The cottage homeowner, subject to his availability is always happy to take paying guests staying at the families holiday home for a days skippered sailing and posh picnic plus a sensible amount of wine or beer or both!! Max Carding keeps his classic Broads sailing yacht 'Jessica' moored at South Walsham (about 20 minutes drive from the cottage) and can accommodate up to four people.

Sailing aboard Max's beautifully restored yacht, even if you are not a sailor is the perfect way to enjoy and explore the enchanting beauty of The Broads. You will also see many examples of Norfolk's bird life and perhaps even the occasional Otter. If you sail why not take the helm (if you are brave enough) and experience the challenges and foibles of river sailing!? 

Shotesham is a delightful sought-after village in South Norfolk, offering both peace and tranquility whilst being just a few minutes away from the cultural centre of Norfolk, Norwich which offers a vast variety of local eateries, a great selection of shops as well as a number of historical points of interest. A superb spot for losing yourself in the natural beauty of the Norfolk countryside with a number of wonderful footpath walks through glorious woodland and open fields as well as enjoying a drink in the local traditional pub along the way. It is an ideal location for taking advantage of activities and days out close by, enjoy a day on the Norfolk Broads with boat hire available less than a half hour drive away.

Reviews

Lovely cottage with lots of character. The kids loved Bewilderwood and seeing the seals at Blakeney. We went to an animal park and did a 3D maze (Thrigby Hall Wildlife Gardens). Mark, Jess, Isabel & Benjamin.

Mr Mark G,

The Old Post Office is in an idyllic location. Just 20mins from Norwich, yet a quiet country village feel. Quirky, oldy worldy, but all in a good way. The garden is a delight, being very secluded and beautiful. Beds were comfy and very clean. Downsides ? The freezer in the garage, and we were harassed by flies, but these are very small things. Very lovely place for a peaceful break.

Mr K,

Cottage exceeded expectations. Good size, lovely garden, pretty location. Loved some of the artwork - much better than normally found in holiday cottages. Also appreciated the thought and generosity given to equipment and supplies. Warm atmosphere - felt very welcome. Thank you!

Ms Sarah K,

Half Term in Norfolk - Enjoyed boating on the broads, bike rides on Marriotts Way and Bewilderwood! Thanks for a great time. Saw a few dosy wasps in the house, may be a nest somewhere coming onto 1st floor landing.

Mrs Katrina T,

We booked three nights here at the last minute. After 17 weeks in lockdown, seeing nothing more than the local duck pond, we decided a break would do us all good. We really pitched the right place! The cottage is so homely and comfortable. Our three young boys have loved it as much as we have, especially the little room - they've dubbed 'The Snug'. The cottage is wonderfully well equipped. We really appreciated the bag of Norfolk gifts - thank you. The cottage was also immaculately clean. We are already looking at returning. Thank you for brightening up 2020!

Mr Tarriq K,

We've had a wonderful holiday, the cottage is beautiful and ideally located for exploring Norfolk. Thanks for the gifts - all very delicious. We look forward to booking some time in the Dorset Cottage for our next trip. Many Thanks

Mr Kevin W,

Lovely house and was amazed by the beautiful old staircase. Surrounding area also very lovely and peaceful. Highlight of the trip was seeing the seals at Horsey Beach! Thank you for the Norfolk gifts!

Mr Richard C,

Stayed for a week - enjoyed some September sunshine! Pleasant accommodation, late sun in the garden! Would have been benefited from some non-allergenic bedding. Visited Norwich, Horsey bay with the seals and Great Yarmouth. Enjoyed our first stay in Norfolk. Great gifts, thank you.

Mrs Adele M,
