"Beautifully appointed cottage with good amenities of the finest quality. Thank you for the kind touches such as the fresh flowers and welcome basket and other supplies. This has been a comfortable and convenient place to be based for our holiday. You couldn't ask more of a holiday cottage."

"Lovely cottage in picturesque setting alongside the marina. Quality furnishings and utensils providing a very comfortable stay. Nice area in the heart of the Norfolk Broads, but also allows easy access to coast by car and train from Wroxham. Enjoyable 10 day break and lovely weather every day!"

"Thank you for a wonderful holiday! Our 4th opportunity to visit these beautifully presented properties, and enjoy the amenities and extras that make both the Boathouse and Boathouse Cottage a delight and a pleasure to spend our holidays in. Perfectly situated within easy reach of so many of Norfolk Broads must see attractions. Hopefully we shall be back again soon. Many thanks for all your help."

"Beautiful cottage in an ideal location. Welcome pack of essentials was very useful and thoughtful."

"A lovely stay at the Boathouse. It is modern with all the facilities you need. A great base for exploring the Broads and also the costal seaside towns."

"Beautiful accommodation, tastefully furnished and very comfortable. Stunning location. Alice is a charming and helpful host."

"We've had a lovely stay at The Boathouse. The property and location is excellent. The house was immaculately clean on arrival. The kids have enjoyed fishing on the adjacent jetty. Other highlights have included afternoon tea at Vera's, running on the Weavers Way, a nature boat trip on Hickling Broad, a day out at Great Yarmouth Pleasure Beach attractions and seeing the Seals at Horsey beach."

"The Boathouse is a beautifully appointed fully equipped cottage situated a short drive from Wroxham and within walking distance of both a farm shop and the Wayford Bridge public house and Restaurant. The Boathouse is an ideal holiday accommodation for a stay on the Norfolk Broads."

"We have come to the end of another holiday at the Boathouse, as usual everything was immaculate apart from the weather the first week, seemed like continual rain. However the second week was bright and sunny just like Alice and family. Thank you all for another brilliant stay. We did not venture far as it is a really relaxing place with plenty to see in the marina. As well as wildlife we did find Orchids in the meadow and spent several hours trying for the perfect image. Thank you again Alice and family for a really relaxing and perfect holiday despite the rain!"

"A beautifully furnished and equipped (right down to a wine fridge) cottage, tucked away in a quiet corner of a boat yard. The Broads and the beach not far."

"Had a lovely stay at The Boathouse. Very good facilities. Modern - up to date Kitchen. Excellent welcome hamper, one of the best we have received. Lots to do in the local vicinity. Would come back."

"We found The Boathouse spotless and was well provided for. The welcome hamper was full of delicious treats. The veranda was an asset for enjoying a glass of wine, watching the setting Sun."

"Thank you for a lovely stay. The Boathouse is very well equipped and perfectly clean - probably the cleanest property we've ever stayed in! The lovely treats left for us were much appreciated too."

"Thank you for a lovely Easter weekend break. The cottage is in a beautiful, peaceful spot - it is very well equipped and presented exquisitely with everything we needed and more. The Easter treats and flowers are very much appreciated and the two ensuite bedrooms were comfortable and warm with a bonus of blackout blinds. Thank you again - we will be back."

"As ever Alice made us feel very welcome. The cottage was very warm and cosy. Thank you so much for your kindness on my Birthday. Tracey."

"The Boathouse has a fantastic location. The house is very comfortable and well equipped (prefer bigger mugs). The welcome pack of fruit, wine, scones etc is amazing and I especially appreciated the fresh flowers! We loved the canoes and managed a few trips in them. Would definitely recommend coming here and would certainly return. Thank you."

"What can we say. Just everything you would want in a holiday. This is one of the best places we have stayed in and we have stayed in lots. The welcome pack was amazing and a lovely bunch of flowers was a super touch. This boat house has everything you would want when away. Fab showers, beds, lots of hanging space and drawers. Kitchen is well equipped and if we didn't have what you want the owner was more than helpful to sort it for you if needed. All four of us will give 10/10 for our stay and will defo be coming back next year. Thank you!"

"Lovely location and property. Great layout. Canoes wonderful. Lucky we had bailers. Best welcome package ever. Would like slightly larger tea pot."

"Extremely well stocked little cottage. Fresh fruit basket, milk jam soap etc all welcome touches. Well situated for the beaches, culture and best of all the canoes were a great activity."

"Fabulous situation on the waters edge, enabling us to watch the Otter, two Kingfishers and fish in the clear waters. The Boathouse is absolutely beautiful with everything that you could possibly require on your visit. Alice makes you very welcome. We had a great two weeks holiday."
