If you can’t imagine a holiday without being next to the water, then you don’t have to when you visit the picturesque riverside village of Horning, a place known fondly amongst its locals as ‘The Jewel of the Norfolk Broads’. Offering a range of pubs, cafes, shops and local history, Horning is the perfect place in which to rent your very own holiday cottage and explore some of the area’s outstanding scenery.
Set in the heart of the picture-perfect Norfolk Broads, Horning is renowned for relaxing, unwinding and engaging in a range of chilled-out activities such as fishing, boating, walking and birdwatching. With all these outdoor pursuits just a stone’s throw away from your holiday home, there’s nowhere better to spend priceless magical moments alongside your nearest and dearest. Why not make your break even more spellbinding by taking advantage of some of the property’s most unique features including a roaring open fire, a large wooden dining table, a fully stocked pantry and spacious outdoor patio at the back of the property?
Wanting something more active and family-friendly from your holiday to Horning? As well as cycle tracks and river and coastal walks, you can enjoy some of the village’s top attractions such as Bewilderwood, an adventure park for all ages and the annual Horning Boat Show where you will encounter some of the area’s sea-worthy motors like yachts, motor cruisers and inflatable RIBs, among a plethora of local food and drink stalls. For those who don’t just want to see these beautiful boats but also ride them in the special setting of some of the region’s prettiest countryside, Horning also gives you the chance to take a trip on the Southern Comfort, a Mississippi-style paddle boat that gracefully makes its way along the meandering and free-flowing River Bure. Ay ay Captain!
With all of these activities just a short drive away, you will need somewhere close by in which to put your feet up afterwards. Step forward your cosy sitting room! Providing a place to catch your breath back after a fun-filled day out and about, guests can continue watching their favourite boxset on the widescreen TV or practice their musical talents on the provided top of the range entertainment system. Alternatively, practice your inner painter and be like local artists John Crome or Joseph Stannard when you chill out with your easel, paintbrushes and of course a refreshing glass of wine in the stunning setting of the lush green garden.
If you’re loving the great outdoors that this cottage can provide you and your nearest and dearest, you will also savour the beautiful balcony which showcases the stunning Norfolk Broads in all its glory. A great place in which to read the morning paper, sip your freshly made coffee and reminisce about the most perfect of night’s sleeps in your choice of en suite bedrooms! With a plethora of wondrous waterside attractions like this at your beck and call, Horning is a place that will undoubtedly appeal to all ages and tastes.
