Another holiday at summertime and yet another lovely week the garden flooded twice but it also brought the swans and ducks onto the garden and a heron lovely watching them quite close up . The cottage doesn’t get affected though by the flooding it was still warm dry and very comfortable and we was still able to get about . The cottage has everything you could need and being on the broads close to a lot of lovely places to visit and plenty of places to eat out too . Looking forward now to the next time we holiday there .
