The area :
The Norfolk Broads are a nature lover’s heaven, with vast stretches of waterways and peaceful canals. Look out for the kingfishers which regularly fly along the waterfront and you may even spot the local heron that is on the lookout for titbits! Take in the fabulous birdwatching opportunities at a number of nearby RSPB reserves or spend a day at the fabulous National Trust houses of Felbrigg and Blickling Hall.

Spend your holiday exploring the stunning countryside by boat, by foot or by bike along the Weaver’s Way, a 56 mile trail that winds through the Broads.

Wroxham is often known as the “Capital of the Broads” and is a hive of activity with a multitude of rivercraft and a bustling village centre with independent shops, cafes and tea rooms. Recommended restaurants nearby: Hotel Wroxham, The Lodge on Salhouse Rd, the King's Head Coltishall (pub). There is also local Thai, Indian & Chinese cuisine. For Fish and Chips - Ken's in Hoveton. Plus JR's American Diner & Bowling Alley in nearby north Walsham.

Also, nearby (less than one mile) a private swimming pool for hire see https://www.wroxhampoolhire.com/

Just eight miles away from Wroxham is historic Norwich, famous for its cathedrals, castle and fabulous shopping facilities, whilst a short drive brings you to the North Norfolk coast, with beautiful sandy beaches at Overstrand and Mundesley as well as the popular resort towns of Cromer and Sheringham.

There is also a fantastic new woodland adventure park for children of all ages called Bewilderwood located on the edge of Wroxham.
The area is also excellent for fishing which can be enjoyed from the water’s edge of the property. For those who enjoy golf, the nearest course can be found at Sprowston (6 miles) or the Norwich and Cromer golf course is easily accessible.

Fabulous location
We stayed at Southover for a week in April and had a lovely time. The property is right on the river with plenty of parking and the bonus of a boat which everyone enjoyed. The property is quirky with very uneven floors but is extremely well equipped. The hot water and heating are excellent. If you love boating and wildlife this is the place for you. We hadn't realised from the description that one of the ensuite bedrooms is not in the main house but accessed from the outside deck and is over the boat house. It can be slippery outside when wet so you need to be aware that this room probably wouldn't suit older people. The house is not on the mains sewer and has a septic tank and unfortunately we had a raw sewage incident in one of the showers . Robert is easy to contact and he immediately sent his handy man over to deal with and it was cleaned up in 2 hours. It was however very unpleasant. Overall we really enjoyed our stay and I doubt you will find a better location for large groups.

Lovely getaway on the Broads
The property is spacious and comfortable. We made friends with the three local herons who had various degrees of confidence with humans. The hot tub was lovely to dip in at night. We took the boat out a few times and explored Wroxham Broad. We had a very windy but successful BBQ in the courtyard/front garden. We hired the pool down the road which was well worth it. We went to a lot of the local sights and had a wonderful time. The local council seems to not collect separated domestic recycling so we separated it and put it in street bins which was not particularly inconvenient. The host communicated with us clearly and was friendly and eager to help us.

Great Communal Space
Communal space was excellent with lounge area, dining area and kitchen all open plan which made for a great get together weekend. Bedrooms were okay although firmer mattresses would be an improvement. Heating and hot water was excellent. Kitchen and dining room were extremely well stocked. Did not have warm enough weather to appreciate and rate the outside areas. Communication with host was exemplary.. Beautiful view of water from the lounge area and our resident heron was a nice addition.

Riverside cottage
Quirky and creaky and full of charm. Lovely location within walking distance of Wroxham or a short boat ride, would happily re-visit.

Perfect house
We had a wonderful weekend at this house on a after a very wet week. There was plenty to keep everyone occupied at the house with the games room hot tub and gorgeous view of the river. We had the chance to use the boat which was enjoyed by all with nearby towns and villages to visit. The house had everything needed for our stay and the owner was quick to respond and helpful with requests and questions.

Why they chose this property

A review from a guest who left on 1st July 2019 ....
We have just returned from Southover on the third holiday in a row, the location and the cottage will be hard to beat ( I would challenge anyone to try).
One must also consider the use of the boat, included in the price, if anyone is considering a broads cottage holiday then put Southover at the top of your list.
We have booked again for 2020 and we know we will have another fantastic holiday.
PS Good luck if you try, the dates will go quickly.
