Broad Cottage Boathouse
Broad Cottage Boathouse is in Ranworth. It's a single boathouse for two people, you're completely on your own. It's over two floors, with the living area and bed upstairs.
It's a four star property, so it's comfortable. You get bedding and towels, WiFi, a TV, and a washing machine. There's parking right outside.
The stairs are internal and a bit steep, as you'd expect. There's a fan for summer.
It's a two minute walk down to the water at Malthouse Broad. There's a staithe and a big grass area with benches. You can sit and watch the boats. The local pub and a village shop are about five minutes walk up the lane.
The real point of it is the wildlife. A boardwalk goes out from the staithe to a floating wildlife centre on Ranworth Broad. You'll see all sorts of birds: grebes, marsh harriers, cormorants roosting in the trees. In summer, look for swallowtail butterflies and dragonflies. You can get guided boat trips from there between April and October. St Helen's Church is nearby, known as the cathedral of the Broads. You can climb the tower for a good view.
For a day out, Wroxham is about seven miles. That's where you hire day boats or get a trip on the bigger pleasure cruisers. Norwich is ten miles away for proper shopping, the castle, or the cathedral.
The north Norfolk coast with its beaches is under half an hour's drive. It's a straight run.
