Overview of Fairway Lakes Lodges

Fairway Lakes Lodges is a collection of Scandinavian style holiday lodges within the 400 acre Caldecott Hall estate at Fritton, close to the Norfolk and Suffolk border. The development sits among landscaped lakes and the fairways of Caldecott Hall Golf Club, giving the lodges open countryside, water and golf course views. Find out full range of parks for caravan and lodge holidays in Norfolk here.

Current holiday accommodation ranges from two bedroom lodges sleeping four to larger three and four bedroom properties sleeping six or eight. Private outdoor hot tubs are a major feature of the lodge collection, while selected accommodation also has its own private sauna.

The lodges are particularly well suited to golf breaks. Caldecott Hall has an 18 hole par 73 main course, a 9 hole par 3 course, practice green and nets, Pro Shop and PGA professional. Fairway Lakes guests currently receive a discount on golf, making it practical to include several rounds during a longer stay.

Additional leisure facilities are available within the wider Caldecott Hall estate for an extra charge. These include an indoor heated swimming pool and fitness facilities, with spa facilities also available. Access and opening times should be checked during the stay because the leisure facilities operate separately from the lodge accommodation.

Barn1 Bar & Restaurant occupies a converted Grade II listed barn and provides breakfast, lunch, evening meals and drinks within the estate. Its courtyard provides additional outdoor seating during suitable weather.

Fairway Lakes is also particularly well placed for exploring both Norfolk and Suffolk. Gorleston and Great Yarmouth provide sandy beaches and traditional seaside attractions, while Oulton Broad and the River Waveney give easy access to the southern Norfolk Broads.

Do Fairway Lakes Lodges have private saunas?

Selected lodges have their own private sauna. Some have the sauna incorporated into the lodge while larger accommodation can have a separate sauna and shower area beside the hot tub.

Does Fairway Lakes have a swimming pool?

An indoor heated swimming pool is available within the wider Caldecott Hall estate. It is operated separately from the lodge accommodation and additional charges apply. Access times can vary, particularly for children, so guests should check current arrangements during their stay.

Accommodation at Fairway Lakes Lodges

Fairway Lakes specialises in substantial Scandinavian style timber lodges, with current accommodation ranging from two bedroom properties for four guests to four bedroom lodges sleeping eight.

The accommodation is considerably more spacious than a standard holiday caravan, with many lodges arranged over two floors.

Large open plan kitchens, dining spaces and lounges make the lodges particularly suitable for families and groups who plan to spend plenty of time together during the holiday.

Two Bedroom Lodges

Two bedroom lodges generally sleep four.

Typical layouts combine one double bedroom with one twin, with the bedrooms spread across the ground and upper floors depending on the lodge.

Many have two bathrooms, including an en suite shower room alongside a larger family bathroom.

Open plan kitchens and dining spaces lead onto large private decks, with further balconies available on selected two storey accommodation.

Private hot tubs are a standard feature across the current principal two bedroom holiday range.

Three Bedroom Lodges

Three bedroom lodges typically sleep six.

Layouts can include a main double bedroom with an en suite shower, an additional double bedroom and a twin.

Larger family bathrooms provide additional washing facilities, which is particularly useful when six guests are sharing the accommodation.

Several three bedroom lodges include a private sauna as well as an outdoor hot tub.

Some use distinctive two storey layouts with bedrooms on both floors, upper living spaces and balconies looking across the lakes or golf course.

Four Bedroom Lodges

The largest current accommodation sleeps up to eight guests across four bedrooms.

These lodges are particularly suited to larger families and groups, with considerably more shared living space than the smaller accommodation.

Current layouts can include several double bedrooms, multiple bathrooms, large kitchens, utility facilities and substantial upstairs living areas.

Private hot tubs sit on lower decking while selected four bedroom accommodation also has a separate wet room containing a large sauna and shower.

Upper balconies and full width doors make the most of the countryside and lake views.

Private Hot Tubs

Hot tubs are one of the defining features of Fairway Lakes.

They sit directly beside the individual lodge rather than being shared facilities, giving guests their own outdoor space throughout the break.

Many are positioned to look towards the countryside, landscaped lakes or golf course.

Because the park is open year round, hot tubs also give the accommodation strong appeal for autumn, winter and spring breaks.

Private Saunas

Selected lodges have their own sauna.

In some accommodation the sauna is incorporated inside the lodge, while larger properties can have a separate sauna and shower area beside the decking.

This gives Fairway Lakes a particularly strong combination for visitors specifically searching for hot tub and sauna lodge holidays.

Kitchens and Living Areas

The current lodge collection is set up for proper self catering.

Typical equipment includes:

• oven and hob
• microwave
• fridge freezer
• dishwasher
• washing machine or washer dryer with selected accommodation
• crockery and utensils

Larger accommodation can include American style fridge freezers and separate utility areas.

Living rooms have televisions and comfortable seating, while several lodges also include wood effect fires or wood burners.

Outdoor Space

Private decking is included across the holiday lodge range.

