Seymour Cottage Summa
Summary: Welcome to our beautifully restored, cozy two-bedroom Victorian cottage, nestled in the picturesque and peaceful village of Horning—one of the most sought-after locations in the Norfolk Broads. With delightful views of the river and a warm, welcoming atmosphere, this is the perfect retreat for couples, small families, or friends looking to relax and explore. The cottage offers a blend of traditional charm and modern comfort, featuring a well-equipped kitchen, a stylish yet comfortable living area, and two thoughtfully decorated bedrooms. Situated just a stone’s throw from the river, you’ll be within easy walking distance of three friendly pubs, excellent restaurants, charming cafes, and scenic river trips. The award-winning family attraction BeWILDerwood is nearby, offering magical treetop adventures for younger visitors.
From grand historic houses and lush gardens to wildlife parks and traditional seaside amusements, Norfolk offers something for everyone—without the hustle and bustle of the usual tourist spots.
The Space: Downstairs is a hallway leading to an open plan kitchen, dining and lounge area and also to the bathroom. Upstairs are two double bedrooms each with a double bed. The front bedroom has views of the river and beautiful sunsets. There is a patio off of the back bedroom which is a lovely secluded suntrap with a dining table and chairs. The perfect place for a sun downer! Outside is a courtyard for off road parking for 1 car.

Getting Around: The cottage sits in a beautifully tranquil yet well-connected part of Norfolk. Within Horning, you have everyday conveniences, scenic charm, and community spirit.

Lovely holiday generally very clean and neat and tidy.
Cushions/pillows could do with a change as they are bit old/stained but generally the cottage and location were lovely and i would definitley stay again
Cottage is in an excellent location, opposite the river and the New Inn pub which serves very good food.Two minutes walk to village centre and local shops,cafes, restaurant and another pub.
The cottage was lovely, very comfortable and very well equipped with everything you would need.We will definitely stay here again
Lovely cottage which met our every need. Clean, well equipped and comfortable both upstairs and downstairs. Ideally placed to visit Morfolk which we did from Hunstanton to Great Yarmoith, taking in Cromer and Sheringham.
Seymour cottage was so much nicer than we thought it would be. Super cozy and warm. It was perfect for our 4 night break seeing family at Christmas.
Very clean. Very well equipped. Just right.

Cottage was nice needs a spring clean lots of cobwebs checking in a 4pm was a bit late u lose a whole day
Lovely little cottage situated close to the river in a very central location. The village shop, 2 pubs, cafe, chinese takeaway & a restaurant are all within a 2-3 minute walk. The only negative... there is no loo upstairs !
This cottage is really cute, comfortable and perfectly located in the village of Horning. It's very near a nice pub, but no noise could be heard from the pub.
The cottage is very well equipped and the wifi works perfectly! The Smart TV was also very appreciated.
The village is really charming, has everything you need and it's great fun watching the boats on the beautiful river Bure. The little village shop, a cafe, a Chinese take away, restaurants and three pubs are all within walking distance.
We very much enjoyed our visit here and would recommend this cottage to anyone planing a visit to the Norfolk Broads and surrounding area.
A beautiful cottage, fabulous location in Horning, and incredibly well kitted out with everything we could possibly require. It's an ideal location for kayaking on the Broads and visiting friends in Norwich. The decoration is lovely, and communication with the property manager was speedy and very friendly. We will certainly book this cottage again, and are very happy to recommend it.
Seymour Cottage has a lovely cosy feel. It is in beautiful condition and is well appointed. Also, our bed was very comfortable.
The central position in Horning puts it within very short walking distance (5 minutes or so) of two great pub/resteraunts and a couple of lovely cafes.
We really enjoyed our stay.
Lovely clean property, living room would be cosy for 4 people. Well equipped kitchen. Only drawback is parking space which is small for larger cars and with poor visibility of road. Also workers of boatyard park opposite the driveway so unable to reverse into the driveway if you come back to the cottage during work hours.
The process was efficient and the host sent lots of useful information. The little upstairs courtyard was great for morning coffee and the cottage is very well situated. It is thoughtfully equipped, cosy and comfortable. We had a good time!
We love the Norfolk Broads and have already had a boating holiday this year so fancied something different. So we booked Seymour Cottage. Its a lovely cosy little cottage with everything you could possibly want or need. It doesn't have a riverside view but is straight opposite the pub which is on the river. Fabulous stay and would recommend.

Well appointed in limited space
We enjoyed a stay in perfect weather
Good position near to waterfront and excellent eateries
Cottage itself has limited views and is a bit dark but it was spotlessly clean and comfortable
Horning is a well placed village for visiting the area
Managing the rubbish and recycling was a problem - not sure about what we were meant to do
Also internet access and tv reception spasmodic but we were on holiday so it wasn’t that important
Enjoyed our stay
