Whispering Reeds, Hot Tub and Private Quay, Horning

Whispering Reeds is a detached riverside house in Horning, right in the heart of the Norfolk Broads. Sit out on the quay heading and watch the boats drift by, soak in your own private hot tub, then curl up by the wood burner once the sun goes down. With three double bedrooms, two shower rooms, an outdoor kitchen and room for two dogs, it's a lovely base for families, couples and friends. Horning's riverside pubs and tea rooms are just a 10-minute walk away.

Downstairs
The open-plan living space is the heart of the house, with large sliding glass doors that open straight onto the deck and garden, so you've got river views from the sofa. There's a wood burner with free logs for cosy evenings, plus a Smart TV, Blu-ray player, Xbox and Wii.

The kitchen is well equipped for proper holiday cooking, with an electric oven, induction hob, microwave, air fryer, slow cooker, dishwasher, Nespresso machine and an American fridge freezer with ice maker. The dining table seats six. There's also a utility space with a washing machine, iron and ironing board, and a ground-floor shower room.

Upstairs
Bedroom 1: king-size bed, Smart TV and sliding glass doors onto a private glass balcony overlooking the garden and river
Bedroom 2: double bed and Smart TV
Bedroom 3: double bed and Smart TV
All three beds are ottomans with plenty of storage underneath. A shower room with a heated towel rail completes the first floor.

Outside
The lawned garden runs down to the river, where a decked quay heading with corner seating is the perfect spot for watching the boats go by and spotting kingfishers, herons and, if you're lucky, otters. There are two decks lit up in the evening, an outdoor kitchen with a gas barbecue and outdoor dining, and a private hot tub for up to five. The balcony has a bistro table and heaters, so you can enjoy the view well into the evening.

Included
Bed linen, towels, logs for the wood burner, gas for the barbecue, superfast Wi-Fi, electric central heating and a welcome pack. Each shower room has a bar of hand soap and travel-size shampoo and body wash to get you started.

The garden leads down to the water's edge, so please keep a close eye on children and dogs outside.
All three bedrooms are upstairs, and there is a step at the front entrance.
Both bathrooms are shower rooms. There is no bath.
