About this property

Waterside holiday cottage in Wroxham with own private mooring and fishing

Wherry Cottage, a riverside cottage perfectly set right on the bank of the River Bure in the heart of Wroxham, capital of the Norfolk Broads National Park. With it's own private mooring, fishing and parking in a secure parking area this 2 bedroom (double and twin) is set in landscaped gardens within a 5 minute walk to the centre of Wroxham with all the amenities of shops, restaurants, riverside pubs and bars. Parking for one car is included, and additional car(s) or trailer at £5 / dav / car if booked in advance directly with the owner. 4 EV charging points available in car park

Enjoying the best position and views of all the Peninsula Cottages, the cottage comprises a living room with 2-seat sofa,-bed, (for that extra one night guest), 2 leather arm-chairs and 32" Freeview TV / DVD. The kitchen is well equipped for self-catering with breakfast bar / diner for 4. The modern white bathroom suite has electric shower over. The very spacious double bedroom has dressing table / stool, wardrobe and 19" TV/DVD. The twin room has 2 full size single beds and 19" TV/DVD. All towels are provided and toilet rolls, soap, and kitchen cloths.
All electric is included and beds made up for your arrival.

Wherry and Albion cottages can be booked individually or together for a larger group or family. They are neighbours in the perfect position within the Peninsula Cottages to enjoy river and garden views from both front and back, and both have views along the river to the iconic Wroxham Bridge. With their own private mooring (45ft x 12ft) right outside the double-glazed French doors you can hire a day or picnic boat for a few days, or even bring your own boat. Wake up to the gentle sound of the river wildlife and enjoy breakfast sitting on your private raised, covered South-East facing private terrace overlooking the river. A sun-trap in the morning and offering shade in the evening. We have just installed (for 2020) a 3m x 2.5m wind out awning to protect you from the rain or Sun while you enjoy a bar-b-q at your own private picnic table, or your bistro table for 2. Take a stroll around the private marina gardens for a drink in the marina's own pub, The Shed (check its seasonal opening time) just across the car park from your cottage. Free parking for 1 car in private parking space behind a secure automatic barrier, and additional free parking for up to 2 more cars by prior arrangement. You can park by a well-lit flat, level covered walkway just a few steps from your front door.

A 5 minute walk around the sightseeing tour boats brings you to Wroxham Bridge, from which you can look back to your cottage across the river. Book your sightseeing boat tour here, or take a day boat for a self-drive trip around Wroxham and Wroxham Broad, or go down river to Horning to stop for a riverside pub lunch or picnic. Stay in Wroxham and visit the many riverside pubs, restaurants and cafes, or pick up a takeaway or visit the local supermarket for your self-catering needs. Roy's supermarket claims to be the "largest village supermarket in the World". Visit the gift and souvenir shops. Go on the Bure Valley Steam Railway for a nostalgic trip to Aylsham. When you've had enough, back to the cottage to sit outside and simply watch the entertainment of all the boats passing by and trying to negotiate the notoriously low bridge. As the evening comes in enjoy the view of the lights on the opposite river bank glistening off the water.

Don't forget, you're home-from-home. So sit back and watch your favourite programmes on your 32' TV / DVD (Freeview). At the end of the day enjoy a nice shower in the recently (2020 season) refurbished bathroom. Albion bathroom was refurbished in Nov 2019 to have a walk-in cubicle shower and new white pedestal basin and w.c. (see photos for how it looks now.). All rooms have thermostatically controlled wall-mounted electric heaters, and living room has a brand new remote controlled thermostatic electric coal-effect fire. All hot water and electric is now included in the price. Beds will be made up with clean linen for your arrival, and each guest is provided with a hand and bath towel.

The cottage is available all year round for family holidays and fishing breaks, and so is also well equipped for the colder winter days. The spacious entrance porch / cloakroom is ideal for storing wet fishing tackle or boating gear.
The cottages are available individually but are ideal to be booked together for a larger family or group up to 8 people, connected only by the outside covered porch between the front doors. This is a unique offering within the Peninsula Cottages Estate. Book a week (7 nights) to get at least a 20% discount on nightly prices. (4 nights minimum)

Great location but a little tired

This cottage is in a fantastic setting but is looking a little tired and in need of a good clean and sort-out! The lounge was cramped as old sofa still in place when new ones bought, and also an additional large leather chair seemed unnecessary and made it even more cramped.

Great location shame about the property 😫

The location of the property is first class although the general appearance & interior leaves a lot to be desired, I don’t think it’s been refurbished since the 70s on the first day my husband sat in one of the chairs & a leg broke, the settee wasn’t comfortable at all as it was a bed settee which was like sitting on the floor! The bed had springs sticking out of it, the plastic bath/shower mat was mouldy, etc etc, this cottage has so much potential but alas the owner isn’t prepared to update the fixtures & fittings, what a shame. All in all we were very disappointed!!

Wroxham is lovely

We loved the location of this cottage and views out of the window. It was also very clean. The biggest disadvantage for us was just that it felt a bit cramped and the downstairs furniture was not comfortable. If you want great views and love fishing this is certainly the cottage for you. If you are that bit older like us we would like bit more comfort.

Wherry cottage hoveton

Superb location. Bog standard inside. Anytime you moved upstairs the upstairs creaked. Including taking a shower it even creaked in the shower. Pet hairballs up the stairs. We had no hot water for the week because we didn't know where or how to turn it on. All this didn't spoil our time there. We had a great week

Lovely cottage on the water

A little bit smaller than expected. it would be a bit of a struggle for four adults. Some reviews say it needs decorating and updating but actually it was probably that the furniture was a bit mismatched, not that it bothered us. Slightly musty in the main bedroom. None of the above spoiled the wonderful time that we had. An easy walk to the town centre, right on the busy river, fishing on the doorstep. We would definately visit again.

What A Waste - Great Location But Let Down By Cleanliness

The property is in prime location in Wroxham but is both dated in need of a thorough deep clean. In spite of Covid, there are still lots of dusty ornaments on display with the potential to house germs. Cushions were soiled. Skirting boards, chair backs. socket outlets and cupboard tops were covered in grime. Outside verandah had not been swept, birds muck could be seen on wooden seats and cobwebs on the ceiling. I contacted the owner who responded by saying that there was not a problem because the previous guests had not complained (shades of Basil Fawlty here). The manager of the cleaning company visited and was sympathetic but advised that the owner would not sanction a full clean and would only pay for a 2 hour turnaround.

Beautiful location but...

Location and proximity to Wroxham amenities are excellent. The cottage itself is a good size but we felt that most of the fixtures, fittings and furnishings were in need of updating/replacing. WiFi is virtually non-existent and the TV is constantly pixellating on certain channels. We didn't like the attitude of the person in charge of the cleaning company who was adamant we couldn't check in until 4.00pm even though the property was ready at 2.15pm.
