Guests say
The Wherry Arch in Norwich is a charming cottage praised for its spotless condition and stunning wildlife-rich garden. Guests enjoy the peaceful location directly on the broads, ideal for quiet getaways and nature photography. While the central heating may take time to warm up, the cottage's unique character and helpful owner contribute to a highly recommended stay.
The cottage is consistently described as spotlessly clean, indicating a high standard of cleanliness maintained by the owner.
The property's location is highly appreciated for its proximity to shops, direct access to the broads, and the abundance of wildlife, making it a perfect spot for a peaceful retreat.
The cottage offers a comfortable stay, though there is a mention of the central heating being slow, which suggests a slight compromise on immediate comfort during colder days.
Facilities are adequate with everything needed for a stay; however, a guest mentioned that the property could benefit from some updating.
There is no mention of gifts or special attention to guest needs beyond the provision of facilities and the natural setting, so it is not possible to assess thoughtfulness.

A lovely cottage run by a lovely lady. Yes it could do either updating but it is clean and has everything you need. The bonus is the garden especially if your into wildlife.Got up early and 2 muntjac deer were in the garden. Kingfisher regularly flew through and saw green woodpecker as well.Pub up the road does fantastic food.
