Derby’s Loft

The River Waveney runs through a quiet corner of South Norfolk where Derby's Loft sits above a working boatyard. This first-floor conversion occupies a detached boat shed with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the water and a private sun terrace where you can watch the river traffic. The owner lives on-site. An unfenced stretch of river lies about 10 yards from the courtyard, so families with young children should be aware.

Upstairs is all open-plan: a living and dining area with a Smart TV and French doors onto a Juliet balcony, a kitchen equipped to cook proper meals, two bedrooms (one double, one twin), and a shower room. Everything needed for a self-catering stay comes with it—heating, power, bedding, towels and wifi. You get a parking space on site, and the essential amenities (pub, shops, restaurants) are 400 yards away. No smoking inside.

Beccles town centre sits just across the river, home to the heated Lido and boat hire for exploring the Southern Broads. Walking routes and wildlife spotting are accessible directly from here. The Norfolk coast, Lowestoft's beaches and piers, and Norwich with its castle and cathedral all lie within easy reach.
