    “The listing is inaccurate as it says there is a DVD player but there isn't.”

    Also, the TV needs retuning as there are not many Freeview channels. However, we watched BBC iplayer and the other catch-up channels. The central heating was a boon as it turned cold in the evenings and it quickly fired up and blasted heat all through. The shower was great, masses of hot water (just give it a little time for the hot to come through). There is no freezer and the freezer compartment in the fridge was very iced up and needs defrosting. There were no instructions for any of the ...

    Also, the TV needs retuning as there are not many Freeview channels. However, we watched BBC iplayer and the other catch-up channels. The central heating was a boon as it turned cold in the evenings and it quickly fired up and blasted heat all through. The shower was great, masses of hot water (just give it a little time for the hot to come through). There is no freezer and the freezer compartment in the fridge was very iced up and needs defrosting. There were no instructions for any of the appliances but it was fairly easy to figure out how to use them and they all worked. We would consider returning here as it's well-placed for exploring the broads and reasonably priced but next time will take some oven gloves, scissors and a can opener.

About the location

HORNING

Wroxham 3.5 miles; Norwich 11 miles; Great Yarmouth 17 miles.

The village of Horning is perfectly located for exploring the Norfolk Broads. Set on the River Bure, the village stretches a mile along the banks and enjoys a number of waterside properties, pubs, shops, restaurants and a popular tea room. For a fun trip out you can enjoy a double-decked paddle-steamer, a purpose built boat for the Broads, which can even be privately hired for up to 100 people. The boat also has the benefit of a bar and occasionally a live jazz on board! Horning also enjoys a summer fete, regular sailing races and many other events especially throughout the summer. A lovely location for the Broads and beyond.
