A lovely property

This is a lovely property on the edge of the Broads. It was very clean and comfortable, and well equipped, and the host was very helpful. There is easy access to Norwich and the coast, and some lovely walks into the Broads from the doorstep. There isn't a shop in the village, but Acle is less than 10 minutes drive and has a small supermarket, pubs and takeaways. The big supermarkets in Great Yarmouth are only 15 minutes away.

Lovely property and garden, great location !

The cottage is lovely and clean and v well appointed. Location is ideal for exploring Norwich and the eastern part of the Norfolk coast. Hosts very helpful despite being out of the country at the time of visit. Certainly recommend for a relaxing stay, esp if you like a nice garden. Shops a short drive but it’s all the big supermarkets so you can get everything you need quickly and easily and at any time of day. Will hopefully be back for another visit !

Great, relaxing stay

Lovely location, in the middle of a small village, very quiet. Refurbished to a high standard. Comfortable inside and a beautiful garden, though note it's not completely enclosed so escape artists dogs need to be leads. Very responsive, friendly hosts

About the host

Hosted by Glenn Hewson

Hi! We are Glenn and Georgie. We both grew up just outside of Los Angeles where we were high school sweethearts. Fast forward a bunch of decades and we love living in our old village school on the Norfolk broads. We are both in the technology sector and mostly work from home so are available to make your stay as comfortable as possible

Why they chose this property

Broadlands Cottage is a mini home away from home near everything in the beautiful Norfolk Broads and Norfolk coastline. It's part of an old village school with playground now replaced by lovely gardens. We like the small village environment but still close to Norwich's restaurants, market, museums and theatres.

What makes this property unique

It is located directly on the 61 mile Weavers Way long-distance trail between Great Yarmouth and Cromer and minutes into the Broadlands marshes for critter watching and dog walks
