Watatunga is a stunning new wildlife reserve in west Norfolk. Situated amongst 170 acres of woodland, grassland and lakes, Watatunga provides a unique environment for over twenty types of ungulate and rare bird species to roam at their will. Access to the reserve is via guided tour only and must be pre-booked online via our website. We also offer luxurious self-catering accommodation.

We stayed at Majors Lodge for a week in September to celebrate our ruby wedding anniversary. It was a last minute booking to replace our original villa in France which was cancelled and how pleased we were to have found such a gem. Right from the start Anna couldn’t have been more helpful in organising the accommodation to our requirements and understanding the needs of our nine month old grand daughter. The Lodge is situated right on the edge of the Watatunga Wildlife Reserve overlooking grassland and affording great views of the endangered ungulates from the deck, garden and sun room. Accommodation is very comfortable and spacious. The bedrooms are large, beds comfortable and bed linen luxurious. There is a large lounge with open fire if you want it, large dining room, well appointed kitchen and a great sunroom where we tended to eat all the time because of the views. Three bathrooms meant there was never a queue! The decking has gates that can be secured to stop little ones roaming too far but the garden is enclosed anyway. There is a large gas barbecue. So now to the reserve itself. 170 acres of varied habitat from grassland that transports you to Africa, old woodland reminiscent of the New Forest and two lakes with some other wet areas. The wildlife is free to roam over the whole reserve. We were privileged to have a guided tour by Ed, who is clearly so passionate about protecting endangered species and educating others about the issues involved, after which we had exclusive use of one of the buggies for the whole of our stay so we could explore the reserve at out leisure. It is a wonderful place to spend some time. Very peaceful. Besides the varied species of deer and sheep we saw several varieties of pheasant, had close encounters with water buffalo, saw a barn owl quartering across one of the fields and were extremely privileged to see Great Bustards. Besides use of the buggy we had exclusive access to a hide overlooking one of the lakes with several species of duck. Buzzards, a kestrel and a sparrow hawk were all seen near the lodge. One of the many highlights was helping Hope bottle-feed some of the young animals one morning. This was enjoyed by everyone regardless of age! You can visit Watatunga and do a guided tour but I highly recommend that you take longer and stay here as we did. I am sure you will not be disappointed.

Brought to life by the audio guide. It is well worth reading the information boards at the start and going carefully round with the guide. Visit the castle, too for a fuller picture of life in the past.

Often visit here in winter. It's the place to watch hen harriers. Great that there is a new car park as the old one was very pot holed. Nice walks, good birding.

We loved it here! A really interesting house & gardens with some lovely short woodlands walk. The cafe was also good - We had a really nice baked potato & later had a coffee & cake. We also spent some time just sitting in the deckchairs provided to just enjoy the view of the fabulous house. This is definitely one of my fave NT properties & highly recommend a visit.

Very interesting place to learn about local history of the Kings Lynn and West Norfolk area. I often work in Lynn as a coach driver and have hours to kill during the day. Lynn museum has free entry and was a great way to spend an hour or so,

Reviewed By Bunhunter
We spent a couple of hours wandering around the displays in the excellent small museum that gives a flavour of not only of the town of Lynn but also the busy thriving fishing and trading port in the days of the past. Do ask directions to the North End as it's well worth a visit and we recommend this hidden gem.
