Luxurious accommodation which has been decorated to a very high standard and beautifully furnished. I was particularly impressed with the bed linen which was of beautiful quality.Very convenient for touring round the broads.Only point to note is that, if you have someone with poor eyesight staying with you, care needs to be taken when stepping between some of the rooms. We left lights on in key areas which helped enormously.

My husband and I had a great stay at the Venetian. It's a very opulent property with everything you would need for a comfortable stay. It's been decorated to a very high standard. Horning is a quaint little village with a great fish restaurant, 3 pubs and a couple of places to get a coffee, lunch or cream tea. Would highly recommend the Venetian to anyone.
