Well kept ,very clean,lovely furnishings, host lesley had supplied lovely welcome basket ,no shortage of equipment in kitchen at all bedrooms ars all a good size as well really nice view of the river from dining room
The property was spotless and very comfortable, sitting in the garden watching the boats go by was so peaceful and relaxing. Being in our 80s we found the walk to and from the car park a little hard but a perfect place to stay

Thank you for your kind and generous review of Vespers.
I am so pleased that you enjoyed your stay and found Vespers comfortable and well equipped. As a keen cook myself, I find it frustrating when the kitchen has limited supplies of pots and pans.
Thank you for looking after Vespers and leaving it so tidy. It is very much appreciated.
Kind regards Lesley
Lesley is absolutely amazing. The level of communication was outstanding and very helpful too. I was able to contact Lesley throughout my holiday if I needed to and she would respond in a timely manor.Vespers is a lovely waterside chalet in a peaceful area, it was lovely to sit and watch the boats drive past in the morning while the rest of family were sleeping. We would definitely hire vespers again.Highly recommended

Thank you for your kind and generous review. It was a pleasure to host your family for your celebratory holiday.
I am so pleased Vespers helped you have a memorable holiday and make memories together.
I love that you hired a boat to explore the broads too.
Sitting watching the river, from the garden on a morning, is my favourite time too. The calm and peace of the river is beautiful.
Thank you also for leaving Vespers so immaculate and tidy. I would welcome you and your family back anytime.

Thank you for your generous review of Vespers.
I am so pleased that you and your family enjoyed your holiday and that fishing from your front garden was achievable as you had wished.
Kind regards Lesley
We recently stayed at Vespers for our mini-moon, and it was absolutely fantastic! The cabin itself is amazing and incredibly well-equipped—Lesley truly has thought of everything you could ever need. Communication with her was seamless and fantastic from start to finish. She even left us a welcome hamper and a lovely card, which was such a thoughtful touch that made our stay feel extra special. The location is simply amazing. My husband spent his time fishing while I loved feeding the wildlife and watching the passing boat traffic. It was the perfect place to totally chill out and decompress after a very hectic few days. We loved it so much that on our very first day, we asked Lesley if we could extend our stay by an extra night. She was incredibly accommodating and let us add it on! We were so sad to leave at the end of our fab 6 days. We will definitely be returning, hopefully with some of our family in tow next time! I cannot recommend Vespers enough! If you are looking for a cosy, lovely, thoughtful, and perfectly positioned cabin getaway, this is your place!
This was our second visit to the cabin, and we wouldn’t hesitate to visit again. Great location, with a trolley provided to help with transporting luggage/supplies to/from the car/shops. Very friendly host. The cabin had everything we needed. Would definitely recommend
Had a wonderful stay at this lovely cabin. Perfect location with amenities close to the property. Very comfortable and clean, and Lesley was the perfect host. Highly recommended.
Fantastic host, so friendly and informative. Made our stay stress free and relaxing. Perfect location and well equipped with everything we needed. We had a wonderful stay and will definitely return!
A deceptively large waterside cabin, in a very peaceful location. We’ve already booked again for next year

Perfectly Peaceful
Only a few minutes walk to the center of Potter Higham, it's perfectly located on the waterfront. We hired a boat and moored it directly outside! We could've sat there for hours watching the world go by.
We will DEFINITELY return, this time with friends. There isn't a single negative about our stay, the cottage/home, the location or anything!

Dear Dan,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience of Vespers and for leaving such a positive review.
It was a pleasure to have you both as my guests and I am truly pleased that your short break was everything you wanted it to be.
I hope to welcome you back to Vespers very soon.
Kindest regards
Lesley
What an amazing place Vespers is. The location is perfect right on the river but close to Potter Heigham. We have a boat and we were able to moor it right outside the property.
Inside the place is very spacious. We particularly enjoyed eating in the separate dining room. The kitchen has everything you could possibly need including glasses for every occasion!!
We would definitely recommend the property if you are wanting to come to Norfolk.

Dear Susan, Thank you for your positive feedback and generous review. I am so pleased that you and your party enjoyed Vespers.
The dining room, with it's views of the river, wildlife and passing boats is certainly a highlight for many guests at Vespers.
I am glad that you appreciated the well stocked kitchen and variety of glasses. I have tried to learn from many years of self-catering and want my guests to have the nearest 'home from home' experience.
Thank you again for chosing Vespers and I am so pleased you enjoyed your stay.

A Tranquil Haven!
What an amazing place. A true home from home. Well equipped, catered for all our family's needs. Such a peaceful location and ideal for some many attractions. I cannot recommend Vespers enough for some genuine rest and relaxation.
Lesley made the booking so easy and was so knowledgeable on the local area too. We have already booked for later in the year.
Thanks for a truly wonderful break Lesley. What a gem you have there in Vespers!

