This is Waterside, in Hoveton, Norfolk. Essentially, it's a modern apartment built over a working boatyard on the River Bure, so you look right out over the water.
It sleeps eight people across four bedrooms. Each bedroom has its own bathroom, which is handy. It's got a 4 Star rating, so it's well-equipped and comfortable.
The layout is upside down. The kitchen and living area are upstairs to make the most of the view. There's a glass balcony up there to sit out on. Downstairs, there's a small decked area by the water.
Being on the boatyard means you see the comings and goings on the river. It's not a quiet, remote spot, it's active. The main benefit is you get the use of a motor launch included with your stay, which you can moor right outside. There's a charge for it during the summer holidays though, which you arrange with me separately. Life jackets are provided.
Hoveton is right next to Wroxham, which is where all the boating shops and cafes are. Shops are about a five-minute walk. The area is good for walking and cycling along the river paths.
For days out, the coast is about half an hour's drive. Cromer and Sheringham are the main seaside towns. Norwich is under half an hour away for a city visit. If you like stately homes, Felbrigg Hall and Blickling Hall are both National Trust places nearby.
Facilities: there's parking on site, WiFi, a TV, dishwasher, and bedding and towels are included. We allow up to two dogs. There's a cot and highchair if needed.
