Wonderful stay on Hickling Broad

A 60th birthday celebration with sailing, kayaking and canoeing. Great place with lovely garden and easy access to broad via public slipway and local boatyard. Relaxing house with everything you could need. Loved the homemade cake and provisions left by Jane.

Relaxing by the glorious Norfolk Broads

For grandchildren, children and grandparents, this was The perfect house. Magnificent country walks, beaches a short ride away. It was spacious enough to give all six of us the privacy that at times we needed. Breakfast and dinner were eaten in the beautiful garden. Altogether a wonderful break
