The Boathouse - Riversedge

Couples and small families will find The Boathouse - Riversedge a practical base for a Broads holiday. The property sits within a working boatyard on the River Bure, giving you water views and the unusual perk of a complimentary motor launch (available outside school holidays). Two bedrooms sleep four: one with a double bed and one with two singles, each opening onto the decked ground floor. Upstairs, the open-plan living space has a full kitchen, dining area and sitting room with a furnished balcony where you can watch the river life below.

The essentials are handled—heating, power, bed linen, towels and wifi are all included. There's parking for one car on site. A pub sits within a mile, and Wroxham itself, known as the Capital of the Broads, has shops, cafes and restaurants within walking distance. The wider area has footpaths and cycling routes crossing it. One dog is welcome. The property does have unfenced water directly behind it, which matters if you have young children. No smoking indoors.
