We stayed at Southover for our annual girls weekend away this year. We were a group of 9, and the house provided a great sociable living space. The nice big square dining table, and three large comfy sofas, meant that everyone was able to sit comfortably in each area, and the kitchen was big enough to cook for big groups easily. The view from the living room is lovely, we really enjoyed being right on the water. The local village (Wroxham) has a couple of nice pubs, and we easily found everything we needed in the shops/supermarket there.

Be warned that the Broads Authorities are quite strict about the number of people you have on the boat, and that the locals will call and complain if they spot you breaking any of the rules. It is a shame that they will only allow 5 people on the boat at any one time, but the boat itself was easy to run and good fun.

The Annex bedroom warmed up quickly with the heater provided, and was quite cosy even in pretty cold outdoor temperatures. The hot tub was good fun and VERY hot!

There are a few points that the owners need to address regarding the water pressure in the showers and how easily the drains block - which we will feedback directly. But none of these were major issues and overall we loved the house! The owners were very helpful and always ready at the end of the phone for any questions we had.

Wonderful communication with the owners, very pleased with all aspects. We had a lovely week away with friends and family and would definitely recommend and return!

I booked this property for a group of friends to celebrate my 50th . We planned a fancy dress cruise for one day.When we arrived the 12 seater boat pictured and described had been replaced with a smaller one that leaked and was unsafe for our party of 10. When I complained to the owner he accused us of putting a hole in it.. The bathrooms were tatty and the showers wouldnt work beyond a trickle in a couple of the rooms The hot tub had a broken lid and was grimy. The water quality wasnt checked once during our weeks stay.. There was often an unpleasant smell of drains ...The soft furnishings are shabby and the whole exterior needs a tidy up and lick of paint. The outdoor furniture needs replacing. ALL IN ALL A GREAT DISAPPOINTMENT NOT HELPED BY THE OWNERS UNPLEASANT AND UNHELPFUL MANNER.
