"Overall if you want peace and quiet and a great base to explore the Broads this is perfect". - Stephen Brinkworth

Embark on a romantic retreat to this beautiful location and enjoy far-reaching views from this perfectly positioned studio apartment. For those who wish to leave the car at home whilst on holiday, this is a fantastic option with lovely walking and cycling trails from the village of Limpenhoe offering a lovely gateway for exploring the Broads.

As you step into the open-plan living space you’ll find the king-size bed below the beamed ceiling, which can be made up as a twin on request when booking. Two armchairs provide a comfortable place to sit and read a book, whilst the breakfast bar in the kitchen is ideal for your morning coffee and a bite to eat. The kitchen itself is cleverly compact, ensuring you’ll have everything you need to prepare a meal on your break, including a mini oven and a hob. A door just a few steps away from the bed opens up into the charming shower room. There is also a pretty courtyard garden outside with seating and a shared BBQ where you can sit and make the most of the scenery on warm days.

Spend a day in Reedham (2 miles) admiring the tranquil riverbank village and see the chain ferry on the River Yare. Alternatively, for a day on the coast, head to Great Yarmouth for the full seaside experience of playing at the arcades, building sandcastles and watching the world go by. Avid walkers should relish the opportunity to join the Norfolk Coast Path and walk to Caiston-on-Sea, a route stretching 6 miles with plenty of opportunities for refreshments along the way.

  • 1 bedroom – with zip-and-link twin beds (which can be made into a super-king-size on request)
  • 1 shower room with shower, WC and heated towel rail

Studio was very clean and well-equipped for self-catering. The beds were very comfortable (on the firm side, which we like). The property is surrounded by fields and the environment was so peaceful--perfect for R&R. While off the beaten path, the location is really just a short drive to main roads in all directions. We really enjoyed feeding applesRead more and carrots to Spice and Elderflower, two cheeky donkeys living in a paddock on the property. Had a couple of lovely meals at The Cock in Cantley (5 mins away). Also enjoyed fishing at Taswood Fisheries about 20 mins away--6+ lakes, all very well maintained and all facilities you might need. On Pat's recommendation we booked the Southern Comfort riverboat tour of the Broads from Horning which was well worth it and very informative. If you just want to stay put, hikes and bike rides are right outside the door. Highly recommend the property and the owners. Hide

The cottage was perfect, arriving to a home made scone with jam was a delight. The bed was so comfy and I had everything that I needed there. The owners are so lovely and friendly and so helpful too. Would definitely recommend anyone to stay there, plus central to so many beautiful places.... A true retreat

Bijou but perfectly equipped. Good base for exploring the broads. WiFi was intermittent but that's due to location.
