Sandringham Cottage

Sandringham Cottage is in a near perfect central location on the very banks of the River Bure in Wroxham, the "Capital of the Norfolk Broads", and is an idyllic base for up to four people to relax, unwind and enjoy a riverside break in Norfolk.

The cottage has been fully refitted and now boasts totally redecorated and refurnished bedrooms, bathroom, fully refitted kitchen and flooring throughout.

The cottage will accommodate four guests in one double and one twin bedroom. Both rooms have dual aspect River Bure views. Each bedroom has full height ceilings, ample storage in drawers and a large wardrobe – two towels per guest are provided and beds are made up for your arrival. The bathroom, again with full height throughout, is upstairs and has a bath with shower over, basin and toilet. A wall heater and heated towel rail are also fitted.

Downstairs there is a dual aspect lounge with feature porthole window that looks directly over the River Bure to the Hotel Wroxham so you can watch the activities in the river, whether these be if the wild birds or the various boats and canoes. When sitting on the sofas you can also look downstream over Wroxham Reach, a similar view to the one from standing on Wroxham Bridge. There is a TV with Freeview and a DVD player for entertainment and WiFi connection is available on site.  The kitchen features a built in oven, hob, microwave, fridge freezer and dishwasher so you can concentrate on enjoying your holiday.

Moving outside through the French doors there is a covered south east facing balcony immediately adjacent to the River Bure - an ideal location to sit and enjoy coffee in the morning sun. Your car can be parked off the road close by at the end of the row of cottages in a dedicated space and you can moor your dinghy or dayboat boat on our private mooring that is just outside the cottage if you wish during your stay. Fishing is available in season from the gardens with the appropriate licence and there is a pub garden style picnic bench on the lawns for eating outside in the summer time if you wish

Investment in the building insulation, double glazing and electric heating arrangements mean that the cottage is a cosy proposition for winter breaks and not just a base for those lazy summer days.

Prices are seasonal but vary in 2019 from £365 a week for winter fishing to £995 a week in the peak summer season.  This price includes the cost of electricity used during your stay.

Wroxham is known as "The Capital of the Norfolk Broads". The Broads themselves are a series of man made lakes connected by rivers that provide mile after mile of tranquil waterways that are ideal for fishing, birdwatching, kayaking, sailing and motor boating. For the independent minded day boat or canoe hire canoe are all within an easy five minute walk of your door or for those that just wish to relax take a skippered tour boat!

For those wishing to use the self catering option - provisions can be purchased in the nearby Roy's Food Hall.  For those that wish to eat out our favourite restaurants include The Old Mill for breakfast, Yim Siam Thai restaurant, Wherryman's Restaurant for pizzas, the Hotel Wroxham, The River Kitchen for a light lunch or afternoon tea and The Water Shed, about a one minute walk from the cottage, for a pint of beer in the evening with a game of pool or darts on the Peninsula Marina development.

Further afield are the seaside towns of Cromer, Sheringham, Sea Palling and Great Yarmouth with great sandy beaches. Norwich is about 8 miles away with its cathedral, market, castle, entertainment and shopping opportunities. This can be accessed by bus, train or the Sprowston park and ride as you wish.

There are also a number of attractions for children - Bewilderwood, Wroxham Barns, the Bure Valley Railway and zoos such as Africa Alive. For stately homes lovers there is Blickling Hall, Holkham Hall and of course Sandringham House!
