"Wonderful cottage, lots of space, home from home.  Everything you need, lovely area.  Ruby, Tara and Lexi the dogs loved the garden."
A guest book comment from September 2011

See what other lovely things our guests have said about Red Roofs by looking in our Guestbook.

Red Roofs is a wonderful, spacious and rambling family home in a beautiful and peaceful location with superb views across Hickling Broad. Full of an intriguing and eclectic mix of old and new furniture and fittings, the rooms are all spacious, light and airy and can very easily accommodate 8 guests. The house is detached with a large, dog proof back garden, all grass! Access is from a private and very quiet track, just across which is Hickling Broad.

Both village pubs, The Pleasure Boat and The Greyhound, are within easy walking distance and are dog friendly!

There is a 12ft rowing dinghy available to guests in the summer, moored at the Staithe just opposite the house. Real Swallows and Amazons stuff! Guests are welcome to bring their own boats by arrangement. The whole area is rural and peaceful and ideal for walking, birdwatching, windsurfing and sailing. Within 4 miles there are some lovely sandy beaches, most of which are dog friendly and quiet all year round.

Older people and dogs will find it easy to holiday at Red Roofs, the majority of rooms are on the ground floor and it isn't far to potter out into the garden or down to the water's edge.
