And thank you so much for the hamper you left for us when we arrived.We loved day boat that you get with the house to use and we went out on it every day.We will definitely be booking to come back and would definitely recommend to family and friends.

We have had the most wonderful break at Waterside!Lovely comfortable accommodation and many amenities within a short walk. Although very close to Wroxham centre the cottage itself was very quiet and tranquil. Having our own day boat was an extra bonus and we spent most days meandering the river and spotting wildlife, I was delighted to spot some Kingfishers and making the most of the very hospitable river side pubs! We didn’t use our car once! We also had some glorious autumn weather!We had a small problem starting the boat one morning (our fault!) however Leon was on hand in minutes to get us on our way!Will be back very soon!
