We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Wherrymans cottage. Used the boat to explore the river which was really nice, one of the local pubs the Rising Sun was a great place to visit as well.

A wonderful cottage in an idyllic location.
A wonderful cottage in an idyllic location. Everything you need for a relaxing break. Fishing at the end of the garden with the added bonus of boat hire. Great pubs wothin walking distance with food and also a warm welcome for the dog.Loved it so much we have already booked for next year. Thanks to Sara, Daniel and Reuben.
We came from Canada to visit our elderly Auntie who lives in Hellesdon. It was a perfect location and perfect cottage. Description and pictures are true and accurate. We enjoyed the Rising Sun Restaurant as well. Food and staff were excellent. Sara was an excellent hostess as well. Thank you England for a wonderful vacation.

We had a family break with family for my parents 80th birthdays.
We had a family break with family for my parents 80th birthdays. The cottage is lovely a little dated in places but lovely. Location was just perfect, right on the banks of the river and in easy walking distance of the local pubs and shops. It was so peaceful with stunning views. The boat was a bonus as we all loved seeing the sights and the wildlife from the boat, we saw heron and kingfishers 殺. We had amazing weather all week which was also a bonus ☀️ Sarah was very friendly and a attentive and nothing was too much trouble. We would definitely stay here again and recommend to anyone.

We all absolutely loved our holiday here. So peaceful
and relaxing being able to sit by the river. We also rented the boat so we hardly used the car, boating to Wroxham to do our shopping instead. The neighbours were lovely and even having three cars we had no problems parking at all.

Beautiful, tranquil stay. Loved sitting at the bottom of the garden in the early morning watching birds and boats. Hubby and kids fished (just a kids cheap fishing line, nothing too serious) and caught a few. The boat though was the icing on the cake! Loved it.
Loverly cottage in the perfect location. Boat was ideal for exploring the broads.

great location for touring broads and further afield day boat available for hire for the week if required is optional. plenty of places to eat near by nice to sit outside next to the river with the chance of seeing a kingfisher fly by (saw on 3 separate occasions) other birds sighted as well. If you like to see seals Horsey is the place to go about 1/2 hour by car then 15 to 20 minutes walk this was in October. Boat trips at Blakeney about 40 minutes away.
