Waters Edge, Pentney

Waters Edge is a 4-star luxury lodge in Pentney, Norfolk, perched right on the lakeside. This massive 2000 sq ft property sits on almost an acre of land with private decking, garden and stunning lake views. Perfect for big groups - it sleeps 12 across 5 bedrooms with plenty of space to avoid getting under each others feet after a few days together.

The surrounding Pentney Lakes area offers loads for active types. Try water skiing, wakeboarding, or fishing directly from the property. Miles of footpaths wind through the countryside and you're just 18 miles from Norfolk's gorgeous beaches. After a day exploring, sink into your private hot tub with a favourite drink - just don't drop your phone in while taking selfies.

Accommodation includes two double bedrooms, one king-size room with an extra single bed and en-suite shower, a twin room and a triple room with three beds. Four bathrooms mean minimal queuing for showers. The massive 30ft open-plan living space has dining area, comfy sofas and a large smart TV for movie nights.

Visit Sandringham Estate (14 miles, 25 mins), Castle Rising (10 miles, 20 mins), Norfolk Lavender (15 miles, 25 mins), or King's Lynn historic waterfront (8 miles, 15 mins). All offer great days out within easy reach.

Waters Edge works brilliantly for family gatherings, milestone birthdays, or friend reunions. The private indoor sauna is a proper treat and with parking for 6 cars, everyone can arrive separately and still speak to each other by the end of the holiday.
