A stay in this floating holiday pod on the Norfolk Broads offers a wonderfully original way to experience this famous network of waterways, perfect for couples, families, or groups of friends looking for a memorable waterside retreat with their loyal sidekick in tow. For active days out, use the included rowing boat or join a guided stand-up paddleboard (SUP) or canoe tour to glide through quiet channels. Hire a boat and cruise to Oulton Broad, mooring up for a relaxed lunch with your four-legged pal by your side. You’re also right on the edge of the lovely market town of Beccles, with plenty of dog-friendly cafes, excellent restaurants with outdoor seating, and independent shops to browse. For a classic seaside outing, Southwold (14 miles) is a treat for both humans and wagging tails alike. Closer still, Kessingland Beach (10 miles) is a quieter sandy spot where your canine companion can run free.

Step inside, and you'll find a welcoming living space with a comfortable sofa for cosying up with your four-pawed friend at your feet after a day on the water. Enjoy watching river life drift by through the windows, or settle in for movie night on the small Smart TV. The well-equipped kitchen area has everything you need for simple meals, from breakfasts on the deck to light bites before your next adventure. There are two inviting bedrooms on board: a double and a twin with two single beds, both enjoying superb river views. The modern bathroom is there for a refreshing soak after a day of adventures on or by the water.

Head outside onto your private waterside veranda, an unbeatable spot to soak up the riverside atmosphere. Watch life on the river, take in views towards Beccles Old Bridge and Beccles Quay, and enjoy long evenings under the stars. Private parking in the adjoining boatyard makes your stay even easier.
