We have stayed at Ferry Cottage on three occasions now and will definitely return. The cottage is ideally situated and is very warm and comfortable even on the coldest days of winter. The wildlife that we see from the front deck is incredible. This along with the peace and quiet make for a very tranquil and relaxing break. The local village has everything that you need and the neighbouring boat hire company will help you get safely out on the water to immerse yourself in the Broads.

A lovely modern holiday cottage, clean and comfortable with everything you will need for a enjoyable holiday, fantastic wildlife viewed from the cottage, kingfishers, mash harriers, herons, otters and on one occasion a grey seal. Would definitely recommend a holiday at Ferry Cottage.
