About this property

Riverside Holiday Cottage Nr The Iconic Wroxham Bridge. 2-Bedroom Pet-Friendly

Star Cottage is a 2-bedroom (sleeps 4) riverside holiday cottage in the village of Wroxham, in the heart of the Norfolk Broads. The cottage is close to the famous and iconic Wroxham Bridge and has the great benefit of being on the downstream side of the bridge where all the activity takes place! Star Cottage guests can relax in the lounge or on their private patio while watching the ever-changing scenery of wildlife and boating activities taking place on the river before them.

Guests may fish directly from the cottage lawns (in season only), and many other activities such as cycling, canoeing, walking and horse-riding are available very close by - as are a range of pubs, cafes, restaurants and local shopping in Wroxham village centre, which is only a short walk away. The cottage has it’s own private parking but since Wroxham village has a railway station and excellent bus services, so you can easily holiday at Star Cottage without needing a car at all if required.

So, whether you are looking for an energetic holiday or a relaxing one, Star Cottage is the ideal location. And don’t forget that Wroxham is within easy exploring distance of the Norfolk coast, much beautiful countryside and quaint local villages – or even city-centre shopping in Norwich.

The cottage itself sleeps up to four guests in two comfortable bedrooms, one double and one twin. The whole property has been progressively re-decorated to a high standard by the current owners.

On the ground floor the cottage has an entrance hall with storage and cloakroom, with a large open-plan lounge, dining and kitchen area making-up the rest of the ground floor, with French doors leading out onto a small private patio, complete with garden furniture.

Upstairs is a family bathroom including full-size bath with electric shower over. The main double bedroom has views across the river, and includes a dressing table, built-in wardrobe and room for a travel cot if required. The main bedroom also includes a television for those late-night movies!

The smaller twin bedroom also benefits from a built-in wardrobe, and linen and duvets for all beds is included, with beds made-up for your arrival.

Star Cottage may be booked for either full weeks or short breaks lasting 3 or 4 days. In either case a variety of start and end dates are available, subject to any existing bookings – if you have any non-standard requirements please get in touch and we will try very hard to accommodate your needs.

Well-behaved pets are welcome at Star Cottage, and please note that electricity is INCLUDED in the price – no nasty extra bills!. Towels (2 per guest) are provided, and the cottage has it's own broadband Wi-Fi service

Perfect location
Great location, walking distance to everything and perfect to watch the boats. Ideal short stay. The only downside was the double mattress was extremely uncomfortable like lying on concrete.

About the host

Hosted by Owner/Property Manager

Host profile image
I'm Jeremy, the owner of Star Cottage. My family are Norfolk born-and-bred and for many years we had a cruiser on the Broads so I know the area very well. I'm now actually based in Derbyshire but bought the cottage back in 2008 and we use it both for our own holidays and for renting-out to guests, many of whom return year after year. We look forward to welcoming you to Star Cottage for your own holidays!

Why they chose this property

When I was looking for a waterside cottage to buy on the Broads I specifically wanted one that looked out on the the main river and that had plenty of 'passing traffic'. An awful lot of waterside properties in the area are actually located on backwaters and tributaries where nothing happens from one week to the next, or sometimes on the 'wrong side' of a low bridge that few boats can get through. Star Cottage is exactly the opposite and looks out onto the river in the centre of Wroxham (the 'Capital of the Broads') where there is always something going-on and something to watch - whether that be natural activity (lots of ducks, swans and sometimes herons), or boats passing of every size and type.
