“This property exceeded all our expectations!”
Cleanliness, comfort and location were second to none. It is located next to Coltishall Bure Valley steam train station and you can watch the trains pass by. They are not loud and wouldn’t disturb you indoors. It was nice to wave to the people on the train as it passed by. If you fancy an outing without driving you can phone up and book the train and request to get on at Coltishall. It goes from Wroxham to Aylsham, but if you want a longer ride you need to go to Aylsham which is about a 30 minute trip.
The property has 2 bedrooms, both tastefully decorated and very comfortable beds. The twin room has a single shelved wardrobe and a set of drawers, and the double room has a double wardrobe with drawers, a single shelved wardrobe, a set of drawers and a dressing table with drawers, enough storage for a family of four. There is a basket of toys for younger children under one of the twin beds.
A bath towel and a bath sheet are provided for each person, all good quality.
The lounge was comfortable with a TV and dvd player and a stack of films in the drawer, and another unit with books.
The kitchen has a set of drawers full of games, and a radio/cd player.
With a washer and a dishwasher, there is everything you need.
The front of the property has enough space for 2 cars.
The back of the property has seating for 4 people.
It is approx 5 minutes drive to Horstead Mill on the River Bure. It is quite a busy spot in the summer with people on paddle boards, dinghies etc and both adults and children wild swimming.
The common which is also about 5 minutes drive is a lovely spot, a huge grassy area where you can sit and watch the life on the river, have an ice cream or a drink from one of the 2 public houses. We went to The Rising Sun which was very busy and got some drinks in take away glasses and sat in the sunshine on the common watching the boats go by.
Approx 35 minutes drive to Great Yarmouth, Cromer, Sheringham, and Potter Heigham and 10/15 minutes from Wroxham where you can book river trips or a rent your own boat for a day or even a couple of hours.
Wonderful stay and would definitely book again if visiting the area.
