"This is our second time here, and again we had a relaxing and enjoyable holiday. The cottage is clean and very well equipped and the welcome pack and fruit bowl are a lovely touch. We always enjoy the use of the boats to meander up and down the river. Such a great location."
"We have had another lovely stay in Boathouse Cottage. It is very comfortable and clean and has everything that is required for a good self catering holiday. The goodie basket and fruit bowl was very much appreciated. We’ll be back in the future!"
"Thank you for another wonderful stay. The cottage is lovely and so clean. We loved the welcome hamper and fruit bowl. We thoroughly enjoyed all the days out on the boats."

"Thank you for a great stay. Accommodation is certainly 5 star. It’s the small details that make it so good. A lot of thought has gone into every room and it shows. Thank you and see you again."
"This was our second holiday in Boathouse Cottage and we enjoyed it just as much as the first time. It’s so peaceful and relaxing being near the water. The cottage is comfortable and a real home from home and it’s been lovely to have a break after a terrible 18 months. Highly recommended."
"Perfect place to get away from it all and explore the Norfolk coast and Broads. Also within easy reach of Norwich. Owners always helpful and friendly and we appreciated the flowers and welcome pack. This is our second visit and we love it."
"Thank you for a fantastic holiday. We cannot fault the accommodation or location. We will definitely be coming back again. It was really (covid) clean throughout and every room had everything we needed and of good quality. The welcome basket and fruit was a lovely touch. 10 / 10"
"We stay in a lot of self-catering cottages and this one is fully deserving of the 5-star rating. Clean, warm, comfortable and all the comforts of home. A warm welcome from Alice with nothing too much trouble. Many thanks for a perfect week's break!"
"Once again we had an amazing time at the Boathouse Cottage. Thanks go to Alice and Ollie for making us feel so welcome and providing us with everything we could possibly need (the flowers and extra goodies were a lovely touch!). We will definitely be back - who wouldn’t want to stay in this perfect place!"
"Our second stay at this wonderful cottage. We had beautiful weather so enjoyed the canoe, fishing and decking to the full! See you next year!"
"This holiday accommodation is, without doubt, worthy of it’s 5 star rating. Having everything to ease you into a great holiday experience. From a warm welcome, to the most comfortable of homes with every modern convenience, to it’s perfect situation set around the scenic marina; it has provided us with a most enjoyable and happy holiday. Thanks again for the surprise of hamper, fruit bowl and flowers, which were delightful."
"We have really enjoyed our week at The Boathouse Cottage - the accommodation is to an excellent standard, both in terms of furnishings and cleanliness. The Canadian Canoe was an added bonus - we had great fun exploring the River Ant. The Dilham mooring is very well placed for both the Cross Keys and The Crown local pubs. The cottage is very well placed to explore both The Broads and North Norfolk. The Blickling Estate is worth exploring. Very handy to have a Waitrose nearby at North Walsham. We look forward to returning."
"What an amazing place to stay! Perfect location. Beautiful cottage with everything you need for the most relaxing holiday. Our host was amazing, very helpful and informative. We will be back!"
"We have just had a really lovely restful week here at this beautiful cottage. On arrival we were greeted by Alice who gave us a really warm welcome. She insisted that we go and have a look round the property, which was nice of her as we all have to social distance at the moment. Alice was always on hand when we needed her. Many thanks Alice, (the goodies were lovely). The property is very clean and comfortable, we would recommend this cottage to anyone who wants the comfort of home. The kitchen is amazing, it has everything you need. The bedrooms are very cosy and the beds very comfortable. The family bathroom and en-suite’s are very spacious."
"A lovely, well maintained cottage with everything you need to have a relaxing holiday. Alice was very welcoming and left a lovely welcome pack and fantastic fruit bowl for our arrival. Would definitely recommend - highly!"
"We have had a great half-term break in their delightful and very well furnished cottage. It has all the facilities we needed with a lovely bathroom and en-suite and is also well located for the many broads and seaside attractions which we enjoyed."
