Self Catering 5 Bedroom Waterside Retreat Cottage Wroxham, Norfolk Broads, Eng

The Norfolk Broads has so much to offer and our self-catering cottages are an ideal base to explore the Norfolk Broads, Norfolk and Suffolk. Holidaying with family or friends, we have places that are next door to each other to allow bigger groups to holiday together. A fantastic location on the water front and based in Wroxham / Hoveton, the heart of the Norfolk Broads. The Broads has so much to offer– rent a motor launch for a day, sailing, rowing using a dinghy we supply, fishing, great wildlife, many nature reserves for observing the unique wetland wildlife and exploring the many special places to see in East Anglia. Within walking distance you have great shops, a choice of pubs and restaurants. Travel a bit further and you have Castles, theme parks, Great Yarmouth with its many attractions. Waterside Retreat is a detached holiday home in a superb position, just off the main River Bure, in the heart of Wroxham, Broadlands' liveliest village. With 5 bedrooms, 3 bathroom, luxurious kitchen with eating area it will very comfortably sleeps up to 11 people. This is an ideal holiday retreat in the Norfolk Broads and an excellent location for sailing, fishing and bird watching. Modern and furnished to a high standard of comfort, this charming holiday home is a perfect retreat at any time of the year and guests benefit from the use of a rowing dinghy. Now with WiFi Broadband Internet access. Wroxham and Hoveton are divided by the River Bure, with the two villages generally referred to as Wroxham. It is one of the Norfolk Broads largest boat hire centres where you can enjoy river trips, hire a boat, enjoy some fishing, sailing, golf, cycling or walking with nature trails to follow. Sandy beaches can be found just twelve miles away and the City of Norwich with its beautiful cathedral, castle, museum, theatre and superb shopping is just eight miles. The village of Wroxham is home to Wroxham Barns, the Bure Valley Railway and Roys - the largest village store in the country. Here you will find riverside pubs, restaurants and shops that are just a short stroll from Waterside Retreat. The area of Wroxham is actually made up of two villages - Wroxham and Hoveton, split by a low bridge that spans the River Bure. Wroxham is often referred to as the 'Capital of the Norfolk Broads' and is an ideal location to stay at for a variety of reasons: There are plentiful places to eat and drink locally! Wroxham boasts Roys store which claims to the “largest village store in the Country”. Here you will find all your grocery needs with many products being sourced locally as well as a large department store – plenty of retail opportunities to indulge in and only a 5 minute walk. Within a 15 minute drive you could be at one of the glorious sandy Norfolk beaches or if city life is more your thing, then you could be in historic Norwich with a wealth of shopping opportunities and tourist attractions. The Broads is well known for its’ fishing activity – you should expect to find perch, pike, bream, rudd, eel and tench in the waters here. Fishing (subject to season and licence) can be enjoyed from the decking at all our properties. We would obviously be remiss if we didn’t mention the joy of just being out on the water. Within a couple of minutes walk from each property, it is easy to hire a boat by the hour, half day, day or longer. If you fancy a boat trip but without you being the Captain, there are a number of organised boat trips which leave from the centre of Wroxham or from nearby Horning.

Pet fee £25 per pet payable to owner (Maximum 2)

We all really enjoyed our stay at this property. The living/dining room & outside space was lovely. The kitchen was well equipped but not as well organised as it could be making finding some utensils difficult. Also the crockery & cutlery was not as clean as I would have liked, however this didn’t spoil our stay. Overall I would recommend this property & would definitely stay here again.

Relaxing River Location.
Ideally situated riverside setting only a few minutes walk from boatyards, shops and a good variety of eateries. The grandchildren loved Bewilderwood which is only 2 miles away. An ideal setting for a lovely relaxing break.

Houses don't come much bigger!
We were a family party of 10. The property is in an excellent location right in the heart of the Norfolk Broads. From our arrival everything was made easy with the security lock check in. First impressions, the house is huge! So much space for everyone to chill. The family loved it. The kitchen is massive and, well equipped with everything you need. The outside decking gave us plenty of space to dine and enjoy the sunny evenings. We made use of the BBQ as we celebrated the Queen's Jubilee. We hired a day boat a few times from Richardsons. With the moring right outside, it made it so easy to drop everyone off. We had a fabulous holiday. Made so much better with excellent living facilities. The customer service from Paul was fantastic. My granddaughter left her mobile phone behind. Paul had it posted back to her the very next day One very happy girl ! I would highly recommend booking the Waterside Retreat. Absolutely everything you need all in one place!

Great house in a lovely location on the water. Very clean. Walking distance into town. We hired a day boat locally. The men enjoyed the fishing off the decking, even managing to catch the resident pike. Look forward to returning in the future.
