everyday whilst I enjoyed some lovely walks around the farm and surrounding area, beautiful and peaceful! Plus the hot tub to relax in. The weather also changed and was 100%better than we expected. As before the lemon cake was best ever tasted. Hope to be back next year, thanks so much Katie and Tim.
First visit to Rural Roosts, loved Swan Lodge! Our stay has been lovely, the weather was fantastic for March. Hubby has enjoyed the fishing on the carp pool. We feel very relaxed, we will definitely return!
February 2019
Excellent as ever. Wonderful relaxing break. Brilliant weather. Walked miles with the dogs in the expansive grounds. Lovely to arrive to welcome pack, especially the Lemon Drizzle cake! We'll be back soon. Thank you for such a calm, relaxing environment.
Wow! We have absolutely loved our break at Swan Lodge. From start to finish it has been so relaxing and perfect. Everything you could need is catered for and the attention to detail is second to none. We loved the setting, hot-tub, lodge - just wonderful. We did venture out to the Ivy in Wragby for a lovely Sunday lunch but couldn't wait to get back. We will definitely be back (as soon as possible!). Thank you so much, we will also be encouraging friends and family to visit. P.s The lemon cake - yummy! We will be taking some from the shop home too! Thanks again 🙂

Another wonderful break! Last minute break, decided to visit again to relax before Christmas, LOVE IT HERE, we can't get enough! Roll on March for our first visit of 2019. This place is heaven.
What a wonderful lodge in an idyllic location. Spotlessly clean, well maintained and very homely. Ten minute drive to my Dad and sister in Reepham and Cherry Willingham so very convenient. Katie was very attentive and available at all times - thank you! Will definitely consider staying here again when we visit our family - perfect in every way.
Thank you Rural Roosts - you made our Christmas very special.
November 2018
Had and amazing relaxing week. Kids loved it, especially the little play area. Been here loads of times. The cabins are the best by far, everything you could possibly need. Georgia (the dog) loved the new fenced off area. Thank you Rural Roostrs for an amazing time!
October 2018
Wonderful! Kim treated me to this visit for my 50th Birthday. To walk into immaculate accommodation and feel immediately ‘at home’ takes some doing. The welcome cake, bread, fruit and milk makes you feel at ease. Very clean, everything you need for a relaxing stay. Loved the fishing and the wonderful walks. Booked to come again next year after being here a day! Thank you so much for such a relaxing location!
Stunning, tranquil, relaxing, perfect are just a few words I would use to describe this place. Loved everything about the lodge. Welcome gifts went down a treat!! Hot tub is fab particularly after an enjoyable days fishing.
September 2018
Returned for the third time, so peaceful. Everything beautifully kept. Gad to see the bushes have grown back as fish play hide and seek under them. Carp, tench, roach, rudd, perch and bream. Had a lovely time. Many thanks and see you all next time.
Gorgeous setting, beautiful cabin, very clean and home from home. Came to relax and fish for hubby’s birthday. Will definately return.
August 2018
Wow! What a beautiful setting and of course the lodge. Everything you need and more. We really appreciated the welcome pack. Its our first time here and I certainly don’t think it will be our last. We’ve had a relaxing week, such beautiful countryside. Our daughter and son came for a long weekend with their partners and they thought the lodge was fantastic too, they didn’t want to go home. We were all made to feel welcome as soon as we arrived, nothing too much trouble. Thanks you!
Our first time back for three years and didn’t know how much we had missed this place. Just the same as ever FIRST CLASS, thank you, hope to be back again.
July 2018
Had a lovely relaxing stay. Welcome pack was greatly appreciated, especially the lemon drizzle cake. The weather was wall to wall sunshine everyday and the fishing was good. Very comfortable lodge and in a lovely setting, could have sat outside with a glass of wine and a book for another week! Would recommend the Lincolnshire Airbase museum with Lancaster Bomber. Lodge very comfortable and clean, hope to be back again.
Another lovely weeks holiday, peace, tranquillity and nature. The reservoir fishing was superb, approximately 25lb of carp over the week (biggest being 18lb). Warm days and balmy nights….marvelous! See you next year.
June 2018
This is an amazing lodge and it made our holiday soooo fun! We would definitely recommend this place, this is a great memory. Katie and Tim are fantastic and friendly people and we hope to come again. We caught 30 fish in total and are really happy! The lemon drizzle cake was amazing and the hot tub was fantastic (we loved it a lot!).
Such a beautiful, tranquil setting and everything provided for a lovely relaxing holiday. Our dogs loved all the walks. Defo 5 stars! Hope to visit again.
May 2018
Our 2nd visit and even better than last time. Everything was amazing as we’d remembered and there are some lovely new additions to the site that make it better than ever. Its been a lovely stress free weekend and we don’t want to leave. Looks like we will be coming back as my wife didn’t finish one of the books in the lodge! Thanks Tim, Katie and all the staff x
Our 2nd visit to Rural Roosts staying in Tawny Lodge – as good as we remembered. Accommodation superb, a very high standard. Thoroughly relaxing. Great fishing (over 28 fish caught on reservoir, up to 15lb). Lovely welcome pack. Will be back again next year. Thanks Tim and Katie from The Banks family.
April 2018
Our second visit to Rural Roosts – the first was a quick getaway before our wedding two years ago, and now we have returned, married and with our 1 year old daughter! We’ve all had such a lovely time, it’s so peaceful and calming. The fishing is great and we’ve made use of the play area too this time! The weather wasn’t ideal but it just made the evenings cosier.
March 2018
This is our first stay and very much loved every minute. With fantastic hosts and a very clean and comfortable lodge, it has been superb. We have enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub and have had best nights sleep in ages. This is a fantastic and well looked after lodge and venue. Jay enjoyed the fishing, we liked having all the wildlife on your doorstep with a little robin visiting us daily. Thank you for a great stay, we will definitely be back!
What a shame its time to leave Rural Roosts. We never get tired of coming and will return again and again and again. Next time we will have to stay longer. Loved the baby calves and the morning visits from the kingfisher. This place is true ‘timeout’ from life’s hassles. Thanks to Katie and team, see you soon!
February 2018
Another perfect stay!! Plenty of fish caught despite the very cold weather. Everything perfect as usual, this must be our 15th visit and we could never get bored of this beautiful place.
January 2018
Our first time here. Place recommended on pet friendly web by someone. Views are amazing, you can really find your soul here, especially if you live (like us) in a city. Relaxing, peaceful, quiet location – just what we needed. Lodge – above our expectations, big, clean – amazing. Milk, bread fruits – lovely surprise – thanks for this. Idyllic place to read, write and charge your batteries. Hope to be back later this year. Thank you x
