Cygnet cottage Horning, Norfolk

Day boats can be hired locally and moored alongside the properties, and each cottage boasts a riverside terrace with seating, perfect for relaxing with a drink and enjoying the ever changing boating activity.

A short stroll leads to an indoor heated swimming pool (where discounted prices are offered to visitors) and to the village of Horning, with its shops, pubs, restaurants and paddle steamer trips. The surrounding quiet country lanes are great for cycling and walking and, close by, Norfolk’s newest attraction – Bewilderwood’s treetop adventure – is a must for children.

Wroxham, the ‘capital’ of the Broads, is just 4 miles, whilst glorious beaches at Sea Palling and Winterton, family fun at Great Yarmouth and Cromer’s end of pier show are all within easy reach as are the pretty fishing villages, seal watching boat trips and bird reserves of the lovely North Norfolk coast. Medieval Norwich city, with its castle, cathdral, cinemas and good shopping, is a short drive. Pub and shop under 0.5 miles.
