A stay on this charming houseboat in the Norfolk Broads is a dream for adventurous couples or small families planning to explore the region’s famous waterways and villages with their dogs in tow. Take the included rowing boat for a gentle paddle at your own pace or join a guided paddleboard or canoe tour through the Broads’ waterways. For longer journeys, hire a boat and cruise to Oulton Broad, where you can moor up for a waterside lunch. Right on your doorstep lies the market town of Beccles (0.5 miles), known for its friendly atmosphere, outdoor cafe culture, independent shops, and excellent local restaurants. For a classic seaside outing, head to Southwold (14 miles) for its sandy beach, colourful beach huts, and dog-friendly pubs, or visit Kessingland Beach (10 miles), which offers a wilder, quieter stretch of coastline.
Step onto this unique floating escape and take a moment to soak in the surrounding scenery of peaceful waters and greenery. Inside you will uncover a bright and welcoming living space that spoils you with natural views through glass doors and floor-to-ceiling windows. Slide open the doors to the veranda and let the fresh air flow through the houseboat. After days of adventure, sink into the lounge space’s soft seating to flick on the Smart TV or simply marvel at the views. Cook up a feast in the well-appointed kitchenette, then gather at the square dining table to enjoy the chef’s work – or dine alfresco out on the veranda when the weather is kind. Choose from two restful bedrooms each night: a master double and a bespoke bunk bedroom that kids will love – both rooms offer more river views. Serving the bedrooms and completing the interior is a well-equipped family bathroom.
Outside, the partially covered veranda sets the perfect scene for morning brews, evening tipples and al fresco meals thanks to its bistro-style table and chairs. Guests will also benefit from private parking for one car in the adjoining boatyard.
