Welcoming and stylish, this cottage has lots of space and character and makes the perfect base for a wonderful holiday with family or friends enjoying the Norfolk Broads, visiting Norwich, exploring the coast, and relaxing in the garden. It has four bedrooms, a ground floor bathroom, a cosy wood burner, and 2 four-legged friends welcome.

Let the pup doze by the wood burner in the living room while you chat about the day, watch TV, or read a good book. Keen chefs will love the Range oven in the wooden-beamed kitchen/diner, with space for everyone to get together at mealtimes and a second wood burner if it turns chilly. Curl up in the cute snug with TV, books, and games for entertainment, there’s also a utility room and the family bathroom on the ground floor. Wake up to birdsong in the elegant king-size bedroom, pretty double room, charming twin, and comfy single bedroom (with a truckle bed for an extra guest) upstairs, for a quick shower there’s the contemporary shower room on this floor. Take your coffee and book to the summerhouse, while the kids and dog play in the fully enclosed garden, with secure storage for your bikes.

This is a homely cottage with good sized rooms. It comfortably hosted 7 adults. The bathrooms were very clean with nice bedding and towels. We wished it was summer as the garden was lovely. But it was secure and enjoyed by the dogs! The location is very peaceful and close to the Broads which we enjoyed for walks and running. Would recommRead moreend this house! Hide

Spacious and well-equipped house, which was very clean and it had a pleasant small garden. Partly semi-detached, but no noise from the neighbours. Nice village.

A lovely cottage in a beautiful location. Perfect for our family holiday on the Broads with our grandchildren. The cottage was very well equipped with everything we could possibly need. A real home from home.
