Enjoying a prime position on the banks of the River Wissey, aptly named Riverside Cottage offers cosy, well-appointed accommodation for those looking to enjoy a peaceful location. Adjacent to the owners’, this delightful annexe lies within easy reach of Ely, Cambridge and Newmarket. The gateway to the North Norfolk Coast is just half an hour away, where you will find a string of pretty coastal towns offering a mix of beautiful beaches, marshes and picturesque quays. Hunstanton offers all the fun of the fair, while Wells-next-the-Sea offers a more relaxed atmosphere. The drive between the two will offer beautiful views along with boutiques to shop and places to eat.

Ely, with its magnificent cathedral and stained glass museum is a must, and for history buffs, the Hanseatic Quarter of Old Kings Lynn and the medieval city of Norwich with its splendid Norman castle makes for a great day out. Sandringham Estate is close by and the area offers many National Trust properties including Peckover House and Garden, and Holkham Hall. Welney Wetland Centre is the perfect place for birdwatchers, and there are many pretty routes for walkers and cyclists direct from the door. After a day of exploring, enjoy a waterside barbecue back at Riverside Cottage, or watch the world go by from the large picture window in the living room. Beach 24 miles. Shop ½ mile, pub 100 yards, restaurant 1½ miles.

A little gem of a property

A lovely little property adjoined to the owners, alongside the river. Very well appointed with everything you could need. Beautiful view out of the sitting room patio doors on to the riverbank. Well placed to explore the surrounding countryside and the beach is only 35 minutes away. The owners were extremely accommodating with my 6 month old Vizla puppy and he loved watching the boats go by. The only downside is it is close to the main road but you soon switch off to that when you see the views. Would definitely recommend it, especially if you liked fishing as you can fish from the patio doors and we saw lots of fish surfacing so seems well stocked.

Lovely outlook over the Rivet Wissey

This is a delightful, comfortable, quiet cottage within reach if a number of places worth visiting including Sandringham. The kitchen is small but has a fridge freezer and a dishwasher. There is a cloakroom as well as a bathroom. The king size bed is very comfortable. Mary and Bob looked after us well.
