Riverside village cottage in the heart of the Norfolk Broads

Seymour Cottage is a cosy Victorian cottage centrally located in the picturesque Norfolk Broads village of Horning and is just across the road from the river. Features include entrance hall, bathroom, open plan lounge/kitchen, 2 double bedrooms, TV, CD Player, DVD player, electric storage heating, front courtyard garden, secluded upstairs patio, use of small private staithe on the river, private car parking. COTTAGE SWAPS CONSIDERED.


What can I do here?: The three main attractions are the Norfolk Broads (rivers and lakes) with rural countryside, the historic cathedral city of Norwich and the wonderful sandy Norfolk Coastline including the bustling seaside resorts of Cromer and Great Yarmouth. All this is less than 30 minutes drive from the cottage.

What are the Norfolk Broads?: The Norfolk Broads are a unique combination of slow meandering rivers with beautiful lakes (locally known as Broads). The river banks include thatched cottages with immaculate lawns (and gardens), reed beds (used for roof thatching) and many pretty staithes (a local word for a place to moor your boat). The best way to enjoy this wonderful National Park is either on-foot or by boat. Boats can be either hired (by the hour or day) or take an organised trip - Norfolk boats are either motor cruisers or traditional wooden sailing yachts.

Happy Holiday in Horning
Lovely cottage which met our every need. Clean, well equipped and comfortable both upstairs and downstairs. Ideally placed to visit Morfolk which we did from Hunstanton to Great Yarmoith, taking in Cromer and Sheringham.

Lovely little cottage situated close to the river in a very central location. The village shop, 2 pubs, cafe, chinese takeaway & a restaurant are all within a 2-3 minute walk. The only negative... there is no loo upstairs !

Perfect location
This cottage is really cute, comfortable and perfectly located in the village of Horning. It's very near a nice pub, but no noise could be heard from the pub. The cottage is very well equipped and the wifi works perfectly! The Smart TV was also very appreciated. The village is really charming, has everything you need and it's great fun watching the boats on the beautiful river Bure. The little village shop, a cafe, a Chinese take away, restaurants and three pubs are all within walking distance. We very much enjoyed our visit here and would recommend this cottage to anyone planing a visit to the Norfolk Broads and surrounding area.

Comfy and cosy cottage
We love the Norfolk Broads and have already had a boating holiday this year so fancied something different. So we booked Seymour Cottage. Its a lovely cosy little cottage with everything you could possibly want or need. It doesn't have a riverside view but is straight opposite the pub which is on the river. Fabulous stay and would recommend.

Excellent location spoilt by poor attention to the kitchen and bathroom equipment.
We were NOT impressed with the lack of checking that all equipment worked. Fridge damaged..Micro-wave not working. Batteries "flat" in remote controls. Window loose on its hinges etc.

Delightful stay in Seymour Cottage, Horning
Seymour Cottage has a lovely cosy feel. It is in beautiful condition and is well appointed. Also, our bed was very comfortable. The central position in Horning puts it within very short walking distance (5 minutes or so) of two great pub/resteraunts and a couple of lovely cafes. We really enjoyed our stay.

The cottage had everything we needed for a short stay. Clean, well equipped and in a fabulous location. Horning has everything, riverside pubs, restaurants and lots of other shops. So, even though it has everything it is still a nice quiet small village.

Nice central location but no washing machine or freezer..Due to open plan design.
Cottage was nice,but would have liked a nicer outlook than facing a boat yard Was all I could get at short notice due to my previous chosen cottage being sold by owner.Had a lovely holiday though.

Stay at Seymour Cottage
We had a very comfortable stay at Seymour Cottage. The cottage had everything we could possibly want and was spotlessly clean. The information Ruth sent us was very helpful and it was so nice to have information on trips out and where to eat. We would definitely recommend Seymour Cottage to friends.

... as a base when visiting family nearby over our Christmas break. Despite the dreary December weather, the cottage was warm and welcoming and had everything we required. Ruth provided us with lots of useful information and was available if we had any problems (we didn't).

Great location
Lovely little cottage located in Central Horning. Parked a large van just fine on the driveway and enjoyed a relaxed weekend fishing and exploring the broads by boat. Only downside is setting the smoke alarm off in the main living area whenever oven was turned on! All in all a lovely weekend using this little cottage as a great base!

A characterful cottage in the centre of Horning
A cosy cottage in the centre of Horning, ideally located for touring the Broads and the beautiful countryside of Norfolk. Well equipped with all the basics needed for a couples stay. Parking is a little tight but once you get used to reversing in it does work.
