Here's what some of our previous guests have to say....
We had the most incredible stay in Wren Cottage. Only stayed for two nights but it was wonderful 😊 Cannot thank the team enough for getting our room ready for us. The bed was the most comfortable bed I have ever stayed in. Bathroom had fresh fluffy towels and the shower was lovely. The kitchen is fully functioning with oven, hobs, kettle, fridge freezer, toaster, dishwasher and washing machine. The walks around the area were close by and amazing to watch the birds and hear them in the morning. You can also hear the RAF planes above when they pass by 🥰 Thankyou for a lovely stay, we will be back ❤️

Woodcutters Cottage is in the most beautiful peaceful location to spend time relaxing …. We enjoyed long walks around the forest and delicious hot drinks at the Baa cafe !… the cottage itself is gorgeous, spotlessly clean, spacious and has fantastic amenities , as well as a relaxing outside area where we enjoyed a bbq and relaxing on the deck chairs!.. We already plan to return next year ! What a hidden gem!

It was a very peaceful place to enjoy the forest
Daniela, August 2024 (Airbnb)
A lovely set of cottages, beautifully situated in fantastic surroundings. The arboretum is literally right there and is magnificent. Lovely for morning walks finishing off at the shepherds baa (😄) for a coffee and a snack! Loads of parking of course. There's not a lot to do in Mundford but the food in the crown hotel was excellent. A real delight! We loved every minute of it. PS. A short drive to the Twenty Churchwardens pub ... excellent pints and a quiet pleasant atmosphere.
Shlomo, August 2024 (Airbnb)
An amazing and peaceful place. Finches cottage was clean and spacious. The outdoor space is amazing surrounded by trees. Would highly recommend.

Had a lovely weekend in Crossbills. The Shepherd’s Baa was a real highlight too. Would definitely recommend to friends and family.
Rachel, August 2024 (Airbnb)
Fantastic property, really nicely furnished, great spot and really quiet. Nice touch with voucher for the small cafe within walking distance. The Woodcutter’s Cottage is beautiful, would like to try one of the other cottages too.

A wonderful weekend in a lovely cottage in beautiful surroundings
David, August 2024 (Airbnb)
Other B&Bs could learn a few pointers from these hosts. Milk in the fridge when you arrive and everything you need after a long journey. Exceptionally friendly and welcoming. This was our third trip here, so we are familiar with some of the lovely walks and surrounding countryside on offer and on your doorstep. We are looking forward to booking again already!
Jonathan, August 2024 (Airbnb)
Been coming to Lynford Gardens for a few years. The accommodation and the area is absolutely 1st class. Our favourite accommodation and area to stay. Would definitely recommend to families, couples, and individuals. Ticks all the boxes. Surrounding area has great forestry, reservoir, and sporting days out at the High Lodge Thetford Forest. Don't forget Brandon country park, as well as the Arboretum (right on doorstep). Shepherd's Baa is a must. Amazing snacks and drinks. Fabulous place to stay.
Mark, August 2024 (Airbnb)
Beautiful surroundings and very comfortable. We also enjoyed a swim in Lynford Water.
Cathy, July 2024 (Airbnb)

Wonderful peaceful place set in beautiful well maintained grounds.
Jonathan, July 2024 (Airbnb)
Our 2nd stay here, we had a fantastic time again, the cottage is extremely clean and wonderfully decorated you really do feel at ‘home’ here. The grounds are beautiful surrounded by many different flowers and trees with a short walk to a beautiful lake. Would really recommend, had a relaxing stay even with two kids! Melanie and her husband are extremely welcoming and helpful Thank you both!
Zara, July 2024 (Airbnb)
Everything, location, cottage, all perfect. We would definitely visit again, soon.
Stephen, July 2024 (Booking.com)
Beautiful, peaceful and yet modern & fully equipped. This our third stay at the cottages at Lynford Gardens - and the third different cottage we have stayed in - all three were top drawer in quality, fittings & ambience. There are beautiful walks at your doorstep here and it makes for the perfect “get away from it all” break.
Pete, July 2024 (Trip Adviser)
It is a cozy, quaint, and well-equipped cottage—the best I’ve stayed in! Beautiful nature surroundings! Loved it!
We flew from Japan to England and we were not sure where to stay. We could have stayed in London, Cambridge, or Oxford areas. However, the sheer beauty of the place and its uniqueness drove us to stay at the Cottage, and the fact that it is surrounded by a forest made our decision even more appealing. The place is well equipped with all the amenities of a home and fast internet to watch Netflix, etc. It was an excellent choice of a stay! Super cozy and lavish decor, including a fire pit, BBQ, and areas to eat outdoors! We loved it! I would stay there again.
Xom, July 2024 (Trip Adviser)
Excellent short break, cottage was well equipped and comfortable, everything you could want in lovely surroundings for walking birdwatching and all things nature. The Shepherds Baa cafe close by is an extra bonus. Would love to make return visit.
Susan, July 2024 (Trip Adviser)
Highly recommended. The home was very clean and modern. It is in an area that is very quiet. The host left us some snacks/milk in the home and they also gave our family a voucher to use at the Shepards Baa food truck on site. We would definitely stay here again and would recommend it to others.
Heyzeus, July 2024 (Trip Adviser)
A beautiful place in a lovely location
Kirsty, July 2024 (Airbnb)
Wren Cottage was beautiful with lovely outside space for relaxing in. The location in the forest is fantastic and the Shepherds Baa is an excellent spot for a snack.
Matthew, July 2024 (Airbnb)
Amazing place, lovely walks in the surrounding area! Wren cottage is lovely, would highly recommend to everyone!
Oliver, July 2024 (Airbnb)
I use this place very frequently for work purposes, have stayed in most of the cottages and they all meet (and exceed) the standards that are advertised. No detail has been left out ensuring they're set up to give customers the feeling of being at home whilst being away, ideally placed in the forest to suit the travelling worker, fitness & nature enthusiasts & its still local towns & and cities. What makes this place really special is the people who keep it going & looking perfect all day everyday. They are all passionate about the site which was once an overgrown wreck and has now been transformed onto the most tranquil setting one can imagine. The bookings team, grounds staff & houskeeping staff really do go out of their way to make every visit special, they're a credit to the owners who also live onsite with their friendly dogs. My absolute “go to” place when I’m working in the area kitted out with everything required to ensure customers gave the most perfect stay. 10/10….outstanding !!!

