About this property

Riverside Holiday Cottage Nr The Iconic Wroxham Bridge. 2-Bedroom Pet-Friendly

Star Cottage is a 2-bedroom (sleeps 4) riverside holiday cottage in the village of Wroxham, in the heart of the Norfolk Broads. The cottage is close to the famous and iconic Wroxham Bridge and has the great benefit of being on the downstream side of the bridge where all the activity takes place! Star Cottage guests can relax in the lounge or on their private patio while watching the ever-changing scenery of wildlife and boating activities taking place on the river before them.

Guests may fish directly from the cottage lawns (in season only), and many other activities such as cycling, canoeing, walking and horse-riding are available very close by - as are a range of pubs, cafes, restaurants and local shopping in Wroxham village centre, which is only a short walk away. The cottage has it’s own private parking but since Wroxham village has a railway station and excellent bus services, so you can easily holiday at Star Cottage without needing a car at all if required.

So, whether you are looking for an energetic holiday or a relaxing one, Star Cottage is the ideal location. And don’t forget that Wroxham is within easy exploring distance of the Norfolk coast, much beautiful countryside and quaint local villages – or even city-centre shopping in Norwich.

The cottage itself sleeps up to four guests in two comfortable bedrooms, one double and one twin. The whole property has been progressively re-decorated to a high standard by the current owners.

On the ground floor the cottage has an entrance hall with storage and cloakroom, with a large open-plan lounge, dining and kitchen area making-up the rest of the ground floor, with French doors leading out onto a small private patio, complete with garden furniture.

Upstairs is a family bathroom including full-size bath with electric shower over. The main double bedroom has views across the river, and includes a dressing table, built-in wardrobe and room for a travel cot if required. The main bedroom also includes a television for those late-night movies!

The smaller twin bedroom also benefits from a built-in wardrobe, and linen and duvets for all beds is included, with beds made-up for your arrival.

Star Cottage may be booked for either full weeks or short breaks lasting 3 or 4 days. In either case a variety of start and end dates are available, subject to any existing bookings – if you have any non-standard requirements please get in touch and we will try very hard to accommodate your needs.

Well-behaved pets are welcome at Star Cottage, and please note that electricity is INCLUDED in the price – no nasty extra bills!. Towels (2 per guest) are provided, and the cottage has it's own broadband Wi-Fi service

Great location, walking distance to everything and perfect to watch the boats. Ideal short stay. The only downside was the double mattress was extremely uncomfortable like lying on concrete.

Only a week.
Absolutely brilliant location opposite Hotel Wroxham. However, property lacked suitable outdoor furniture as it comprised only four metal chairs and a metal table. No umbrella,which was vital for the week in question. Property was reasonably kitted out but we were fed up with banging our head on the numerous low ceilings. Notwithstanding the above, we had an enjoyable week.

Brilliant location but lacks cleanliness
I did contact the owner of the property before posting thos review but hes not replied. We had multiple problems with the house. Tap in kitchen very noisy and banging No oven gloves in the kitchen Dressing table mirror screwed down in the middle but stool to the left no space to sit in front of the mirror. Shower curtain doesn't go all the way around the bath surround menaing water goes everywhere Extractor factor in the kitchen - doesn't work/ not connected Black Marks on the wallpaper in the bedroom and lounge- family members refused to sleep in that bed theh were that bad. No welcome pack of instructions - where are the bins? How to work the radiators as it doesnt have central heating. No batteries in the tv remotes Really could do with a grab handle to help people get out of the shower/bath Loose floor tiles in the bathroom in front of the toilet Taps in the bathroom are full of limescale No light in the fridge Freezer box all frozen up we could hardly open it to use Shocking mattresses in single bedroom, springs poking through Lamp in single room doesn't work After flushing the toilet water runs for ages Problems with the toaster,can't unplug it, loose wire, works sometimes and other times not Sewerage smell from the drain outside the front door

Perfect location
A lovely little cottage in a beautiful location. Arrived the first evening to find the hot tap in the kitchen broken and the fire not working. Fortunately there was another heater in the lounge so we didn’t freeze. I rang Simon? in the morning and he assured me that all would be fixed and when we returned from a day out all was as it should be. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend. We would all like to make a return trip. Thank you.

The property was nice but not very clean. The picture of the property is very misleading, there is now a boat dock in front of the cottage, with a boat that is nothing to do with the cottage, permanently moored there. As we booked the property because of its water frontage so that we could do some fishing it was very disappointing. The lounge was very cramped due to a large table which was restricting.

Cosy cottage in Wroxham
The cottage has everything necessary for a comfortable stay for up to 4 people. The bed and other furniture was comfortable and the kitchen was well equipped. Wroxham village is within a 10 minute walk. Roy's has everything you would possibly need. It was fun to watch the swans, ducks and other birds on the river. The cottage is well situated to Norwich as well as the coast if you have a car. The wifi is fast and fine for regular email but if you want to be on Facebook or need to look at websites that have a lot of graphic images it is limited. There are other free wifi networks available from time to time but they are sporadic and limited as well. Overall we had a nice stay and Jeremy was very helpful.

Superb Location
Star Cottage is compact, it has everything that you need for a comfortable stay. The property was very clean with comfortable beds . The location was the best that we have stayed in at Wroxham, the patio doors gave us a great view of the river and the wild life, we had a heron look in through the window, lots of swans,geese, 2 Egyptian geese, ducks and 2 otters were seen on the lawn, our 2 dogs were fascinated. Wroxham is a great centre for a holiday, we went to Norwich, Cromer,Horsey and Caister. We had an interesting trip on a large pleasure boat, The Queen of the Broads which is moored very close to Star cottage. The weather was sunny but with a very cold wind so after a cold day out we were very pleased to return to the warmth and comfort of Star Cottage.We would love to return again, it was a very good find.

About the host

Hosted by Owner/Property Manager

Host profile image
I'm Jeremy, the owner of Star Cottage. My family are Norfolk born-and-bred and for many years we had a cruiser on the Broads so I know the area very well. I'm now actually based in Derbyshire but bought the cottage back in 2008 and we use it both for our own holidays and for renting-out to guests, many of whom return year after year. We look forward to welcoming you to Star Cottage for your own holidays!

Why they chose this property

When I was looking for a waterside cottage to buy on the Broads I specifically wanted one that looked out on the the main river and that had plenty of 'passing traffic'. An awful lot of waterside properties in the area are actually located on backwaters and tributaries where nothing happens from one week to the next, or sometimes on the 'wrong side' of a low bridge that few boats can get through. Star Cottage is exactly the opposite and looks out onto the river in the centre of Wroxham (the 'Capital of the Broads') where there is always something going-on and something to watch - whether that be natural activity (lots of ducks, swans and sometimes herons), or boats passing of every size and type.
