Enjoy fishing directly from our 100' quay head onto the main River Bure. Popular location for all levels of anglers, offering some excellent coarse and Pike fishing. Roach, Tench, Bream, Rudd and Perch are regularly caught. Rod hire, tackle and bait are all available locally. Wonderful location to escape to and relax. Available all year to let you enjoy the seasons in all their glory. It has a private mooring with power and water supply for you to use with our compliments should you wish to bring your own boat or hire one (available in the village ,5 minute walk). A tranquil setting within a beautiful garden, complete with summer house and a lagoon full of wildlife. The impeccably equipped cottage has every convenience and is all on one level with ramped access (only step; the front door threshold) . Enjoy an easy 5 minute stroll into the delightful village of Horning with shops (excellent deli), pubs ,general store, fish restaurant, tea shops and seats on the village green to watch the river activity. We have an additional bed settee in the bedroom perfect to sit in comfort to watch TV or listen to music. There is also a king size electric bed that folds away and can be used in the lounge. We provide all bed linens, kitchen roll, foil, cling film, toilet rolls, tissues, antibacterial liquid soap, dishwasher and washing machine tabs, salt /pepper, fairy liquid, tea, coffee, biscuits etc. Perfect location for walking, cycling or just come and relax in the comfort of our home. You can enjoy a trip on the Paddle Steamer which sets off from the Swan pub in the village. Sliding glass doors open out onto a veranda for warmer days with spectacular views. Myself, or my housekeeper who is excellent, will have everything ready for your stay. Spare bed linens/ pillows/ duvets will be found in the cupboards and the main king size bed will of course be freshly made up ready for you. The shops/ pubs/fish restaurant are only a five minute walk into the village. Rechargeable torch in the kitchen to walk home; put the bridge lights on before you go! With various seating areas you can just sit and soak up this truly unique location.The property is in a tranquil setting; ideal for watching the boats and wildlife. Although in a quiet location, it is only a gentle walk (approximately 250 yards ) from Horning village, 5 minute drive from Wroxham, and 15 minutes from some of the best beaches in Norfolk. Extract from our visitor book: We had seen Noosa Sound cottage from cruising on the river and decided it looked a delightful place to stay, We looked it up on the internet and very much liked what we saw and booked it for a week's holiday. Well our breath was quite taken away when we actually arrived and saw how beautiful it actually was from the moment we crossed the private bridge that led to the cottage, we passed the family of swans resting on their nest at the edge of the inner mooring. Noosa Sound cottage lived up to and surpassed my dreams, it was absolutely immaculate, cosy and comfortable, every room was filled with everything you would ever need and more. My words to my husband were “I think I've died and gone to heaven” The views from the large patio windows took in the beauty of the gardens leading down to the river, where many happy hours were spent catching fish by my husband. We spent a very relaxing time enjoying the lovely garden which was so well maintained, we enjoyed many happy lunches & drinks reading, relaxing and soaking up the lovely tranquility. We watched with interest the family of swans going about the daily activities with the signets growing bigger each day. We enjoyed walking into the village and getting our daily fresh rolls cold meats and provisions from the array of wonderful local shops, stopping on our way for a drink or two at the village pub (New Inn) before heading back to our cottage. I don't think you could ask for more, the setting, the comfort, the sheer beauty of the cottage and its large gardens, the relaxing atmosphere, wildlife and of course the fishing. Thanks Val and Ian for allowing us to enjoy your wonderful cottage, we will be coming back as often as we can. Lynn & Martin GibsonMore

Relaxing and peaceful waterside bugalow
A last minute change meant that we could spend 3 beautiful days in the idyllic location of Noosa Sound. After a crazy run up to Christmas and busy festive period it was the perfect tonic to come and sit and enjoy the wildlife, long walks in open skies, feast at local inns and truly relax. A comfortable and well equipped bungalow, thanks so much for accommodating us.

Winter Getaway
You feel at home as soon as you walk into Noosa Sound. It is a great place to be come rain or shine, and we certainly had both! We stayed in November and would highly recommend going to Horsey Beach to see the seal pups if you stay here in the winter and there are some magnificent stretches of coastline there to walk on too. This is our second stay and no doubt we will be back.

A perfect escape
If you're looking for a place to switch off and relax, this is it! My partner and I visited in late November and Noosa Sound was the perfect base to explore Norfolk. You feel instantly relaxed walking across the bridge and it is wonderful to feel secluded yet only a 3 or 4 minute walk to the village centre. Even if the weather isn't on your side, it is a lovely home to curl up and read a book whilst watching the wildlife on the lagoon and river.

'Immaculately presented first rate accommodation'
The location is perfect, beside the river with all the wildlife you could wish for and the accommodation has all you need for a great holiday. There are also many restaurants and places to eat in the village with takeaway and delivery options available as well. Noosa Sound is a brilliant place - it's so peaceful, so relaxing....so I've already booked for next year!

A lovely peaceful place to stay.
Noosa sound is a picturesque riverside property. It was very relaxing and tranquil. If you want peace and quiet this is the place to stay. The views from each room are beautiful, we loved watching the boats go past and the wildlife. It has everything you need. The house is a short walk from all the local pubs, and the seafood restaurant in Horning. (which we recommend) We enjoyed our stay and will be back.

Fabulous
Noosa sound is a fabulous place in a stunning location. It’s fully equipped and ideal for a stay by the river. We were visited by herons, swans and an otter. It’s also perfect for fishing, as it has outside bait fridge and safe decking to the waters edge.

Perfect
If you want peace and quiet, then this is the place to stay. Beautiful property with everything you need and more. Very clean, bright and comfortable with views of the garden and river from every room. Abundance of wildlife to watch or just relax and watch the boats go by. Short and pleasant stroll to the village. Simply perfect. Have stayed in a number of properties on the broads and this tops them all. Would highly recommend if you want to relax and get away from it all. Good fishing too!
