About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire cabin to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Well-appointed, spacious 3 bedroom riverside cabin in tranquil Norfolk Broads.

Situated on the North West bank of the River Thurne, Vespers provides the perfect tranquil accommodation to relax and watch the world float, paddle and sail by; study the wildlife or fish from your own front garden. It offers an ideal retreat for families, couples and fishermen alike and is perfectly situated for exploring the beautiful Norfolk Broads. Sit in the arbour with a cup of tea or a G&T while you while away the hours with fabulous views both up and down the river.

A traditionally built, timber-framed cabin that’s been modernised in-keeping with its surroundings, Vespers offers spacious living accommodation including a well equipped kitchen, dining room with open views of the river, comfortable lounge with TV and DVD player and 2 double and one twin bedroom, plus a bathroom with modern electric shower, basin and WC. Free WiFi.

There is one car parking space included for the duration of your stay.

Vespers is a short walk from Potter Heigham Bridge, along a tow-path which takes approx. 6 minutes or a 7/10 minute walk from your designated car parking space.
Vespers is single storey once inside.
Please note Vespers does not have vehicular access. It is reached via foot path or boat only.
Unfortunately the foot path which runs from the car park/bridge to Vespers is not suitable for mobility scooters and may prove challenging to anyone with limited mobility.

Please contact me prior to booking Vespers if you require any further clarification or help.

There are numerous family attractions, beautiful beaches and places of interest all easily accessible from Potter Heigham. Explore the surrounding area by foot, car, bike or boat. You will not be disappointed.

If you wish to take a break from Self-catering there are many lovely cafes, quaint pubs or restaurants close by for you to chose from whether you wish to enjoy a cream tea or a 3 course dinner.

Well behaved pets are welcome with an additional refundable deposit to be paid at the time of booking.

This is a dog friendly holiday home and therefore is unsuitable for anyone who suffers with pet hair allergies. Vespers is cleaned thoroughly in between bookings but I cannot guarantee a pet hair free environment.

WARNING: This property has an open river frontage, please be aware of this with children and vulnerable adults.

This is strictly a NO SMOKING property due to its wooden construction. Smoking is only allowed outside the cabin, away from the property.

Beautiful location and very easy to find with host's detailed instructions. Nice to have a free parking space. We loved waking up and sitting outside with a coffee in the early morning sun, watching the boats go by and the swans and ducks swimming about. It is SO peaceful, especially at night as there's no traffic (you're not on a road!) and there are no streetlights. Property was beautifully clean and well equipped. Lesley was an attentive and helpful host. It was amazing to see all the seals at Horsey Gap. We hadn't realised there would be quite so many. An incredible sight. We enjoyed walks along the river and across the Fens, went to a big farmers' market nearby and hired a dayboat for some time on the river. Easy walking access from the cabin to shops & food and then just a few miles away, we'd also recommend Hirst's Farm Shop in Ormesby St Margaret.

Summer break

What an amazing place Vespers is. The location is perfect right on the river but close to Potter Heigham. We have a boat and we were able to moor it right outside the property. Inside the place is very spacious. We particularly enjoyed eating in the separate dining room. The kitchen has everything you could possibly need including glasses for every occasion!! We would definitely recommend the property if you are wanting to come to Norfolk.

Fabulous homely accomodation

A lovely comfortable homely property, with plenty of space that provided everything we needed for a much needed break. In a perfect spot on the riverbank, it is much bigger than it looks from the photo. Very quiet and peaceful at night, the river comes alive during the day. There is a large shop, a pub and cafe within walking distance and also boats for hire. The owner was friendly and helpful and I would highly recommend staying there.

Peaceful river retreat

We enjoyed a lovely week. The property is located right on the river bank and was perfect for exploring the area and sitting relaxing and watching the world float by! The property is only a short walk from Potter Heigham which has a few shops, pub, chippy and boat hire, nice friendly locals. Cabin is well maintained and very comfortable, had everything we needed. Many thanks!

cozy cabin on the water, wonderful location, welcoming host

Vespers is a big but cozy waterside cabin, and was perfect for a short break but we wish that we could have stayed longer. We were with 3 adults but it would suit a bigger group too as the cabin is nice and big. The setting is lovely and Boris the border terrier enjoyed his viewing window watching the boats and wildlife go past and long beachy walks not far away. The setting is just gorgeous and peaceful but quaint shops and eating places just a few minutes walk away. We also enjoyed the hustle and bustle of the boatyard nearby. Lesley is a lovely host and the cabin is very well stocked , everything is there that you could possibly need! She also left us a welcoming basket with goodies , such a nice touch and much appreciated. We would love to return one day and highly recommend Vespers!

Lovely riverside place to relax and experience Norfolk

My wife & I were looking for a place to relax and get away from the world but also with access to food/pubs, walking, cycling, coast and the river . Vesper's ticked all the boxes. It's a lovely, beautifully appointed property right on the river where you can chill and watch the boats in the day and wildlife in the evening. Everything you need comes with the property so it is easy to wind down as soon as you get there. Vespers has direct access to lovely riverside walking and plenty of quiet country lanes to cycle on. There's plenty of country pubs in easy reach for food and drink and the coast is a short drive away plus there's plenty of places to hire a boat for a day on the river locally. We will definitely return to Vespers when we want another relaxing holiday on The Broads.
