With views that will captivate you for hours on end, this charming cottage sleeps four in two bedrooms and welcomes a canine companion. Just meters from a pub, shop, tearoom and cafe, it’s a wonderful base both for exploring the waters of the Broads and heading out for sandy adventures in seaside towns.

The renovated property dates back to the 1800s and blends period features with modern comforts. Several steps lead up to the front door. In the comfortable lounge, you have a selection of seating in which to relax, plus a Smart TV for streaming a movie or favourite show. Step up and through to the dining area and you’ll find space for four people to enjoy hearty breakfasts or delicious dinners together. Two further steps up take you into the pretty kitchen, which is kitted out with everything necessary for your culinary endeavours. Completing the ground floor is the family bathroom. The bedrooms, both with ample storage, are on the first floor: a bright king-size with gorgeous views and a sweet twin room. Take advantage of the watery vistas from your enclosed front garden, equipped with a table and chairs for dining alfresco. Or, if you prefer, sit in the private back garden and pour a drink or serve up a meal in the fresh air.

The old maritime village of Reedham has a spectacular river frontage and is home to one of the country’s last remaining railway swing bridges. Stroll the riverside and admire the views, stopping for afternoon tea or a refreshing drink. Take the little ones to Pettitts Animal Adventure Park, 1 mile away. And of course, you’ll want to hire a boat and head out onto the Norfolk Broads to float among its 125 miles of lock-free waterways.
