Overview
Property code: OC-1250

A fantastic base for exploring the Broads, this cheerful cottage is set in a friendly rural village in the heart of Norfolk. Offering cosy accommodation for five guests, the property also has space for two furry, four-pawed companions to join you to discover the idyllic rivers and lakes in an unforgettable part of the county. Perfect for families, friends and couples, this elegantly furnished getaway has been tastefully decorated in light shades and is ideally situated for visiting historic Norwich, exploring the Norfolk countryside or heading to the coast for a day by the sea.

The open-plan lounge/diner offers a warm welcome and makes a lovely space for everyone to get together and relax. The light-filled lounge is perfect for sitting back and watching a movie in the evening, and the sociable dining space to the rear of the room leads through to a bright, airy kitchen. There’s also an invigorating family bathroom on the ground floor. Upstairs, the first floor offers a choice of two stylish bedrooms, each with skylights in low sloping ceilings: a pretty double and a charming triple room with a double and a single bed. Outside, the small courtyard garden has outdoor furniture and makes a charming space for a morning coffee before setting out with your canine companions to discover this beautiful part of Norfolk.

The lovely Salhouse Broad (1.5 miles) offers wonderful walks and you can hire canoes and kayaks to head out onto the water. From picturesque Wroxham (2.5 miles) you can take boat trips to head along the Bure to explore the Broads. There are plenty of dog-friendly walks in historic Norwich including Eaton Park and The Close surrounding Norwich Cathedral. For a day by the sea, head to the pet-welcoming beaches of Great Yarmouth and Caister-on-Sea, both 16 miles away.

Well laid out with a spacious hallway, and a good amount of storage space in the bedrooms. Easy access to Norwich and the Broads.

Good location; we were visiting with 2 dogs and there are plenty of walks nearby (e.g. Salhouse Broad). Close to the coast and Norwich. The cottage is clean, warm and cosy.

The cottage was in a good location. Walking distance from sailhouse broad and a short drive to the sea and other places on the broads. The cottage was very comfortable and well equipped. Would definitely stay there again

This cottage is in a great location to Salhouse Broad and for exploring Norfolk. It was clean with good equipment, dishwasher, iron and board, hoover, washing machine, etc, plus some games and books and a very useful information folder about the property and local area. Indoors is a cozy space, we found pleasant for a week, but there's very little Read moreoutdoor space and the small yard feels very enclosed and smaller than it appears in pictures, not great for children or dogs but you do have the fabulous surroundings. Overall we had a lovely week. Hide

We felt welcome from the moment we arrived with the thoughtful treats left for us by the owners. This cottage is like a tardis and although looks small from the roadside, was lovely, bright and spacious inside. It was spotlessly clean with very effective dishwasher and washing machine to make self catering as easy as possible. The cottage is superbRead morely equipped and had everything we needed throughout our weeks stay. The location is great, with the conveniences of Norwich and beauty of the Broads close by. Lovely pubs for evening meals in Coltishall. There is a lovely shop and cafe right next door and it was lovely to be able to indulge in beautiful coffees and cakes so easily! We feel this cottage is a real find and cant wait to return. 5 stars from us. Hide

A well proportioned and appointed property. Plenty of space in the living areas downstairs. Main lights allow for good lighting while the lamps allow for a cosier setting in the evenings. The bedrooms have been designed to make best use of the space considering being built into the roof space. The skylights are a welcome addition upstairs allowing Read morefor natural light making this a beautiful space. GCH and a good shower were a welcome plus after a long day exploring and rainy days as was the convenience of the washing machine. It was also a pleasant surprise to find that the house was only a 20 minute stroll from our favourite pub and brewery on the broads The Fur and Feather at Woodfordes Brewery. Exploring the broads and surrounding areas from Salhouse was perfect. Thank you for providing us with lovely stay Hide
