Quayside Lodge

This main river location provides the perfect setting for relaxing and watching the world go by in boats.

Quayside Lodge sits in an enviable position on the banks of the main River Bure in Horning on the Norfolk Broads. Looking upstream, to the right, are stunning views of traditional properties on a large sweeping corner of the river. To your left the river disappears into the distance downstream. The far side river bank is overgrown with beautiful trees providing a natural habitat for many birds and small animals. Many different types of watercraft can be seen passing here. Expect to see beautifully preserved wooden yachts meandering past, the occasional traditional broads wherry, and motor boats taking a Sunday style cruise.

Inside this discreetly wheelchair accessible holiday home, you will find a living area with comfortable armchairs behind large panes of glass overlooking the lawn and impressive views of the river in all directions.

This semi-detached holiday cottage shares a 23m (75ft) lawn area with two properties to one side with markers on the lawn indicating a soft boundary that you and your neighbours are expected to observe. Two, small, hard standing areas are positioned at the water's edge for fishing activities. An inlet from the river is located immediately to the right with limited space providing a small day-boat mooring (advance permission required). Here you will also find a larger boat moored - owned by the retired owner of this business, who is seen occasionally, and may also briefly socialise with you in passing. A site manager, for this and five neighbouring holiday cottages, is in regular attendance nearby should you need to make a maintenance request or information about the locality.

Pets

Regrettably we cannot accept pets under any circumstances. Our outdoor grounds open plan format prevents the necessary segregation from neighbouring properties and so requests for exceptions are always denied.
