  • Fabulous two-bedroomed Broads abode with 5-acre grounds, fishing access and private moorings

Property code: OC-U32571

Treat yourself, family, friends – and your loyal canine companion – to an unforgettable break at this characterful two-bedroom cottage on the northern edge of the Norfolk Broads. After a day exploring Norfolk’s waterways and countryside, return to this much-loved cottage that boasts its own mooring and 5 acres of shared grounds for inquisitive hounds to investigate.

Inside, the kitchen brims with country charm and is well-equipped for easy self-catering – just the spot to rustle up hearty dinners after long riverside walks. The lounge/diner is the heart of the home, where you can put your feet up while your pup curls up by the wood burner. Big windows frame peaceful views over the extensive grounds. The dining table seats six comfortably, while a handy sofa bed adds extra flexibility for the family. The ground-floor bathroom boasts Art Deco styling, adding a special touch. Upstairs, you’ll find two calming bedrooms to retire to at the end of the day: a king-size room for adults to sprawl in comfort, and a twin for children or friends. Outdoors is where this property truly shines for dog-loving guests. The vast, open gardens mean plenty of room for your four-pawed pal to explore supervised. Fire up the BBQ, relax in the sun with a book or wander down to the private waterside mooring to watch the boats go by. With private driveway parking, you can come and go by road or river.

You’ll find tail-wagging countryside walks right from the doorstep. Hire a day boat and discover the Broads’ magical network of waterways at your own pace. The Museum of the Broads (500 metres) offers a fascinating peek into local history, while a short drive takes you to dog-friendly beaches like Waxham and Sea Palling (5 miles), where your furry-tailed wanderer can run on the sand and splash in the shallows.

A lovely location with a homely cottage and large grounds, which also provide access to boat owners who moor alongside the property. The kitchen was well equipped but the plumbing was a downside.

The cottage is well equipped and cosy. The outlook over the Broads is fantastic with direct access just outside.

Other than the plumbing the cottage is lovely and although a bit overfilled with furniture is surrounded by a beautiful garden. The mooring in front of the house is lovely and we were visited by a family of swans. The Museum of the Broads has a lovely boat trip and is just round the corner. The Swan pub serves good food and is within a shortish walRead morek. Hide
