We had a few family members over for a get-together. The check-in process was very simple and the home was exactly as described. It was clean overall but some of the rooms were dusty. We also found the lack of towels a little inconvenient. Overall, if you’re thinking of staying here then would recommend!

We stayed the last weekend in January for my mum’s 80th birthday celebrations. We were lucky with the weather so used the rowing boat which was great fun. The place was perfect with enough rooms and bathrooms for everyone and everything you could need, including a large fridge and plenty of crockery. Dining room with ten chairs and four large sofas so everyone could be together. Would definitely recommend and will be returning. We also hired a 12 seater boat for half a day from Wroxham Lauch Hire. 5 mins walk and man was so helpful. A great way to really experience the Broads. Can’t rate highly enough :-)

Lovely spacious property for a large family stay. Ideally situated with easy access to nearby facilities. There were some issues with the cleanliness. However the owners were very responsive to feedback

We all really enjoyed our stay at this property. The living/dining room & outside space was lovely. The kitchen was well equipped but not as well organised as it could be making finding some utensils difficult. Also the crockery & cutlery was not as clean as I would have liked, however this didn’t spoil our stay. Overall I would recommend this property & would definitely stay here again.

The house is perfectly geared up for large groups. There were 8 of us but could easily sleep 10 or 11. There’s two large tables to seat everyone & lots of storage space. It was very clean and well equipped. The location is perfect to explore the area & the view over the river is beautiful. Would highly recommend.

Great house in a lovely location on the water. Very clean. Walking distance into town. We hired a day boat locally. The men enjoyed the fishing off the decking, even managing to catch the resident pike. Look forward to returning in the future.

There were 10 adults, 1 child and a baby for our weekend at the house. We went for a special birthday weekend away for family and close friends. What amazing place. Even though there were 12 of us nobody felt we got in each other’s way. The weather was awful (snow) but this did not stop us from enjoying the weekend. The house was very warm and inviting and the amenities close by were all that was needed. We would like to experience the house again in warmer weather. Fantastic house, fantastic location.

This property is wonderful. We arrived after a 5 hour journey and we were all thrilled to arrive. The photographs do not do it justices. Our elderly parents and elderly aunt were over the moon to be in such a wonderful, peaceful place. They made use of the conservatory all day every day. The weather was kind to us most of the time which gave us chance to sit out on the deck area. We were visited every day by a friendly Heron and a family of geese and swans. ( the Geece did not like the swans) we resisted feeding them but I am sure the reason they were so tame was that they had been fed the past. The shops in Wrexham were a 2 minute walk away with plenty of shops, cafes and places to eat. We hire a day boat and had a lovely meal at a riverside pub. I would not hesitate to return and to recommend this little gem to family and friends. We could not fault anything, although as we had 2 over 80 and 1 over 90 who used the downstairs bedrooms I would suggest that the step from the hallway into the bedrooms be made more oap friendly. It was a bit of a trip hazard. On the whole we all cannot wait to return thank you Paul for allowing us to share your wonderful holiday home. The Twell family Mr & Mrs Fox Mrs Gibbs July 2016

Very spacious, well laid out property. Double beds very comfortable. Plenty of bathrooms and parking for a larger group. Beautiful location on the Broads with great access to shops, pubs and things to do.

Ideally situated riverside setting only a few minutes walk from boatyards, shops and a good variety of eateries. The grandchildren loved Bewilderwood which is only 2 miles away. An ideal setting for a lovely relaxing break.

We were a family party of 10. The property is in an excellent location right in the heart of the Norfolk Broads. From our arrival everything was made easy with the security lock check in. First impressions, the house is huge! So much space for everyone to chill. The family loved it. The kitchen is massive and, well equipped with everything you need. The outside decking gave us plenty of space to dine and enjoy the sunny evenings. We made use of the BBQ as we celebrated the Queen's Jubilee. We hired a day boat a few times from Richardsons. With the moring right outside, it made it so easy to drop everyone off. We had a fabulous holiday. Made so much better with excellent living facilities. The customer service from Paul was fantastic. My granddaughter left her mobile phone behind. Paul had it posted back to her the very next day One very happy girl ! I would highly recommend booking the Waterside Retreat. Absolutely everything you need all in one place!
