Driftwood Lodge is a 1930's built, fully central heated, detached house, which stands in it's own grounds with a large, private car park and a double garage for motorcyles and cycles. The car park is well lit and double gates are always closed at night. The house is surrounded by pleasant, landscaped gardens with their ever changing colours.

We have three guest rooms, all on the first floor. One single and two doubles / twins, one of which can accomodate a family. All rooms have smoke alarms, 30 minute fire doors, colour televisions, radio alarm clocks, tea and coffee making facilities. There are hair dryers, towels & shower mats ans all rooms have vanity wash basins. The bathroom, shower room with W.C. and separate W.C. are adjacent to the rooms.

In the ground floor dining room, full English breakfast is served daily between 8.00am and 9.00am although it can be arranged for earlier if required. Evening meals can also be arranged. There is a colour TV, board games and books for the use and comfort of our guests at all other times and for the motoring enthusiasts amongst you, there are large showcases of Ferrari models to enjoy.

We are a non-smoking house, for your comfort and safety. We can cater for children
of five years of age or over (family room) alas, not under five. Pets are not allowed. We take pride in the cleanliness of the house and our good home cooking which you can find out more about in our menu. (Just click on the menu button above.)

Whether you're visiting Norwich on business or touring the city and it's surrounding countryside, you'll find some interesting and exciting attractions. In our entrance lobby you can browse through information leaflets. There are bus and train timetables and maps to find out more about the area. Directly outside the house on the right is a bus stop (No's 21 & 22) which take you into the city center in only 10 minutes. An excursion by train to London takes less than 2 hours, so a day trip to the capital is always easy. There are also river trips which start adjacent to the train station during summer and many special bus excursions available from the city too.

A little about your hosts

John and Kate moved to Norwich from London in early 2000 after deciding a change in the direction of their lives was needed. After moving in and after some serious thought, they decided to convert Driftwood Lodge into a guest house. It was opened for business in June of the same year and was subsequently rated with a prestigeous '4 Diamonds' award by the East of England Tourist Board.

They own an MG Midget sports car which John rebuilt over a 5 year period and enjoy going for countryside drives when not working. John's actually a bit of a Ferrari fanatic as you'll no doubt see by his model collection and is even learning Italian at present. Kate is into other things including line dancing, cooking and gardening and she also played the drums for many years! There's no drum kit now though, so guests are assured of a restful stay.
