Riverside Holiday Cottage Nr The Iconic Wroxham Bridge. 2-Bedroom Pet-Friendly
Star Cottage is a 2-bedroom (sleeps 4) riverside holiday cottage in the village of Wroxham, in the heart of the Norfolk Broads. The cottage is close to the famous and iconic Wroxham Bridge and has the great benefit of being on the downstream side of the bridge where all the activity takes place! Star Cottage guests can relax in the lounge or on their private patio while watching the ever-changing scenery of wildlife and boating activities taking place on the river before them.
Guests may fish directly from the cottage lawns (in season only), and many other activities such as cycling, canoeing, walking and horse-riding are available very close by - as are a range of pubs, cafes, restaurants and local shopping in Wroxham village centre, which is only a short walk away. The cottage has it’s own private parking but since Wroxham village has a railway station and excellent bus services, so you can easily holiday at Star Cottage without needing a car at all if required.
So, whether you are looking for an energetic holiday or a relaxing one, Star Cottage is the ideal location. And don’t forget that Wroxham is within easy exploring distance of the Norfolk coast, much beautiful countryside and quaint local villages – or even city-centre shopping in Norwich.
The cottage itself sleeps up to four guests in two comfortable bedrooms, one double and one twin. The whole property has been progressively re-decorated to a high standard by the current owners.
On the ground floor the cottage has an entrance hall with storage and cloakroom, with a large open-plan lounge, dining and kitchen area making-up the rest of the ground floor, with French doors leading out onto a small private patio, complete with garden furniture.
Upstairs is a family bathroom including full-size bath with electric shower over. The main double bedroom has views across the river, and includes a dressing table, built-in wardrobe and room for a travel cot if required. The main bedroom also includes a television for those late-night movies!

Centrally placed compact house which is fine for two people. It was very clean with plenty of towels and good bed linen. The WiFi worked well. There was a lot of kitchen equipment but no instructions how to use it.There is a Tassimo coffee machine but no pods supplied so take some with you.It would help if the property description included details of what equipment was available and what is provided on arrival. We had to go straight out to buy soap as none was provided.

Good location, but disappointed by the cleanliness. The cottage needs a deep clean. It was reasonably clean on some surfaces, but the hand rail on the stairs was very unhygienic. The anti bac cloth I used to clean it showed how dirty it was. The kitchen tap needs attention as it makes a loud noise when turned on slowly.The towels were clean.
Yes the kitchen was well equipped. Nice and clean on arrival. Lovely outlook.

Great location with nice views from the private garden to watch the world go byeThe cottage itself is nice but could do with some updating and maintenance The bathroom is looking tied and the shower is really not fit for purpose and a very small bath and found it difficult because of the eves in roof space being 6 foot tallThe property was fairly clean although things like tops of light shade fittings and curtains are full of dust and cobwebs. Hob extractor glass hasn’t been cleaned in a long Time. The taps in the kitchen and upstairs all need replacing This needs to be addressed
An enjoyable short stay. The property was clean and welcoming with an exceptionally well equipped kitchen! Our two dogs loved the place and enjoyed making friends with the local wildlife including 'Harry the heron' as we called him. The ever changing scenery would only get better as the season moves on and the passing of everything from the impressive 'Broadsman' fake paddle steamer to the one man little boats.The cottage is equipped for four but would be a bit cosy for four adults.My only minor criticism is not the look of the sofa which others have commented on but it has seen better days and is very soft with no support.I would happily book Star Cottage again without hesitation.
Excellent location for pubs, boat hire,takeout,supermarket. The property was clean and tidy did not smell of dogs, a little outdated sofa/chair has seen better days but having said that the bed was comfy and we enjoyed our stay overall.

Kitchen was well stocked with equipment, air fryer was a bonus. It was pet friendly. Great location. The beds were uncomfortable and it was cold downstairs. It was an ok stay but we wouldn't go there again due to the beds. The sofa has had its day and needs to be replaced. Overall the place needs decorating as its tired. The shower was possibly the worst experience. Luckily we're not tall as its in the eves and the shower unit itself needs replacing. Bath panel was cracked. I just think for the money they charge in the height of summer it could do with some money spending on it to bring it up to a good level. As I mentioned great location and lovely outlook onto the river.
The host of this property is most obliging and the cottage is in a convenient and beautiful spot. Parking was very close but only for one car if you have more you have to pay elsewhere. Well equipped although the WiFi was very flaky and only basic freeview tv’s plus the bed was a little hard for us. I also feel the cottage would definitely benefit from a bit of redecoration and furniture declutter downstairs. But that aside we really enjoyed our stay and all amenities are on the doorstep within walking distance.
The cottage was delightful and situated in a beautiful location on the river Bure. Getting out and about was easy and central for shopping and eating out.
Great location, walking distance to everything and perfect to watch the boats. Ideal short stay. The only downside was the double mattress was extremely uncomfortable like lying on concrete.
Perfect place for a riverside holiday .
House was well equipted for our family of 4 and dog.
Welcome pack including dog food was appreciated .
Lovely riverside views .
Thank you would visit again .
We had an amazing stay. Property clean. Everything we needed. Fantastic location. The only thing is it needs a shelf in the bathroom.
Thank you, we will be booking again in the new year
Lovely little cottage,good views of river bure , the only thing wasn’t too good was the cottage needs up dating,wasn’t as clean as I would have liked, dirt all round the taps , and bath, beds very old ,but still enjoyed our stay.
Great location on the banks of the river, lovely and relaxing watching the boats go by. Smooth check in and swift communication with the owner via email regarding any questions before we arrived. It is cosy for 4 adults but as the weather was so good we weren’t inside that much, kitchen facilities were good and thank you for the welcome pack of tea, coffee, biscuits and washing up items. It would have been handy to have a clothes airer to dry wet clothes after our days out. WiFi was a touch temperamental and sometimes unusable but we were warned beforehand that it wasn’t the fastest/best but we were on holiday so not that much of an issue to us. The only real issue was one of the single bed mattresses that was obviously old as the springs were felt whatever position you tried to sleep in, we even turned it over to see if that was better!
Cottage was small and needs up dating and new furniture

About the host
Hosted by Owner/Property Manager
I'm Jeremy, the owner of Star Cottage. My family are Norfolk born-and-bred and for many years we had a cruiser on the Broads so I know the area very well. I'm now actually based in Derbyshire but bought the cottage back in 2008 and we use it both for our own holidays and for renting-out to guests, many of whom return year after year. We look forward to welcoming you to Star Cottage for your own holidays!
Why they chose this property
When I was looking for a waterside cottage to buy on the Broads I specifically wanted one that looked out on the the main river and that had plenty of 'passing traffic'. An awful lot of waterside properties in the area are actually located on backwaters and tributaries where nothing happens from one week to the next, or sometimes on the 'wrong side' of a low bridge that few boats can get through. Star Cottage is exactly the opposite and looks out onto the river in the centre of Wroxham (the 'Capital of the Broads') where there is always something going-on and something to watch - whether that be natural activity (lots of ducks, swans and sometimes herons), or boats passing of every size and type.
