Swan Cottage
Swan Cottage sleeps 6 people in 3 bedrooms. Situated on the riverside, with a private mooring, just off the main River Bure, this modern, comfortably furnished home makes a perfect year round retreat. At the very heart of Broadlands' liveliest village, Swan Cottage is an excellent location for fishing, sailing, cycling, walking and bird watching. The River Bure divides Wroxham and Hoveton, with the two villages commonly called Wroxham, one of the major boat hire centres on the Norfolk Broads. Norwich - 8 miles, for cathedral, castle museum, shopping and theatre. Sandy beaches of the East coast are just 12 miles. The area of Wroxham is actually made up of two villages - Wroxham and Hoveton, split by a low bridge that spans the River Bure. Wroxham is often referred to as the 'Capital of the Norfolk Broads' and is an ideal location to stay at for a variety of reasons: •There are plentiful places to eat and drink locally! •Wroxham boasts Roys store which claims to the "largest village store in the Country". Here you will find all your grocery needs with many products being sourced locally as well as a large department store - plenty of retail opportunities to indulge in and only a 5 minute walk •Within a 15 minute drive you could be at one of the glorious sandy Norfolk beaches or if city life is more your thing, then you could be in historic Norwich with a wealth of shopping opportunities and tourist attractions. •The Broads is well known for its' fishing activity - you should expect to find perch, pike, bream, rudd, eel and tench in the waters here. Fishing (subject to season and licence) can be enjoyed from the decking at all our properties. •We would obviously be remiss if we didn't mention the joy of just being out on the water. Within a couple of minutes walk from each property, it is easy to hire a boat by the hour, half day, day or longer. If you fancy a boat trip but without you being the Captain, there are a number of organised boat trips which leave from the centre of Wroxham or from nearby Horning