Dear Rachel, Thank you for the lovely and positive review. It was a pleasure to have you and your family stay at Vespers and help you to get the most out of your break. I hope your next stay is equally as enjoyable and please do not hesitate to contact me if you require any further assistance or guidance.
Beautiful location and very easy to find with host's detailed instructions. Nice to have a free parking space. We loved waking up and sitting outside with a coffee in the early morning sun, watching the boats go by and the swans and ducks swimming about. It is SO peaceful, especially at night as there's no traffic (you're not on a road!) and there are no streetlights. Property was beautifully clean and well equipped. Lesley was an attentive and helpful host. It was amazing to see all the seals at Horsey Gap. We hadn't realised there would be quite so many. An incredible sight. We enjoyed walks along the river and across the Fens, went to a big farmers' market nearby and hired a dayboat for some time on the river. Easy walking access from the cabin to shops & food and then just a few miles away, we'd also recommend Hirst's Farm Shop in Ormesby St Margaret.

Thank you for your kind and generous review. I am so pleased you enjoyed your break and the tranquillity of the River Thurne. Watching the river life float by, from the garden or while eating, is one of my favourite pastimes & can be very therapeutic.
The Horsey Gap seals are a true delight to watch and a privilege to be able to step into their world. I am so pleased you went to see them.
I must extend a huge thank you for leaving Vespers so clean and tidy. Your respect and consideration is greatly appreciated.
I would be delighted to welcome you back to Vespers any time.
Thank you.
Lesley.

Perfect property in a prime location.
Vespers was everything we wanted and more. Lesley was the perfect host, answering all of our questions promptly, both before and during our stay.
Vespers was so well equipped, even things we didn't realise we needed were there for our use. The bedding was good quality, and there were plenty of towels of all sizes available. The property was immaculate throughout. There was plenty of outdoor seating with more available from the shed.
We enjoyed our meals, watching the boats go by on the river. The fishing was excellent, catching bream up to 6lb, with the added bonus of a couple of otter sightings. The location was perfect, with it's close proximity to Potter Heigham and all of it's amenities.
We usually try to stay in different accommodation each year, but Vespers ticked so many boxes, we do not feel we can top it, so we are already planning to book again next year.

I truly cannot thank you enough for the immaculate condition in which you left Vespers. It was a pleasure to walk back in to.
Thank you again.
Kind regards,

Fab riverside property sympathetically modernised
I took my two boys (12 and 15) here along with other friends and we had a fantastic time. It was my first time staying in the Norfolk Broads and I wanted something fairly central to the area, with good access to the broads, cafes, pubs and attractions.. this place looked like it had it all and certainly didn't disappoint.
It looks small from the outside, but this property is like a tardis... separate dining/kitchen/lounge rooms... then a further three separate bedrooms (one with a superking sized bed!, one double - might have been a king? and a further twin bedroom!) and a bathroom - actually... no bath, just a modern good-sized shower, toilet and sink... Everyone was very comfortable. It's been tastefully decorated throughout... no particular theme... just really neutral and nicely modernised. The kitchen had most gadgets/crockery/cutlery and implements that you could ask for including a decent sized fridge with a good sized freezer - not the small post box type ones you get in some places...
Sitting outside in the garden watching the world, literally, float, sail and paddle by was superb and so relaxing... but my kids demanded action... so we spent quite a bit of time in the two double (seater) kayaks provided with the property (along with life jackets of all sizes! The owner really had thought of everything!) - you can go off and paddle for hours up and down the river taking in the beautiful scenery... it was absolutely fantastic. At night you can sit and watch a very clear sky too...so serene. There was also a shed at the side with swingball/chairs/fishing rods.. plenty to do!
Check on the map, but this place is close to many of Norfolk's main attractions including Thrigby Hall Wildlife park (great day out and about 20-25 mins away?) and... Lathams, which I think is a bit of a landmark in Norfolk by all accounts... it's a large store selling almost _anything_ that you can imagine and has an on-site bakery! There is a cafe attached... but we found that the Bridgestones cafe closer to the old bridge (about 7 mins walk from Vespers) was soooo much better and with THE best cakes you can imagine.
All in all, I'd highly recommend this holiday property.. it was clearly well looked after and maintained, you'll have a great time. Another bonus is that it has a dedicated private parking space nearby (near to Lathams) and they seemed to be rather sought after... so wherever you book... ensure there is parking.
I'll definintely be going back at some point.

Thank you for taking the time to write such a positive and lovely review. I am truly glad that you and your boys enjoyed your break. Making memories when family is young is so important and it was a pleasure to assist you in finding the right activities for your family to enjoy.
I hope you will consider Vespers again when you next visit the Broads.
