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!
