Poplar Bungalow is in an idyllic rural location with wildlife that can be seen just by looking out of the window. Local amenities are not plentiful nearby because of the location, but we were most happy with this. There is a useful shop/cafe in nearby Lyng. The countryside is lovely for walks. The owner was very kind and helpful and we would be pleased to stay at this accommodation again.The directions supplied by Cottages.com which we tried to follow were not accurate and caused difficulty. We resorted to the sat.nav.

We had a great-relaxing week at Poplar bungalow. The owners made us feel welcome and nothing was too much trouble.
This holiday home is well situated for visiting most of Norfolk's attractions/places of interest and only ten minutes to Norwich park and ride.
We will definitely stay again.

Had a wonderful time at Poplar Bungalow. In a beautiful rural location but with plenty of attractions only a stone's throw away. The bungalow was comfortable and cosy and had everything which we needed. Our dog absolutely loved his stay as well and really enjoyed the garden. Would definitely visit again.

cheerfully furnished bungalow with bright, airy and spacious lounge and bedrooms; kitchen diner is cosy. Nice, private, good sized garden. Friendly and helpful owners. Bit disappointed with level of cleanliness - fridge was rather grubby and certain areas seemed to have missed the duster. Nonetheless, would recommend this property.

Very good cottage to stay in offers seclusion, space and a good base. Only downside is no WiFi. We wrongly assumed with it being 2020 that all holiday let’s have WiFi. Process for checking in was great with the restrictions. Lovely owners that were happy to help if needed.

Visited for a short break to celebrate my elderly mums birthday. The cottage was spotless and lovely and warm. Dog friendly with a field next to it to exercise your dog. Plenty of places close by to eat, and a shop in the village for any necessities, eg wine. Would certainly visit again.

Owners made us very welcome.
Owners made us very welcome. Location ideal if like us you love the countryside. The bungalow was very comfortable and we wanted for nothing. Location was in easy reach of the park & ride for Norwich. We also travelled to the coast easily & the broads at Wroxham. Lovely holiday would certainly use Poplar Bungalow in the future!
Lovely bungalow set in beautiful surroundings. Lots of local walks for our four legged friend.
Great to enjoy the countryside. Comfortable home from home. No Wifi, no problem.
