General

Yare Cottage is a cosy 3 bedroom holiday cottage situated by the water's edge on the River Bure in the popular village of Wroxham, the renowned 'Capital of the Broads'. Ideally situated in the Peninsula development, relax and unwind watching the boats pass by or enjoy some fishing from the quay in front of the property.

This lovely self-catering cottage has two double bedrooms and one twin bedroom. Ideal for family groups, couples or anglers. On the ground floor there is an open plan living, dining and kitchen area with French doors opening onto a furnished decking area. Take advantage of your own private fishing spot at the quay in front of the cottage. Fishing is also possible on the other publicly accessible areas of the Peninsula site. The property provides views of the marina so this is also the perfect spot to enjoy the views and watch the world float by.

Please note the boat and moorings are not for guest use.

A 5 minute walk will bring you into the hustle and bustle of Wroxham village where you will find a variety of shops, restaurants and pubs to explore. There is a reasonable sized supermarket if you need to pick up any supplies. Whilst in the village perhaps enquire about hiring a day boat and get out and explore the various river navigations, enjoy the abundant wildlife, or stop by a riverside pub for a leisurely lunch. Wroxham Barns is a shopping and leisure complex with various activities throughout the year. Belwilderwood at Horning offers a fun day out for young children and the Bure Valley Steam Railway is a must for any railway enthusiast. Further afield, perhaps take the 20 minute train journey from Wroxham into the medieval city of Norwich or head to the Norfolk coast for a stroll along the beach and view the seals and their pups at Horsey. Return to your accommodation after a busy day and dine al fresco on your decking whilst enjoying your riverside views.

If booking within 8 weeks of your holiday start date, full payment will be required at the time of booking. In either case, your booking is not confirmed until either your deposit or full payment has been received and your booking has been confirmed in writing to you by the Owners of Yare Cottage.

On receipt of your booking deposit (or full payment if within 8 weeks of the start date of your holiday), a contract of hire will exist between you (hereafter referred to as 'the Hirer') and the owner of Yare Cottage. The maximum occupancy as advised by the Hirer must not be exceeded under any circumstances without prior written agreement by the owners and receipt of any additional monies where the small party discount no longer applies. At no time must the occupancy of the cottage exceed 6 guests.

2. Minimum Age of Hirer & Single Sex parties

We welcome couples, families and groups of friends but regret that we are unable to accept stag, hen or celebratory party bookings for more than 4 guests where your party is all male, all female or young groups of four or more friends where the age of the hirer (who must also be a guest) is less than 25.
