“The owners are very friendly and welcoming and the cottage is excellent in every way.”

Beautifully situated beside the marina and in an excellent place to visit the countryside, coast and broads. The selling point for us is that they have installed a car charging point alongside the cottage which was a real asset. Hope to visit again in the future.

“This is a truly wonderful place to stay.”

It was so very clean and tidy, it has everything you need. The attention to detail is very impressive. Welcome treats were just that. A fab place to visit the broads. The owners are very friendly and helpful. We have visited twice now and hope to return, if we do I will book direct with the staygb website rather than anyone else as the prices are better. If you want a lovely place to stay then the book the boathouse cottage.

“Ideal situation to explore all that North Norfolk has to offer.”

Peacful situation overlooking the marina, the river and the trees beyond.

“The information provided by Sykes on your website and on your app was inadequate.”

We could not find the location of the cottage despite being told that the map shown on the website was an accurate location. It wasn't. The map on the website showed the cottage to be on the same side of the road as the Wayford Bridge Inn. In fact it was on the opposite side of the road in a marina. We only knew this because we looked up the same cottage on another website and used the location provided on that company. When I called to check the location and asked to speak to the owner of the cottage. All the person I spoke to did was tell me to look at the website. At no time did they comply with my request to allow me to talk to the owner to clarify things. On the other hand the cottage was excellent with tremendous attention to detail. For example the USB charging sockets built into the mains power sockets; large shower gel in each of the bathrooms, all of the crockery pre-washed before arrival and stacked with kitchen towel between each item; a large basket of fruit on the dining table; fresh flowers in the living room and a box of food items like biscuits, tea, sugar in the kitchen. It's very likely that we will book this property again, just not through Sykes.

“Great location on the Broads , near the sea and for us National Trust properties .”

Very comfortable accommodation with plenty going on in the Marina and on the river.
Mr Sanderson January 2019

“First of all, we changed our dates, which was no trouble, all sorted with no fuss.”

The directions to the place were not great, but the place was. We were there in early January, so it was wonderful and quiet in the boatyard. The house (for it is more than a cottage) anyway was well insulated, we were both warm and quiet. The internet breezed in and out, though we were able to watch Springsteen on Netflix so it couldn't have been too leaky. The kitchen is well provided for, as also is the loo situation, with the provision of 3 toilets. The roll top ball is delightful to lay back and read in, and it fills in no time at all. We went to the beaches, we did see the seals, also the wild winds and the long long stretches of empty sands. Our best day out was the Sainsbury Centre for Visiting Arts, we saw the Elizabeth Frink exhibition as well as the marvellous permanent collection. We mostly ate out though on the last night we did have steak pie in the pub across the road which was more than serviceable. Norfolk was good to us, we will be back. Christopher and Kate

“A truly lovely appointed cottage in the marina which gives a very peaceful holiday”
Mr Blake September 2018

“Very comfortable cottage.”

Spotlessly clean. Very warm welcome from owner and a very generous welcome pack. Superb setting. Our best ever holiday with Sykes.
Mr Littlewood September 2018

“We were welcomed by the owner who lives nearby and she showed us around and gave us life jackets for the boat/canoe.”

She was very helpful about places nearby to visit. Everything we could need was there and next time we wont need to take some of the essentials we always take to self catering cottages ! I always take a non slip bath mat however and I think this is something of personal use and wouldn't necessarily expect that to be provided. The towels were snow white and fluffy and the bedlinen was immaculate as were all the furnishings. I don't want to spoil the surprise about the welcome pack but that was wonderful! The owner went the extra mile and sent us a jigsaw piece and a pair of socks we had inadvertently left behind. That's the kind of service that was given throughout our stay.
Mrs Kirk August 2018

“What a lovely place to stay .”

The cottage was immaculately clean.The owners were very friendly and the use of the canoes was an added bonus.We would certainly love to return to this property.
