Still Waters is a cottage with a fantastic location, offering a peaceful environment and a day boat that guests consistently enjoy. The property provides ample parking, comfortable beds, and is appreciated for its wildlife and scenic river views. While the accommodation is spacious and well-equipped, some guests have noted that it requires refurbishment and better maintenance.
Guests have reported issues with cleanliness, such as dirty scatter cushions and mould in showers, indicating a need for more thorough cleaning.
The location is highly praised for its tranquillity, river views, and wildlife, making it a standout feature of the property.
While the beds and outdoor space are appreciated, complaints about worn furniture and the need for air conditioning in front bedrooms suggest mixed comfort levels.
Facilities such as the day boat are a highlight, but numerous reports of maintenance issues, including leaks and broken appliances, detract significantly from the overall experience.
There is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the hosts, so this category cannot be scored.
With its own private mooring and use of a motor launch, this is the perfect base from which to explore the Norfolk Broads..

Enjoying a delightful waterside position, with a private mooring and its own day launch for guests, Still Waters is a spacious detached property which has been refurbished to the highest standards, providing ideal holiday accommodation for any time of the year. A lawned garden leads to the river’s edge and the mooring, with an 8-seater private motor launch to help guests explore the popular waterways and the pretty Broads’ villages, available by prior arrangement with the owner at an additional charge (fuel available locally). The garden is the perfect location for relaxation and watching the boating activity – having its own water frontage means that fishing is literally on the doorstep (seasonal and licenced).
The property is situated just minutes from the heart of Wroxham which is known as the Capital of the Broads, with its waterside restaurants, pubs, cafes and shops. Sailing, walking, nature trails, bicycle hire and golf are available locally. The coast with its sandy beaches is only 12 miles and visitors can experience the delights of the attractive coastal villages. Alternatively spend a day in the fine city of Norwich which is only 8 miles away with its cathedrals, museums, theatre and vast array of cafes and shops. National Trust properties well worth visiting are Felbrigg hall and Blickling Hall. Shops 750 yards, pub 1 mile.

The location of this house was stunning - on the river. Super quiet. Ducks/birds in the garden. Warm and clean. Plenty of parking. We loved the dayboat which made our weekend really special. Thank you
