Inside Woodlakes: A Guide to Our Secret Garden Park

Every lodge at Woodlakes comes with its own private Secret Garden, a hidden, enclosed retreat that is entirely yours. Here is a proper look at the park that surrounds it.

Our Park

Home to your own
Secret Garden.

Tucked away in the heart of rural Norfolk, Woodlakes Park spans 66 acres of unspoilt woodland, with five tranquil lakes mirroring the vast Norfolk skies. At the centre of it all is your Secret Garden: a private, enclosed space attached to your lodge, where the silence is the kind you forget exists until you find it again.

Wander the woodland trails at dawn, watch the sun melt into the water at dusk, or spend a quiet morning casting a line by the lake, then retreat behind your own garden screening whenever you're ready for total privacy. Our resident alpacas graze freely across the grounds, adding a rare charm that makes Woodlakes unlike anywhere else.

This is a place designed to slow you down, to help you breathe, and to remind you what peace actually feels like, and your Secret Garden is where that feeling lives long after the walk is over.
