"This converted barn is absolutely stunning and set in a wonderfully peaceful location with a river running by. Caroline, the host lives nearby and was very helpful and friendly. There’s lots to do in the area and Norwich is close by with all facilities."

"Exceptional communication, Caroline is a great host. Stunning surroundings which matched the Boathouse Barn. Lovely walks in surrounding area. Extremely peaceful, with only birdsong song to hear. Great wi-fi reception. Even the towels were first class. Would recommend that everybody should stay here at some point."

Additional Information

Boathouse Barn is situated very close to the River Bure and although there is an enclosed garden care must be taken to keep children out of danger.

The owners live within the grounds and have two friendly dogs who may come and greet you upon arrival.

Dogs are welcome but must be kept under control and cleared up after at all times. The garden attached to the barn is enclosed for children and dogs.

As long as you have a fishing license, you can fish in the river next to the property during fishing season.

Guests have the option of arranging with the owners to hire canoes and paddle boards.

Location

Set in the Broads National Park, surrounded by nature and woodland, this beautiful riverside property is set in rural paradise. You may find you never feel the urge to leave the grounds!

Beyond the gates however, there is an entire county to explore. The Broads National Park is home to over 125 miles of waterways waiting to be discovered as well as numerous towns and villages each with their own individual quirks and charm. You'll never find yourself short of destinations to set sail for.

Horstead itself is a peaceful village, with the River Bure flowing through the centre which splits with neighbouring village Coltishall. There are several delightful pubs on your doorstep including the very popular Recruiting Sergeant, just a 10-minute walk up the road. You can even paddle down the river to the Rising Sun or over the river to the Norfolk Mead Hotel with its spa and superb restaurant. At the end of the road, you will find an excellent deli, a quality butcher shop, local takeaways, and a charming village mini-supermarket.

The picturesque beaches of East and North Norfolk are only half an hour away - as well as the vibrant market town of Aylsham is only 10 minutes away. The 'capital of the Norfolk Broads', Wroxham is right around the corner (4 miles) and is an ideal spot to hire a boat for the day to explore the peaceful and tranquil nature of one of the most famous attractions in the U.K.

Explore the river at your own pace by arranging with the owners to hire canoes and paddle boards. There are also many footpaths from the property to enjoy!

Norwich City is just 6 miles away, around 15 minutes by car. Also reached by a regular bus route just at the end of the drive. Hoveton & Wroxham station is 5 minutes from the property and has good train connections via Norwich to London or the North.
