Holiday Cottages in Norfolk
The Norfolk Broads
The Norfolk Broads are a not just a gigantic nature reserve and the playground for people who love birds and boats. There just as wonderful if you just want to chill out by the water and relax with a drink.
There are plenty of holiday cottages in Norfolk to fit any style of holiday - whether you love to mess around in boats or not. So here's a little selection to get you in the mood.
| Old Costessy | Reedham | Hickling | Wroxham |
| Riverside House | Old Costessy | Sleeps 9-10 |
This is one for a crowd ... the Riverside House sleeps 10 and is believed to be the oldest surviving house in the village, dating to ca. 1590.
Situated on the Upper Wensum and a haven for swans and mallards, it's hard to believe that you're only 5 miles away from Norwich and all its history and amenities. Blakney and the Marshes are about an hour to the north, with the beaches at Sheringham and Cromer slightly closer. And Wroxham, the capital of the Norfolk Broads, is only about 16 miles away.
But if a tranquil waterside break is what you're after, then you don't even need to leave the Riverside House. 200 feet of private river frontage, two Canadian canoes and a decked, covered seating area make it an ideal place to relax and mess about on the river.
Add an indoor heated swimming pool and lovingly restored and equipped accommodation and Riverside House turns into one of the most wonderful holiday cottages in Norfolk.
Coarse fishing is freely available (in season) either from the riverbank or by boat, and in two local private carp lakes.

| Quay End | Reedham | Sleeps 4 |
Reedham encapsulates the essence of the Norfolk Broads. It's simply a lovely place for anyone who loves boats.
This 150 year old cottage overlooks the quay on the River Yare from its own south-facing sun terrace, and looks out over the woodland and marshes beyond.
Inside it's comfortably furnished in cottage style. But you'd hardly come here to sit inside ... this cottage is all about watching life go by on the river, or joining into the fun yourself.
Reedham lies half-way between Norwich and Great Yarmouth, so whether it's shopping and museums you're after, or traditional seaside entertainment, you're simply spoilt for choice.