This was our third stay at the cottages at Lynford Gardens - and the third different cottage we have stayed in - all were absolutely top drawer in quality, fittings and ambience- there are really lovely walks at your doorstep and it makes for the perfect get away from it all relaxing break

A lovely place to stay. Very warm and the garden was great. Some lovely walks nearby and the coffee van was excellent!
Anna, July 2024 (Google)
Perfect stay. Wren is a beautiful cottage, very clean and had everything that you would need. The location was perfect, very peaceful setting with stunning gardens to enjoy. Lots of lovely walks direct from the property. Will definitely return.
Alison, June 2024 (Booking.com)
Robins Rest is a serene cottage in the middle of forest. I like the style of the cottages and the location of the place. Quiet area surrounded by woods. A lot of wildlife and serene forest paths to enjoy. The cottage was very comfortable and clean. Beautiful decor and lovely well kept gardens. Definitely recommend for time away from the city lights.
Ewelina, June 2024 (Booking.com)
We flew from South Korea to vacation in England. Suffolk/Norfolk areas are amazing! Super quaint place. The place is beautiful and quiet! It's a great break from the loudness of the city! The fire pit and bbq area was great!!
Everything was great with super fast internet! I would book it again!
Xavier, June 2024 (Booking.com)
Visit regularly as family in area, always a joy - gem in the forest, great escape and ideal base to explore local area.
Ellen, June 2024 (Airbnb)
We had a lovely stay at Wagtail Cottage. The space was perfect for us as a family of 4 with two under 5s - plenty of space and the outside area is amazing by for kids. Love the nearby Shepherds Baa cafe and the voucher for drinks and snacks was a very welcome touch. We were visiting for a wedding so didn’t see much of the local area but really enjoyed the peace and quiet, the birdsong and the trees. Directions were clear and communication great throughout. Thank you - we’d love to come back!
Hannah, June 2024 (Airbnb)
Wren is a nice, comfy little cottage. The host was responsive and helpful, very sweet. Would definitely recommend and visit again.
Filip, June 2024 (Airbnb)
Stunning garden is spring/summer. Visited friends staying at Finches Cottage. Theirs was a two bed cottage, very cozy and well equipped. Set in absolutely beautiful gardens with a bbq and stocked undercover fire pit area. The photos do not do the place justice and the site really needs to update them to let people know what a lovely place it is.
Dudley, June 2024 (Trip Adviser)
Beautiful spot for a weekend away.
Jos, June 2024 (Airbnb)
Finches is a beautiful cottage in a lovely location. We loved our stay here and want to come back.
Sophie, June 2024 (Airbnb)
Wren cottage is lovely, comfortable, well designed and perfect for a relaxing, peaceful break. The gardens are beautiful and the location, surrounded by the arboretum, lake and forest sets the place apart.
Could spend days doing nothing but walking in circles! Good info from Melanie, everything was so easy.
Lawrence, May 2024 (Airbnb)
The place was perfect and had everything we needed, really relaxing and very clean. Thank you so much for our stay.
Isobel, May 2024 (Airbnb)
What a beautiful weekend we’ve had here. We came to celebrate our 6 year anniversary and brought along our 1 year old, this was a spontaneous trip booked the night before arrival and I’m so glad we chose Melanie’s Finches cottage. The home itself was beautiful and clean, lots of space and well equipped, there was even a cute picnic basket with a cool box to use. The surroundings were equally as stunning, so tranquil and peaceful (even with a 1 year old). We had full use of the walled & gated garden as well as the fire pit outside, which we made use of on our first night, everything down to firelighters were provided for us which was even better. The hosts really have thought of everything with these properties. Although there is more than one property within the grounds, you feel as though you’re completely on your own, and have plenty of privacy. We also had a complimentary drink each gifted to use for the Shepard’s Baa. We would 100% recommend and rebook ❤️
Toni, May 2024 (Airbnb)
Wren cottage is a lovely little studio space nestled within the forest. Lots of trails to follow and places to explore.
Chris, May 2024 (Airbnb)
Lovely spot right in the heart of the forest. Finches cottage was extremely clean. Gardens are beautiful. Equipped for basic cooking.
Jasmin, May 2024 (Airbnb)
A last minute break, and it couldn't have been more perfect. A short walk to the local pub, a whole day’s worth of walking around the forest. We made full use of the fire pit both evenings that we were there. Beautiful gardens. We would highly recommend.
Tracey, May 2024 (Airbnb)
I've been thinking about staying somewhere quiet, close to a forest. Wren Cottage was a perfect match. I absolutely love it! Louise's instructions were super clear! I hope to stay there again!
Andrey, May 2024 (Airbnb)
Loved our short stay If you want to stay in Thetford forest you won’t find a better location than this.
Danielle, April 2024 (Airbnb)
Lovely place in a beautiful spot. Particularly enjoyed sitting around the firepit, and the complimentary drinks and snacks from the Baa were a nice touch!
Jamie, April 2024 (Airbnb)
Lovely place for a long weekend with the family. The location is fantastic, right next to the Lynford Arboretum but tucked away enough to feel secluded from the day visitors. Baby friendly, had the cot prepared before our arrival and a lovely private garden with fireplace and bbq for the evenings
Sven, April 2024 (Airbnb)
Perfect peaceful break. Beautiful setting, lovely cottage. Very peaceful.
Michelle, April 2024 (Booking.com)
Wonderful weekend in Crossbills cottage, great location…definitely return. Location excellent. Cottage was exceptional. Everything & more than you needed. Chris was very friendly made us welcome. Complimentary coffee & cake at the Baa. It was just perfect for us. Birdwatching was good too.!