Selected accommodation has outdoor furniture, lower terraces and upper balconies, with views differing between golf course, countryside and lake positions.

Parking is provided beside or close to the lodge.

Park Facilities at Fairway Lakes Lodges

Fairway Lakes is quite different from a conventional holiday park.

The lodges themselves sit within Fairway Lakes Village, while the main leisure, golf and dining facilities belong to the surrounding Caldecott Hall estate.

Golf is the standout activity and deserves considerably more attention than it receives on the existing page.

18 Hole Golf Course

Caldecott Hall has an 18 hole par 73 main course.

The course stretches through the 400 acre estate and is open to visitors as well as members.

Fairway Lakes guests currently receive a 25% discount on a round, making golf particularly practical for visitors who want to play several times during their holiday.

Current visitor green fees vary between weekdays and weekends and golf should be booked directly with Caldecott Hall.

Golf buggies can also be hired.

Because the accommodation sits around the golf estate, guests can move between their lodge and the course without treating golf as a separate day trip.

9 Hole Par 3 Course

A separate 9 hole par 3 course provides a shorter and less demanding option.

It works well for newer golfers, families introducing older children to the sport and experienced players who want a quick round or short game practice.

Unlike a small pitch and putt attraction at a general holiday park, it forms part of an established golf club with professional facilities immediately alongside.

Practice Facilities

Golfers can also use practice greens and practice nets.

This makes it possible to warm up before a round or spend a shorter session working on technique without committing to the full 18 holes.

Golf Pro Shop and PGA Professional

The Pro Shop stocks new and second hand golf clubs, equipment and clothing from recognised golf manufacturers.

A PGA professional is based at the club, providing another level of support for guests who want coaching or advice during their stay.

Golfers therefore have the facilities expected from a proper golf club rather than simply a course attached to holiday accommodation.

Indoor Swimming Pool

The wider Caldecott Hall estate has a heated indoor swimming pool.

Fairway Lakes guests can use the leisure facilities for an additional charge and access is subject to current opening arrangements.

Children's swimming times can be restricted to particular sessions, so families should check the latest timetable before planning their day around the pool.

The pool is particularly useful during wet weather and for holidays outside the summer months.

Fitness and Spa Facilities

Fitness facilities are available within the Caldecott Hall leisure complex.

Additional spa facilities include relaxation facilities around the pool complex, with availability and charges separate from the Fairway Lakes accommodation booking.

This gives guests another option after golf or days out around Norfolk and Suffolk.

Barn1 Bar & Restaurant

Barn1 is the main food and drink venue at Caldecott Hall.

The restaurant occupies a converted 18th century Grade II listed barn and serves breakfast, lunch and dinner.

The menu includes steak and fish dishes alongside vegetarian and vegan choices.

Guests can also visit simply for coffee, cake or drinks rather than a full meal.

A refurbished courtyard provides al fresco seating during warmer weather.

Having a full restaurant within the same estate is particularly useful because Fairway Lakes is primarily self catering and does not have a separate lodge park restaurant.

Three Landscaped Lakes

Three lakes form part of the Fairway Lakes setting.

The lakes contain carp and attract ducks and other water birds, while deer and other wildlife are also seen around the surrounding grounds.

The water is an important part of the appearance and atmosphere of the lodge development, with several properties positioned to overlook it.

Redwings Horse Sanctuary

Redwings Horse Sanctuary is immediately beside the Caldecott Hall estate.

Entry is free and visitors can meet rescued horses, ponies, donkeys and mules.

A small children's play area is also available there.

For families staying at Fairway Lakes, this provides a particularly easy local outing without travelling into Great Yarmouth.

Walking Around the Estate

The 400 acre estate provides plenty of open countryside around the lodges.

Guests can walk between the lodge development, golf facilities and surrounding wooded areas, with views towards Waveney Forest and the wider countryside.

The location on the edge of the Norfolk Broads also provides easy access to further walking around rivers, marshes and villages.

Places to Visit Near Fairway Lakes Lodges

Redwings Horse Sanctuary is immediately beside the estate and is the easiest family attraction to reach. Visitors can meet rescued horses and ponies and use the small children's play area.

Burgh Castle is only a short drive away and contains the remains of a Roman shore fort overlooking the marshes of the River Waveney.

Oulton Broad provides one of the closest introductions to the Broads. The waterside park, cafés and boat trips make it an easy place to spend several hours around the water.

Gorleston on Sea has one of the area's best sandy beaches, with a wide promenade and plenty of space compared with the busier central Great Yarmouth seafront.

Lowestoft provides another coastal option, while Carlton Marshes Nature Reserve offers walking and wildlife around wetlands, reedbeds and grazing marsh.

Somerleyton Hall combines formal gardens, historic architecture and parkland close to the River Waveney.

Great Yarmouth provides the largest traditional seaside day out, with its sandy beach, Golden Mile, Britannia Pier, Pleasure Beach and SEA LIFE centre.

Norwich is suitable for a longer day out, combining Norwich Cathedral and the castle with shopping, independent restaurants and historic streets.
