Riverside Cottage

South Norfolk's quiet backwater setting along the River Wensum makes this single-storey cottage a genuine retreat. The village itself has two pubs, a shop, post office and golf course, while Norwich is five miles away for theatre, museums and restaurants. Wroxham, the Broads' hub, sits ten miles north; the Heritage Coast with its beaches and RSPB reserves is under an hour's drive.

Riverside Cottage holds four guests across two bedrooms—a double with en-suite shower room, and two singles sharing a bathroom. Ground-floor living means easy access throughout. The kitchen is fully equipped for cooking; heating, electricity, bed linen, towels and wifi are all included. One dog is welcome here. Parking on site takes two cars.

The real draw is the heated indoor swimming pool (23ft x 13.5ft), open year-round. Beyond that sits an enclosed garden with patio, terrace and barbecue, leading down to your own stretch of river frontage. Two canoes are available for use. Fishing is possible on-site (a licence is required). The combination of water access, private garden and pool makes this property suit families or groups wanting a self-contained break with room to move.
