Oby is a small hamlet that sits under the big open skies that Norfolk is so famous for and its location close to the east coast beaches and within The Broads National Park, means that you have the best of both worlds on your doorstep.  The landscape is relatively flat and makes fantastic cycling country, try your hand at The Broads Explorer loop. The coast hosts some beautiful sandy beaches; Winterton-on-Sea and Horsey are less than 20 minutes away.  At Horsey get up close and personal with the resident seal colony and if you are visiting in the winter, the seal pups will melt your heart. The Broads National Park boasts 125 miles of inlets and waterways to explore, seek out the Canoe Man who will take you in a kayak to explore some of the quieter reaches of the river systems – a perfect escape from your everyday world, or enjoy a guided wildlife trip on a larger boat at nearby Horsey Mere. Car enthusiasts will enjoy a visit to Caister Castle Car Collection in the summer months, one of the largest privately owned collections in the country.  The children will enjoy taking to the raised walkways at Thrigby Hall Wildlife Gardens for a unique view of its Asian animal inhabitants or an outing to the resident Hippodrome Circus in Great Yarmouth. For walkers, Weaver’s Way is easily accessible with plenty of circular routes within it. Spoilt for choice, this is a great part of Norfolk, come and discover it for yourself, you won’t regret it.

The cottage was lovely and the owners were very welcoming. The location was perfect for a quiet peaceful holiday. The welcome cake and milk were a lovely touch. Shame we could only spend a week there but hopefully we'll be able to come back again. It

We had a fantastic stay here. The house is well-equipped and in a lovely rural location - the views across the fields are great. The owners were great hosts and were happy to show our small children around their vegetable garden and the farm animals that are nearby. We were also treated to a tour of the owner's personal vineyard. We will likely be Read moreback. Hide

Another lovely stay. We have two young children (5 & 7) and who have loved the experience of seeing the farm, under Jonathan's careful supervision, in the morning and evening taking part in feeding the animals, finding eggs and following Sooty the cat around. The cottage is an ideal layout with a great view across the garden into the field behind. Read moreAngela is a brilliant host and had a cake ready on arrival long with a jug of fresh milk.

A lovely comfortable and spacious cottage in wonderful surroundings. It was good to see all that was growing in the garden, there was such a variety of fruit, veg and flower with hardly a weed in sight. We had a great week and the weather was just perfect.
