It's extremely comfortable and well equipped. The garden is spacious and totally enclosed which meant our Westie could potter around without us constantly watching him! It's location is perfect for exploring the area with boat and steam train trips within a mile or so. We would definitely recommend and have no hesitation in booking another visit. 10/10

Already looking into booking it for another Christmas. All the facilities were first class , log burner was magical. Garden was beautiful and a five minute walk to Wroxham. Lovely Christmas decorations scattered throughout the house. Plenty of games to play and a shed full of logs for the burner . We had a fantastic Christmas and the house, itâs surrounding countryside with a short walk and a drink overlooking the Broads in the bar at the hotel Wroxham was perfect
