Just spent the best week at Rainbows end. Myself, the hubby and our Beau the bichon. Fab, comfortable, clean accommodation in the most beautiful setting on the river. Fishing from the property and a good friendly pub serving food and local train station less than 5 minutes walk from Rainbows end. Best Chinese takeaway we have enjoyed for a long time in the village. As for the owners Hilda and Ivan, what a pleasure it was to meet them both. Fab couple with a great sense of humour. Thanks guys 😘. Will we be returning to Rainbows end?........ Oh yes!!

Fabulous week at Rainbow,s End. Cottage is clean with everything thing you need to have a comfortable short or weeks stay. Bed is very comfortable & views of river are lovely. Hilda and Ivan are lovely people who go out of their way to ensure you enjoy your stay. We had good weather whilst on our stay which made sitting out watching life on the river was super relaxing. If like myself you enjoy fishing and being on the water Rainbows End won’t disappoint as have your own access to river. Locally there are shops and a good pub a 2 minute walk away, it is good location for exploring the broads. Would definitely return.
