Awful
If all you want from a break away is a view internet and hot water this is ideal.However if you require the basics like comfy seats, bed with decent bedding,heating sufficient to keep you comfortable,smoke alarm that works,pat tested electrics,oven and hob which work at the same time,I suggest you avoid . I could go on but you get the idea. We checked out early and continued our break at a nearby hotel.Booked through Sykes never again .

If you want to use the garden, go somewhere else, this place is flooded every day.
I wanted a week's peaceful fishing from the pretty looking garden.
It was flooded the whole week and unusable most of the time.
This must have been known about and I should have been warned!

Mr
This is such a little gem. An old boathouse fitted out for a holiday stay. The stairs going in are steep and scary, but once inside you have a lovely cosy studio with an amazing view. We found the driveway is best dealt with by backing in from the narrow lane as there is no turning area. There is a fantastic gastro pub about a mile walk away called the Ship Inn, but this retreat is best suited to people who want to relax. Kayakers will love the access from the property to South Walsham Broad. I would suggest that catering facilities are pretty basic so plan dinner out, although we found a couple of takeaways who deliver via just eat. The boat house sits over the broad and is all wood construction. There is a lovely water garden nearby and they do some great food too. If you visit here and stay at Cygnus, be prepared for some amazing views. To top it all, a pine marten crossed the kane just in front of me on our last day. Nature is all around you there!

Best view in Norfolk
The boat house is simple accommodation but has everything you need for a holiday, the views across the Broad is stunning with a nice garden and balcony to watch the wildlife and boats go by. Would book again for sure.
