Kingfisher Lure, at the very heart of Broadlands' liveliest village, is an excellent location for fishing, sailing and bird watching. The River Bure divides Wroxham and Hoveton, with the two villages commonly called Wroxham, one of the major boat hire centres on the Norfolk Broads.

Wroxham has become known as the capital of the Norfolk Broads, and is where boating holidays started in the late 1800's. It has become quite popular over the years with hotels, tea rooms and gift shops springing up near the river to attract holidaymakers to the village. The left bank of the river is actually Hoveton St John, Wroxham being on the right, but they have both come to be known as Wroxham. There is a good range of shops, but the most famous is Roys of Wroxham, probably the largest village store in the country.

Offering comfortable accommodation, this cottage is situated in a quiet backwater. It is ideal for couples or small families, and you may enjoy feeding the swans and ducks, which will come up to the door. For those who enjoy fishing, you can fish from the cottages own waterside garden. 

Within easy walking distance, visitors will find riverside pubs and restaurants, shops and day boat hire, whilst sandy beaches, nature trails, golf courses, craft barns and National Trust properties are all under 15 miles. Norwich, a charming cathedral and university city, boasts galleries, museums, excellent shopping, cinemas, theatres and a castle (12 miles).
