Charming one bedroomed converted boathouse overlooking Broad, Ranworth.

The Boat House is a unique space which sleeps 2 in one bedroom/sitting room. Fully centrally heated and completely renovated last year, the property has a wonderfully sunny patio where you can relax after a busy day exploring the area. The accommodation comprises of one large room upstairs which has a king size bed with two armchairs and a TV with a large inbuilt desk set under a window which looks out towards the Broad and the moored boats. This is a wonderful space for the budding writer or for enjoying breakfast. The original staircase (fairly steep) leads down to the kitchenette (please note no oven) and wetroom. The wetroom has underfloor heating. There is a pub and a cafe in the village, both 5 minute's walk away which serve lunch and evening meals (only the pub serves the latter). There is also 'Fur and Feather Inn' (own brewery) which serves meals and is just over a mile away. The apartment is dog friendly, we accept one well behaved dog.
HOT TUB RENTAL now available, £85 per break. The tub is cleaned, filled and heated for your arrival

Super location, super boathouse
We loved our stay in the Boathouse. Jane was super helpful. A lovely comfy very clean space with the perfect sun spot outside. Summer house was a lovely touch. Location is very quiet, even in August.

We had a great stay and really enjoyed our break. Hosts were really friendly and on hand when needed. Some great walks for the dog and enjoyed having a local pub within a 5 minute walk. Property is probably best suited for a small / medium sized dog as the steep stairs would be a challenge for a large dog. Would recommend this property location and hosts.

Relaxing
Our overall holiday was lovely. Very peaceful and relaxing. The hot tub and summer house were great and we had brilliant weather. The major issue was the stairs. I don't believe that the property is really dog friendly as they are exceptionally steep with open risers. Our dog was not able to go up and down on it's own and anyone with mobility issues would really struggle. One of the bannisters was also loose. We made the most of the holiday but would not return. I don't feel it is advertised totally truthfully unfortunately, due to the stairs.

A wonderful place to stay with everything you need and more to relax and enjoy the locality.
Jane and John are wonderful hosts and the boathouse is just perfect. From booking, to check in everything was easy and simple. Our stay was fantastic, the location is ideal for a relaxing stay and to explore the Norfolk Broads. Wonderful!

Fantastic location. Beautiful village, great hosts, very relaxing. Everything you needed. Even the weather was great. Stairs were challenging but this was explained in their accomodation details.

Beautiful, soothing and fascinating
The property is gorgeous, had everything I could have asked for. The summer house is beautiful and effectively and extra room allowing me to enjoy the summer evenings even when there was the odd shower. The peace and quiet is exquisite and was so relaxing, I slept for hours. Jane was so helpful and not at all intrusive. My privacy was respected and I was able to enjoy the tranquillity but in the knowledge that assistance would be there if I needed it. Perfect. A fascinating holiday in that the Norfolk Wildlife Trust is just round the corner via a lovely board walk. I went on a number of their boat trips and can highly recommend them, especially the trip to St Benet's Abbey. The Boat House is a wonderful holiday destination, I cannot recommend it highly enough!

Beautiful everything!
I can’t think of anything negative other than the stairs. If you are less than nimble, beware. Everything else was absolutely perfect, we loved it.
