Jane was super helpful. A lovely comfy very clean space with the perfect sun spot outside. Summer house was a lovely touch. Location is very quiet, even in August. ##### Gillian B.

Hosts were really friendly and on hand when needed. Some great walks for the dog and enjoyed having a local pub within a 5 minute walk. Property is probably best suited for a small / medium sized dog as the steep stairs would be a challenge for a large dog. Would recommend this property location and hosts. ##### Andrew J. Stayed 6 nights in Oct 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Gary Haylett 16 Jul 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location Disliked: Listing accuracy #### Relaxing Our overall holiday was lovely. Very peaceful and relaxing. The hot tub and summer house were great and we had brilliant weather. The major issue was the stairs. I don't believe that the property is really dog friendly as they are exceptionally steep with open risers. Our dog was not able to go up and down on it's own and anyone with mobility issues would really struggle. One of the bannisters was also loose. We made the most of the holiday but would not return. I don't feel it is advertised totally truthfully unfortunately, due to the stairs. ##### Gary Haylett Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tracey K. 2 Jul 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Thr Boat House Absolutely loved our 7 nights stay.

Jane and John are wonderful hosts and the boathouse is just perfect. From booking, to check in everything was easy and simple. Our stay was fantastic, the location is ideal for a relaxing stay and to explore the Norfolk Broads. Wonderful! ##### Sean R.

Beautiful village, great hosts, very relaxing. Everything you needed. Even the weather was great. Stairs were challenging but this was explained in their accomodation details. ##### Celia J. Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ruth B. 8 Sept 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful, soothing and fascinating The property is gorgeous, had everything I could have asked for. The summer house is beautiful and effectively and extra room allowing me to enjoy the summer evenings even when there was the odd shower. The peace and quiet is exquisite and was so relaxing, I slept for hours. Jane was so helpful and not at all intrusive. My privacy was respected and I was able to enjoy the tranquillity but in the knowledge that assistance would be there if I needed it. Perfect. A fascinating holiday in that the Norfolk Wildlife Trust is just round the corner via a lovely board walk. I went on a number of their boat trips and can highly recommend them, especially the trip to St Benet's Abbey. The Boat House is a wonderful holiday destination, I cannot recommend it highly enough! ##### Ruth B.

This property was just so lovely! Spotlessly clean when we arrived which immediately put us at ease given the COVID-19 world we now live in. It was beautifully decorated and we really appreciated the little touches - milk, tea/coffee/sugar, anti bac wipes/sanitiser and even freshly cut flowers from Jane's beautiful garden. This was exactly what we needed for a couple of days away and what a lovely village location too. Great views from the top window and the hot tub and prosecco was a lovely special extra! :) We had a great meal at the Maltsers in the village - would highly recommend. We definitely hope to come back again and had such a lovely stay. Jane is a brilliant host and great communication made our booking and stay super straightforward. Thank you! :) ##### Fennie G.
