Modern and furnished to a high standard of comfort, this charming holiday home is a perfect retreat at any time of the year and guests benefit from the use of a rowing dinghy. Now with WiFi Broadband Internet access. Wroxham and Hoveton are divided by the River Bure, with the two villages generally referred to as Wroxham. It is one of the Norfolk Broads largest boat hire centres where you can enjoy river trips, hire a boat, enjoy some fishing, sailing, golf, cycling or walking with nature trails to follow. Sandy beaches can be found just twelve miles away and the City of Norwich with its beautiful cathedral, castle, museum, theatre and superb shopping is just eight miles. The village of Wroxham is home to Wroxham Barns, the Bure Valley Railway and Roys - the largest village store in the country. Here you will find riverside pubs, restaurants and shops that are just a short stroll from Waterside Retreat. The area of Wroxham is actually made up of two villages - Wroxham and Hoveton, split by a low bridge that spans the River Bure. Wroxham is often referred to as the 'Capital of the Norfolk Broads' and is an ideal location to stay at for a variety of reasons: There are plentiful places to eat and drink locally! Wroxham boasts Roys store which claims to the “largest village store in the Country”. Here you will find all your grocery needs with many products being sourced locally as well as a large department store – plenty of retail opportunities to indulge in and only a 5 minute walk. Within a 15 minute drive you could be at one of the glorious sandy Norfolk beaches or if city life is more your thing, then you could be in historic Norwich with a wealth of shopping opportunities and tourist attractions. The Broads is well known for its’ fishing activity – you should expect to find perch, pike, bream, rudd, eel and tench in the waters here. Fishing (subject to season and licence) can be enjoyed from the decking at all our properties. We would obviously be remiss if we didn’t mention the joy of just being out on the water. Within a couple of minutes walk from each property, it is easy to hire a boat by the hour, half day, day or longer. If you fancy a boat trip but without you being the Captain, there are a number of organised boat trips which leave from the centre of Wroxham or from nearby Horning.

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.

Houses don't come much bigger!
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!

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.

Waterside Retreat
Ideal holiday home for a large family group of eight ranging in ages from 12 to 80. Plenty of room for all to relax and the large kitchen - made life somewhat easier for whoever and how many were doing the cooking. The conservatory was well used with the view over the water and the dinghy was put to good use by the younger and more energetic in the party.
Easy walking access to Wroxham and the shops was a bonus.
Highly recommended and our youngsters have already asked if we can return next year !!

Spacious and relaxing
Waterside Retreat was a lovely spacious home, that had all the right elements to make it welcoming. The location was most relaxing being both close to shops and walking running routes. In summer I can imagine sitting out at the waters edge or taking the dingy out, but was a little too chilly for us. The property had everything we needed and was nicely heated throughout the house. Have had a family get together the big lounge and kitchen were ideal. Would recommend this property to anyone looking to stay with a large family or extremes family coming together for holidays as lots of space and ample parking. Thanks for the wonderful use of the property.

The house is perfect for a large group together - clean, spacious & homely.
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 holiday
After going on a boat for the last eight years we decided to have a house for a change which we really enjoyed. The house was very well equipped loads of pot an pans, crockery, cutlery, and all electrical items you could wish for we loved the fridge with the in built ice machine which came in very handy for gin and tonics. The cleanliness was ok
Overall the house was lovely and spacious with a great view and situated in a perfect place for visiting different parts of Norfolk that we have never had chance to see before, also found some new pubs with great restaurants. Thanks for letting us share your house
