Guests consistently highlight the immaculate cleanliness, excellent facilities including a games and cinema room, and the perfect setting for family gatherings or group holidays. The property offers beautiful views, abundant wildlife, and easy access to local walks and boat hire.

Multiple reviews describe the property as immaculate, very clean, and well-presented, with no negative comments regarding cleanliness.

The location is repeatedly praised as fantastic, with beautiful views, riverside access, proximity to beaches, wildlife, and local amenities such as boat hire and walks.

    Fantastic property for a large group wanting to access the Broads. Photos don’t really do it justice. Boat hire next door were friendly and helpful. Views from the balcony are fantastic and it was always peaceful and quiet at night

    We Love this House. Been coming for years now as fits our family perfectly. Ages from 9 to nearly 90Obviously will depend on ability of older generation as there are stairs and low toilets but with help and care we manage. Fantastic games room and cinema room. Love being able to relax watching the boats and nearby boat yard is always busy. Lots of stunning walks in countryside. Lovely friendly pub we like to visit in Martham with great family garden. We love it just hope my parents can keep enjoying it and making more memories together
