  • Doris

    The interior is very nice with everything you could need for your stay, an ideal let near to Norwich and the Broads, leaflets left by the owner was a great help when planning our days out. We were sorry when our week ended, and hope we can return in the future, to this lovely area of Norfolk.

  • Carol

    Peaceful Location and perfect for exploring the riverways and close enough to Norwich City for shopping !

  • James

    The property itself is very well maintained and furnished with everything you need, friendly owners and a very welcome cake on arrival. Norwich is 30 away, and the broads very close by, worth a trip to Wroxham for a boat trip around the broads, the coast is 45 mins drive. Local pub is nice, great Sunday lunches.
