Booked two weeks at this traditional riverside property .we loved its charm and character . The views are stunning, the accommodation is comfortable and more . We made use of the boat for shopping trips and fishing in different areas. Fed the heron out of my hand on the balcony . Hot tub was wonderful . Games room kept the younger family members entertained. We haven’t had such a lovely holiday where everyone’s needs were covered in a long time.The Owner obviously takes pride in his property and Sam who greeted us was friendly and helpful ,gave us the information we needed for the area. We certainly hope to return .

Property was quaint in lovely setting with lovely outlook to river Bure. Lots of amazing wildlife and very relaxing surroundings and several different settings outdoors and indoors to make use of. The kitchen was well stocked with cooking and eating utensils appropriate to a group of up to 10 people. As a group of older friends we had a great holiday together and enjoyed our time immensely. On the downside the bedrooms were small and 2 showers were not very convenient to use. Towels generally were poor size and quality and tea towels in particular were inadequate. There were no extra towels for use in hot tub. We could also have done with an additional house key among a group of seven. On checkout we were disappointed to be charged a significant sum for damages (£150), although this was refunded when it was clear this was charged in error.

We had an amazing week at Southover, the layout and spaciousness of the property meant that the four generations of our family could stay comfortably together under one roof! The fifth bedroom was separate from the house which suited us perfectly we called it the “granny annex” a retreat for the great grandparents! The spacious living and kitchen area was perfect with plenty of room for our large gathering! We were very happy too that all the decking areas were enclosed front and back of the house so that our two toddlers were safe and could enjoy the magic of the boats on the river without worry! The beautiful village of wroxham with all its facilities is only a 25 walk or 10 mins by the boat! Overall we had an amazing time and would love to return again sometime! Thankyou Robert and your team for your hospitality.

We had a lovely long weekend at Southover - a very unique property, full of character, in a fantastic location. We all loved the hot tub and it was amazing to have the boat included too, which we used to explore the local area. We visited for a special birthday with just the four of us and there was more than enough room. It would be perfect for a larger family too. Robert was quick to respond to questions before our stay, and fast to call me to respond to a query during our stay. We all had a great time and I would recommend Southover to others.

We stayed at Southover for a week in April and had a lovely time. The property is right on the river with plenty of parking and the bonus of a boat which everyone enjoyed. The property is quirky with very uneven floors but is extremely well equipped. The hot water and heating are excellent. If you love boating and wildlife this is the place for you. We hadn't realised from the description that one of the ensuite bedrooms is not in the main house but accessed from the outside deck and is over the boat house. It can be slippery outside when wet so you need to be aware that this room probably wouldn't suit older people. The house is not on the mains sewer and has a septic tank and unfortunately we had a raw sewage incident in one of the showers . Robert is easy to contact and he immediately sent his handy man over to deal with and it was cleaned up in 2 hours. It was however very unpleasant. Overall we really enjoyed our stay and I doubt you will find a better location for large groups.
