A brief history of White Lodge Farm Cottages

Picture of White Lodge Farm when in operation The cottages are set in the heart of rural Norfolk, where the productivity of the soil has meant that agriculture has been the principal land use for many centuries.

Horses were used at White Lodge Farm for many years White Lodge Farm was principally a dairy farm and worked by horses less than 40 years ago. Although commercial farming ceased in 1996, the meadows are still surrounded by arable farmland, producing principally sugar beet, rape, wheat and potatoes. However dairy cattle, sheep, pigs and geese are all raised in the area.

Picture of dilapidated buildings, long since gone, at White Lodge Farm Having acquired White Lodge Farm in 2000, Helen & Tony set about converting the remaining buildings around the former cattle yard into the comfortable accommodation which today forms White Lodge Farm Cottages. Thankfully, they were in rather better condition than the building pictured here, which, perhaps unsurprisingly, had disappeared by the time that Helen & Tony bought White Lodge Farm!

Picture of the completed buildings The painstaking process of the conversions started early in 2001 with work on the old dairy (now Dairy Cottage). Work on the disused barn (now The Barn) was next instigated and finally work was begun on the former stables and harness room (now Stable Cottage).

The aim was to provide quality self-catering accommodation for the more discerning visitor and attention to detail and to the requirements of modern living throughout the conversion process and into the decoration, furnishing and equipping of the cottages has led to the comfortable and well-appointed accommodation now on offer as White Lodge Farm Cottages.
