Managing Director of Darwin Escapes Lindsey Esse said: 'We are investing millions of pounds in the location to create a destination which offers our guests everything they could wish for on a self-catered lodge holiday in Norfolk.

'We know what people are looking for in a great British holiday, which is why all our parks offer the highest standards of accommodation, facilities and service.

'Our homes are designed by some of the UK's leading manufacturers, our beds have the most comfortable mattresses and each lodge is fully equipped with a stylish kitchen. We want our guests to be able to quickly relax and escape from the pressures of daily life.'

The site, off the A47 between King's Lynn and Swaffham, was previously known as Pentney Park and was run as a camping and touring caravan park. Darwin Escapes was granted permission to demolish existing buildings in January.
