Short break in Norfolk
We stayed at the Peninsula Cottages in Wroxham for 4 nights for the bargain sum of about £250. I booked the smallest unit which is a 2 bedroom house sleeping up to 4 people, and we were really lucky with the house which we were allocated. It certainly wasn't the best furnished, but we had the best position. The site is also exceptionally well managed, and they stored our bikes safely away for us.
Peninsula cottages are as central as you can expect to be in the lovely town of Wroxham. It is a short 5 minute stroll from the town centre, and the cottages are river front so you can enjoy lovely views. Our cottage was by far the best located and we enjoyed river views from every window. In addition to that, we were only about 10 foot from the river and the sun warmed our patio every morning. Perfect location for that early morning coffee!
Why Wroxham? Well it is only a 2 hour drive from home so location wise, it is very convenient. We had visited Bewilderwood before and my daughter wanted to go back. We also planned to do some cycling and take a trip on the Broads. Simple family fun.
We met up with some friends for the day and enjoyed a day out at Bewilderwood which is great outdoors fun. We went to Blickling Hall with the bikes on the back of the car, and had fun cycling about. There are some amazing trees in the huge park there so we played at dens! We took one of the boat trips on the Broads and enjoyed watching out for wildlife. We also spent a morning visiting friends in the lovely town of Aylsham
And that was the short break gone!
Was it worth it? For sure it was and I am not sure we would have spent any less money had we stayed at home. Lily loved the adventure of staying in a holiday home and we had some great laughs. We were also reasonably lucky with the weather too.
This is the second time we have done a holiday home through Hoseasons and we have enjoyed it both times.
I am looking forward to our next UK adventure!
