Why stay here ...

A small field on the edge of the marshes in the Broads National Park surrounded by wildlife and just a few metres from the river. Ideal for walks, boat trips, bird watching, or just watching the world go by!

The adjoining boatyard has sailing and motor boats for hire to explore the Broads. Your own small boats and inflatables can be launched from the slipway - we have several regulars who bring boats and spend their days exploring the local rivers.

Simple field with no electric but use of the facilites at the adjoining boatyard including water, toilets, showers and toilet disposal point.

Well girls if you want to meet a chap this is the place for you!. You'll find them in the Ladies nicking the toilet paper as theirs had run out. This despite the door code as it had been propped open! Therefore one of our dispensers ran out too,... Show more

We loved it, but it may not be for everyone!

We loved our stay here, it was peaceful, abundant with nature and wildlife, central to wherever we wanted to go, close to the river/dyke, and the owners were kind and helpful. There are no electrics on this site, but what was really helpful was the use of the clean and... Show more

Used to be good but needs bit of TLC...

We have been coming here for many years but our last visit was a disappointment. The field had not been mowed for ages and they have a mole problem causing very uneven and soft ground in some areas, so much so that you're almost guaranteed to get bogged down. We parked... Show more

Peaceful and Scenic

Lovely CL next to the boatyard at the gateway to the broads. Boats can be hired. There is no ehu which wouldn't normally be a problem for us. However our fridge failed on gas which we noticed late Saturday afternoon. They very kindly allowed us to park in the yard... Show more

Right on the Norfolk Broads.

Fantastic views across The Broadland Scene. We hired a half decker sailing yacht for a day. An immaculate boat with great sailing pedigree. Really friendly, helpful folk. The field was at low level with fairly long grass. Not sure what it would be like after a lot of rain.

Great Place to stay, but no hook-up

We only stayed the one night but have a solar panel so the fact there was no hook-up wasn't a problem. Water & waste at the boat yard. Nice local pub & small shop in the village an easy walk. Nice views on the Broads. If in the area would... Show more

Nice Boatyard CL

Great place to stay. Part of an active boatyard specialising in sailing yacht hire. Free public slipway if you take a dinghy with you. Field can be soft after heavy rain. Great walks. Nice village community pub in easy walking distance. Friendly welcome
