The property

Grebe Cottage is a fine riverside house in Horning, Norfolk, with dedicated off-road parking, private jetties and moorings, and a marina view on the River Bure.

Arrive to the gentle clink of rigging and the ever-changing parade of boats all around, then step into the open-plan living space where cooking, dining and downtime come together in one easy flow.

The kitchen is well-suited to self-catering, offering an electric oven and hob alongside a microwave and fridge/freezer, ideal for rustling up suppers after a day outdoors.

Gather at the dining area for unrushed breakfasts, then drift over to the sitting area to unwind with the Smart TV.

When it’s time to settle in, you’ll find two bedrooms, one double and one twin, offering flexible sleeping arrangements for a small family or friends sharing a Broads break.

A bathroom with a bath and shower over completes the indoor space, perfect for freshening up after time spent by the water.

Outside, the patio with a picnic bench is made for morning coffee and simple alfresco meals, with the marina outlook adding plenty to look at as boats come and go.

With one well-behaved pet welcome, your canine companion can tag along for riverbank strolls and waterside sniffs.

Set right on the River Bure, Grebe Cottage puts you in the heart of Horning, one of the Broads’ most characterful riverside villages.

A short stroll takes you to well-known local spots such as The Swan Inn and The Ferry Inn, perfect for relaxed meals overlooking the water, while riverside paths invite gentle walks past moored boats and traditional boatyards.

Horning is also home to the Riverside Shops and cafés, ideal for browsing between boat-watching sessions.

For days out, nearby Wroxham is often called the ‘capital of the Broads’ and offers boat hire, waterside restaurants and family attractions including BeWILDerwood adventure park.

Nature lovers can head to Ranworth Broad for wildlife-rich boardwalks and panoramic views from St Helen’s Church tower, while the historic city of Norwich adds variety with its cathedral, castle, independent shops and vibrant dining scene.

Whether you’re exploring by boat, on foot or by car, this riverside base makes discovering the Norfolk Broads wonderfully easy.

However you choose to spend your time, Grebe Cottage makes a great base for a Broads getaway.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £250.
