About the host
Hosted by Philip Gooding
Our family have owned Watersedge since 1960. We spent many happy holidays as children learning to sail, row and canoe. It has always been a quiet location so walking and cycle rides have always been great fun. The beach is a lovely sandy beach great for the dog and sandcastles.
Why they chose this property
You just have to stay at Watersedge to understand its magic. The views are amazing with wild life right in front of you. Deer are regular visitors together with the Hen Harrier, Herons, lots of Duck and Moorhens. If your really lucky you might see our resident otter. You have 4 mountain bike to use, a rowing boat with child life jackets. Table tennis in the garage. Good off road parking. A lovely house with a large sitting room with a beautiful view over the Hickling broad. Separate dinning room and kitchen. A large entrance hall and separate cloakroom. Upstairs the main bedroom has a large double bed with a wonderful view over the broad. 3 other bedrooms include one with a double and single bed and the other 2 with twin bed. This property is a must go too. Many visitors return year after year.
What makes this property unique
Free use of 4 mountain bikes. Free use of rowing boat. Free Wi-Fi. Fantastic views. A wonderful place for quietly relaxing or a fun filled family holiday. Perhaps a little of both. BUT whether you are 2 or 9 people this is a place to remember and can be enjoyed by everyone young or older!!
