Thank you for your kind review. We hope that you will come and stay again.
The layout of Brightside cottage was perfect for us. With 1 King, 2 Twin bedrooms and 2 bathrooms upstairs and a King bedroom and bathroom downstairs, there was space for everyone including our dog! The house was very clean and had everything we needed so we only had to take food and bath towels. There is also an EV charger which was useful not to have to try and find one in town.The location of the house is fabulous. Not only is it on a quiet stretch of the broads with access to a row boat or you can just cast a line from the jetty. It is also a 5 min stroll into Wroxham centre where there are pubs, restaurants and boat hire companies along the water’s edge. Roy’s of Wroxham supermarket is also local so no need to travel out of town for groceries either.We would recommend the property and hope to revisit in the future.
What can I say this house was a little gem! The accommodation was fantastic everything you needed. Hired a boat for the afternoon stopped at the pub. Great stay can definitely recommend the house and it’s great location.

We know that mattresses can be a matter of personal taste and these are new mattresses which are medium firm as we try to cater for everyone on the soft to firm spectrum.
We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again.

Stayed with friends and kids. Kids enjoyed the boat, didn’t go far but it was a nice touch! Kitchen was really well equipped to cook a full New Year’s Day lunch for the 8 of us, shame it’s already booked for next new year!

Thanks for your kind review. We hope that you will book again. Happy New Year.
We booked the property to celebrate an 80th birthday. Couldn't have wished for better. The ground floor bedroom and bathroom were ideal as one of our party was disabled. All the family really enjoyed their stay. It was situated in a quiet residential area and within walking distance of a variety of shops, pub and other eateries. Being on the waterfront was an added bonus. It was hilarious watching my daughter and son in law trying to row the tender. Our little dog also enjoyed her stay. Plenty of nice walks close by. It's a memory that we will treasure. Thank you.

Brightside was everything we needed and much more. The house was well furnished and had all that was needed for a comfortable stay. We especially liked the american fridge freezer for cool water and ice on those warm summer days!!

Hi Jeff.
Thank you for your kind review and good to hear that you enjoyed your stay.
Thanks for letting us know about the cupboard, we will get that sorted before the next guest arrives.
Lovely house, plenty of space for 8 people although we were only a party of 4 due to Covid. We went out for lunches and evening meals as that was our choice, but the facilities at Bright Side for cooking are spot on, so well equipped. Comfortable beds and powerful showers, we all loved it and have booked again for later this year. Highly recommend.

Thank you so much for your kind review. We are glad that you enjoyed your stay and are please that you have booked again.
Lovely situated property! Did find the lounge a bit over crowded with furniture and would of liked more blinds or curtains up as felt quite vulnerable especially as early winter nights, bedrooms and bathrooms comfortable and clean, sofas need a good clean in between cushions as full of things other people have left behind! Lovely modern clean kitchen!
Hosts easy to contact and will resolve any problems.
Summer here would be lovely as you can open bifolds for more space overlooking the river

Lovely house, quiet and comfortable except for the beds. All the beds in the house were the same, a slab of unforgiving foam atop a wooden base, what a shame. The short walk to the village was just perfect and the garden was just right for sunny relaxation.

Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate that the firmness of a mattress is a matter of personal choice with soft, medium and firm mattresses available to buy. The bed bases supplied are premium quality and they are complimented by a firm mattress which many of our guests prefer. We have many repeat visitors some staying 4 weeks every year.
We are sorry on this occasion that you found them unsuitable.
However, we are glad that you enjoyed the house and location.
Lovely weekend spent here. Everything from the booking process to the check out was made stress free. Accommodation was very spacious, we were a group of 7 adults and enough space to enjoy it. Great location, walking distance to shops and pubs. We hired a boat for the day wuich made our stay even better. Would reccomend this place to anyone.
