Hello, I’m Anna,

I’d love to welcome you to Norfolk! I have spent many years living in this beautiful county having been born in the neighbouring county of Suffolk. 

My home at Lodge Farm in Hilgay, Norfolk, is where I have built a life with my three amazing children, Dom, Nat, and Claudia, along with our small flock of pet sheep, our pony Twilight and loveable spaniels, Bronte and Harper.

Over the years, I transitioned from managing busy restaurants to becoming Cabin Crew with British Airways whilst discovering my passion for photography, specialising in children's portraits and family events.

In 2010, I renovated and opened the historic coach house on our farm, dating back to 1800, it offers a unique and one-of-a-kind retreat.  Multi-generational families, milestone birthdays, special occasions, friends getting together, girl's weekends and corporate team events all find a warm welcome at Lodge Farm! Guests also enjoy additional services like catering, pampering, yoga, outdoor movie nights and the ever-popular hot tub enhancing their stay. 

The positive feedback and memories created by my guests have been incredibly rewarding.


My love for the Norfolk coastline led me to fulfil a dream by establishing Puddleduck Cottage. This charming stone cottage in Stanhoe provides a very peaceful coastal escape, tucked away on a pretty lane but near the stunning beaches of Brancaster, Holme, Holkham, Wells and Hunstanton. Both properties focus on attention to detail and comfort, with good beds and showers, hotel standard linens, fluffy towels and bathrobes along with special touches to ensure a relaxing and memorable stay. 

I hope you’ll love the Coach House and Puddleduck Cottage as much as I do! I look forward to welcoming you soon.

Anna x
