West Lexham Wellness & Retreat Centre

At a glance

Travellers give the location of this lodge-style retreat 9.4, its highest score, even though it sits well outside Norwich in the Norfolk countryside of the King's Lynn area rather than in the city centre or old town. West Lexham Wellness & Retreat Centre has Castle Acre Castle, Houghton Hall and the Sandringham estate in the surrounding area, all reached by car, and canoeing is among the activities on offer. It suits a rural break built around rest, swimming and outings to historic houses rather than a city stay.

The property lists 15 accommodation types, mostly compact: the Double Room, Studio and King Room measure 6 m², several other doubles 8 m², and the Superior Studio 12 m², each for 2 people. Family rooms are also available, and some units have a kitchenette. Shared facilities include an indoor swimming pool, a garden, a terrace and an outdoor fireplace, plus a restaurant serving British dishes with vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free choices. Breakfast is offered, parking is on site, pets are accepted and the centre is wheelchair accessible. Overall it scores 8.7/10 from 338 reviews, with staff rated 9.2. Check-in starts at 16:00.
