Access to London and the City

Jolly Farmers and our self-catering holiday let, Gates Lodge..

How to enjoy London and the City without the hastle ! - It's Closer than you think !

The ideal base for anyone who wants to enjoy the spectacular sights of London - Buckingham Palace, the Houses of Parliament, London Eye, Tower of London...

Why stay in the City? or the urban sprawl around it?; with the inevitable noise of all-day sirens and late night activities, the inflated prices, and the constant worry about security?

The answer is very simple! - for a fraction of the price of a hotel or "just-about-adequate" B&B in the Capital, you could be away on the main line from Liverpool Street to Diss station on the Norfolk/Suffolk border in 89 minutes !! - check out the prices for our 4-star "Gates Lodge"

You can still enjoy the sights and sounds of the City , hop on a bus tour; treat yourself to a mega-shop; go for a fantastic lunch or evening meal, all in a day, and look forward to a relaxing inter-City train journey home to Diss,our local station.

A short 20 minute taxi drive from Diss takes you to our idyllic rural escape, nestled away in the heart of endless farmland - tucked safely away from the City. We are close enough for village shop, some renowned country pubs and fine dining - including of course the local Fox & Goose, associated in the Michelin Guide - a favourite with many far and wide.

We would be pleased to assist with any enquiries - please ask via our e-mail contact or via telephone.
