Dog Friendly Norfolk Lodges on a 30lb Carp Lake
Three dog friendly lodges overlooking Station Lake, a two acre lake at Lenwade beside Marriott's Way. The lake holds carp over 30lb with tench, roach, perch and pike, night fishing is allowed, and fishing for guests is arranged for a small fee.
Three lodges on a small, deep lake with thirty pound carp. Norfolk Lodge Holidays keeps it small: three dog friendly lodges looking over a two acre lake that holds carp over 30lb and allows night fishing. Fishing is arranged through the owners for a small fee. Deep water and steep banks mean no children under five, which makes it a better fit for couples and anglers than young families.
Good for
- Carp anglers wanting a small, quiet lake
- Couples bringing a dog
- Walkers and cyclists on Marriott's Way
Think twice if
- You have children under five: they are not accepted
- You expect a private peg: the site describes several swims around the lake, not pegs per lodge
Arrange your fishing before you arrive
Fishing is arranged through John Woodhouse on 07760 234105 for a small fee. Bring a 42 inch net and a large unhooking mat.

Norfolk Lodge Holidays is at Station Lake on Porters Lane, Lenwade, in the Wensum Valley, about 20 minutes from Norwich, with direct access to the Marriott's Way walking and cycling route. Kingfishers, woodpeckers and treecreepers are listed among the wildlife.
