Ever wondered what a holiday at the Kilnwick Percy Resort in Yorkshire, would be like? Well, we asked Instagram sensation Cockapoo Marley to help show you what it’s like to be on holiday with us at The KP Resort, from the start of your day to the activities you can get up to on park.

Start your day by popping into the Pro Shop to book your tee time and get all your golfing goodies. Then jump into a golf buggie and head out for a round of golf on our championship course (Marley is loving the golf buggie so much!)
After playing a morning of golf, head inside our Reception area to meet our friendly staff and enjoy a meal, with a refreshing drink from The Glasshouse Restaurant
Or maybe you’d like to start your day off in The Box Gym, which offers everything you could need for a full body workout
After all that activity on your holiday, you are fully deserving of a relaxing trip to our Tranquility Spa Lodge and outdoor Nordic Spa facilities (just look how relaxed Marley is!)

Gem Beeston is the fabulous lady behind the Instagram account @athomewithgem, and after recently staying with her friends at Norfolk Woods Resort & Spa we asked Gem some quick fire questions! Gem and her fiance, Dougie, run a property developing business together and document the process, along with her own beautiful home, over on Instagram. They have also recently launched a wonderful candle subscription service called Iggy Box Candles, which sends ethically made and natural candles to your door every month! They are definitely a talented duo!
Darwin Escapes have had a wonderful partnership with Gem over a couple of years, and we wanted to send her to Norfolk Woods Resort & Spa as one of the first people to stay in our beautiful 5 bed Sandringham lodges.
Gem, Dougie and a group of friends stayed with us in these popular lodges, took advantage of the on-park facilities and explored the local area during her weekend stay with us, have a read below about Gem’s thoughts…
Describe your holiday in 5 words:
Amazing, fun, exciting, relaxing, stress-free!
What stood out to you most about your lodge? It was huge, so spacious and comfortable!! There were 8 of us staying in there and it didn’t feel like we were all in there at all… so much room and the lodge is so well equipped. It is also styled beautifully.
What are your hints and tips for the local area? Norwich is absolutely beautiful and definitely worth a drive too. There is lots to see and do there. There is also some great local villages and walks. Plus lots of brilliant pubs and places to eat.
What memory would you put on a postcard home?
Absolutely our spa day! It was so relaxing and our massages were a real treat. The spa is beautiful.
Rate our facilities on a scale of 1 to super-duper-fan-dabby-dosy: Super-super-fan-dabby-dosy. There is honestly so much to do on site, it’s brilliant. There were activities to do every day – archery, zorb balls, you name it, you can do it. The bar and the restaurant are fab. There is also a brilliant swimming pool, spa, sauna and steam room! The lodge itself was really gorgeous, the interior is amazing and the hot tub was a real bonus!
Check out Gem’s Instagram page over at @athomewithgem, you will not be disappointed, she has a beautiful house and lots of knowledge about property developing, as well as Noah the gorgeous Havaneese dog, who will steal your heart with his cheeky, smiley face!
