"The cottage was in a good location. Walking distance from Salhouse 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" - Ian Boorman

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.

Stayed for a week and the cottage is well presented. In a lovely area, prime spot for supermarkets in vicinity in sprowton and Wroxham and the broads 6 mins away. Norwich in the other direction about 15 mins.. The property is set up well and a good size for a 2 bed spacious bedrooms with plenty of storage and good facilities when you find them ie,Read more hairdryer, alarm clock but everything thought out for what you need.. downstairs lounge again well presented with plenty of furniture and facilities everything you need. armchair and sofa,s are practical but not very comfy, kitchen is provided with everything you need for cooking but sensitive fire alarms..cupboards are a bit worn ..overall this property has been thought out with everything you need for sunny and rainy days. very informative with information for the cottage aswell as out and about and where to eat...