Great spot. We have stayed here many times and are so grateful it is available to us.

Beautiful cottage. Very peaceful location. The voucher for the Shepherds Baa was a lovely touch - thank you.
Nerys, March 2024 (Airbnb)
Beautifully restored cottages. nice and safe for our 2 year old to play in garden and woods. Amazing location with arboretum one way and lakes the other. So much birdsong and loved the complementary cake and drink from the little Shepherds Baa hut.
Ben, March 2024 (Airbnb)
Beautiful and unique setting in converted old walled garden. Great location for walking and top birdwatching on the doorstep.
Ken, March 2024 (Airbnb)
We stayed in Finches Cottage towards end of February with family. House is beautiful and you feel it the moment you step inside. Check-in was easy and everything was well arranged. Onsite EV charger was really useful for us. Location is awesome and we went for bird watching every day of our stay. Host was very quick to respond with any queries we had. Nearby pubs serve good food. We will look to revisit in summer.
Amit, February 2024 (Airbnb)
Absolutely ideal, exactly what we were looking for. Quite isolated location but perfect for walks. Nice touch with the Shepards Baa voucher.
Mark, February 2024 (Airbnb)
A fantastic stay - everything was to a high standard and quality. Loved the fire pit and amazing walks. Thanks so much.
Karin, January 2024 (Airbnb)
This was a return visit for us and our second stay. It is so peaceful and idyllic, lots of wonderful walks in the arboretum, super Shepherds Baa cafe just nearby, with exceptional cakes and drinks. The cottage is a fantastic base for a retreat and a real opportunity to recharge those batteries!
Nik, January 2024 (Airbnb)
Lovely hospitable accommodation in beautiful Thetford forest area.
Danielle, January 2024 (Airbnb)
Robins Rest is a lovely cottage, everything you’d need in a quiet & peaceful location.
Kristian, January 2024 (Airbnb)
Wagtail cottage is a fantastic accommodation in a fairytale setting
Leo, 2024 (Booking.com)
We had a really nice relaxed stay in a beautiful cottage in a beautiful setting. The Wren studio was very warm, comfortable and clean & in such a beautiful setting on the property & all around. We loved the fire pit area & did use it one evening. The Shepherds Baa on the corner is fantastic but soup & toasties would make it perfect 😉 but the cakes, bakes & coffees are delicious. A very peaceful relaxing place to stay.
Jo, December 2023 (Booking.com)
We had a wonderful relaxing stay right in the forest. Robins Rest cottage was beautiful and very well equipped and will definitely be back!
Lucy, December 2023 (Airbnb)
Our 4th time in Mundford and we love the place. It is a beautiful setting and the cottages are all clean, well equipped and nicely outfitted. The wall garden is great for kids and we just feel right at home amongst the trees. Highly recommend.
