Had a great time at Nightingale riverside property, very clean, tidy and right in the middle of Wroxham with all its shops and food outlets. I didn't give it an excellent rating for location only because the boat yards on the river use the area in front of the garden as a turning point when they are showing new holidaying boaters how to control the boat. As I was doing a little bit of fishing this wasn't what I or the fish wanted 😒. I'm looking forward to going back when the boat traffic dies down.

Wonderful weather - excellent electric boat hire. Enjoyed lovely relaxing boat trips with lazy lunches on the waterside.

Well located clean property and we spent a lot of time just watching the boats go by. We would have preferred a dishwasher rather than the installed washing machine. One little niggle was that although comprehensive directions were given the crucial last 100 metres (through a working boatyard) were unclear
