When the serene waters of Norfolk are calling, stay at this peaceful waterfront cottage right on the River Bure. The dog-friendly home has space for four guests over its two bedrooms, making it a brilliant choice for couples or small families seeking a relaxing break. You’ll be just 1 mile from the pretty village of Horning, where you’ll find friendly pubs, restaurants and handy shops.
This stylish, reverse-level cottage is cleverly designed to make the most of its peaceful waterside setting. The ground floor has two welcoming bedrooms – a super-king-size and a twin – each with its own TV and en-suite shower room for ease and privacy. The heart of the home is upstairs in the bright open-plan living space, which has comfy sofas and a Smart TV. Prepare and share meals in the modern kitchen and dining area, complete with a breakfast bar for perching with a cuppa or a glass of wine. On mild days, swing open the two Juliet balconies and let the fresh Norfolk air breeze through while you cook or unwind. The courtyard is a lovely space for relaxation, with a swing chair, outdoor table and chairs for sunny lunches or evening drinks by the water. Private parking for two cars adds extra convenience.
Ready to get on the water? Hire a paddleboat from Horning, a day boat from Wroxham (4 miles) or a canoe hire at Salhouse Broad (6.5 miles). If you’d rather stay on land, follow one of the scenic walking and cycling routes weaving through the countryside. The treehouse adventures of BeWILDerwood (1.5 miles) are ideal if you’re after family-friendly fun, or head to the vibrant city of Norwich (12.5 miles) with its cobbled streets, cathedral and excellent shops and culture.
