Horning is a picturesque Broadland village just a short walk from the cottage, offering a selection of riverside pubs, restaurants, cafés, tea rooms, and independent shops.
One of the best ways to experience the Norfolk Broads is by boat. Daily boat hire and river trips are available from the village, allowing you to explore the waterways, admire the beautiful scenery, and spot local wildlife. During the summer months, Horning hosts a variety of boating events, including traditional boat races and its popular annual regatta.
Fishing enthusiasts will enjoy the area's excellent pike fishing, particularly between November and January when there is less activity on the water.
For those looking for a more active getaway, the local marina and leisure facilities offer a range of water sports, while scenic walking and cycling routes lead through the village, surrounding countryside, and nearby nature reserves.
Families will find plenty to enjoy nearby, including BeWILDerwood (1 mile), an outdoor tree-top adventure park, Wroxham Barns (4.5 miles), and ROARR! Dinosaur Adventure at Lenwade (18 miles).
Just 3.7 miles away, Wroxham—often known as the "Capital of the Broads"—offers a wider selection of waterside cafés, restaurants, pubs, and shops. It also has a railway station with services to Norwich and the coast, as well as the Bure Valley Railway, a heritage steam railway running between Wroxham and Aylsham.
The beautiful Norfolk coastline and its sandy beaches are within 12 miles, while the historic city of Norwich is approximately 11 miles away, offering a wealth of attractions including its cathedral, museums, theatres, cafés, restaurants, and shops.
Several National Trust properties, including Felbrigg Hall, Blickling Hall, and Horsey Windpump, are all within easy reach. Sailing and cycle hire are available locally, while the nearest shop, pub, and restaurants are approximately 400 yards from the cottage.

Great location, comfortable cottage, didnt use the hottub but didnt look very inviting, lot of wasps in the garden..would have been nice to have garden furniture rather than using the conservatory tables & chairs.otherwise well equipped had everything we needed.Enjoyed our stay & would look to return.Weather was great !
Perfect location, hot tub was a treat, especially as the weather was bad. The cupboards were bare, a few condiments would be good. Comfortable enough for a 3 night break.
Super quaint cottage with everything you need for your holiday in Norfolk county. Could not have picked a more picturesque site in The Broads with view of River Bure! Highly recommend.
Had a lovely 3 night break at this property. It’s nice and spacious with comfortable beds and extremely clean. Everything necessary for self catering is there and I would thoroughly recommend it. The shower has great water pressure too (this is important to me!) Within a stones throw of a couple of pubs which both have lovely gardens on the water and serve food all day. Jump in the car and the local area has plenty to offer too. We had our dog with us and he loved the walks - no need for a car as you’re just a few minutes from village to fields. As I said, I can thoroughly recommend Morea.

Liked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy
Disliked: Communication
Appealing… but had problems
Horning is a great town to stay in and the property itself was fine. We did have issues with trying to communicate with the managers. Upon arrival there was a large dead probably a hawk outside the conservatory door. We reported this immediately as there has been an outbreak of avian flu in the district. Nothing was done about this until three days later! The front door is very tricky to open and gets stuck. Could not use alternate door due to dead bird. The coffee machine water well leaks. These have apparently been reported to management previously but left unfixed. There was no instructions on how to use the heating and our enquiry about this remains unanswered. All in all our stay was ok but could have been better. I probably would not recommend this property but do stay in Horning!
