About this property

Well-appointed, spacious 3 bedroom riverside cabin in tranquil Norfolk Broads.

Situated on the North West bank of the River Thurne, Vespers provides the perfect tranquil accommodation to relax and watch the world float, paddle and sail by; study the wildlife or fish from your own front garden. It offers an ideal retreat for families, couples and fishermen alike and is perfectly situated for exploring the beautiful Norfolk Broads. Sit in the arbour with a cup of tea or a G&T while you while away the hours with fabulous views both up and down the river.

A traditionally built, timber-framed cabin that’s been modernised in-keeping with its surroundings, Vespers offers spacious living accommodation including a well equipped kitchen, dining room with open views of the river, comfortable lounge with TV and DVD player and 2 double and one twin bedroom, plus a bathroom with modern electric shower, basin and WC. Free WiFi.

There is one car parking space included for the duration of your stay.

Vespers is a short walk from Potter Heigham Bridge, along a tow-path which takes approx. 6 minutes or a 7/10 minute walk from your designated car parking space.
Vespers is single storey once inside.
Please note Vespers does not have vehicular access. It is reached via foot path or boat only.
Unfortunately the foot path which runs from the car park/bridge to Vespers is not suitable for mobility scooters and may prove challenging to anyone with limited mobility.

Please contact me prior to booking Vespers if you require any further clarification or help.

There are numerous family attractions, beautiful beaches and places of interest all easily accessible from Potter Heigham. Explore the surrounding area by foot, car, bike or boat. You will not be disappointed.

If you wish to take a break from Self-catering there are many lovely cafes, quaint pubs or restaurants close by for you to chose from whether you wish to enjoy a cream tea or a 3 course dinner.

Well behaved pets are welcome with an additional refundable deposit to be paid at the time of booking.

Beautiful location and very easy to find with host's detailed instructions. Nice to have a free parking space. We loved waking up and sitting outside with a coffee in the early morning sun, watching the boats go by and the swans and ducks swimming about. It is SO peaceful, especially at night as there's no traffic (you're not on a road!) and there are no streetlights. Property was beautifully clean and well equipped. Lesley was an attentive and helpful host. It was amazing to see all the seals at Horsey Gap. We hadn't realised there would be quite so many. An incredible sight. We enjoyed walks along the river and across the Fens, went to a big farmers' market nearby and hired a dayboat for some time on the river. Easy walking access from the cabin to shops & food and then just a few miles away, we'd also recommend Hirst's Farm Shop in Ormesby St Margaret.

Thank you for your kind and generous review. I am so pleased you enjoyed your break and the tranquillity of the River Thurne. Watching the river life float by, from the garden or while eating, is one of my favourite pastimes & can be very therapeutic. The Horsey Gap seals are a true delight to watch and a privilege to be able to step into their world. I am so pleased you went to see them. I must extend a huge thank you for leaving Vespers so clean and tidy. Your respect and consideration is greatly appreciated. I would be delighted to welcome you back to Vespers any time. Thank you. Lesley.

Perfectly Peaceful

Only a few minutes walk to the center of Potter Higham, it's perfectly located on the waterfront. We hired a boat and moored it directly outside! We could've sat there for hours watching the world go by. We will DEFINITELY return, this time with friends. There isn't a single negative about our stay, the cottage/home, the location or anything!

Summer break

What an amazing place Vespers is. The location is perfect right on the river but close to Potter Heigham. We have a boat and we were able to moor it right outside the property. Inside the place is very spacious. We particularly enjoyed eating in the separate dining room. The kitchen has everything you could possibly need including glasses for every occasion!! We would definitely recommend the property if you are wanting to come to Norfolk.

Dear Susan, Thank you for your positive feedback and generous review. I am so pleased that you and your party enjoyed Vespers. The dining room, with it's views of the river, wildlife and passing boats is certainly a highlight for many guests at Vespers. I am glad that you appreciated the well stocked kitchen and variety of glasses. I have tried to learn from many years of self-catering and want my guests to have the nearest 'home from home' experience. Thank you again for chosing Vespers and I am so pleased you enjoyed your stay.

What an amazing place. A true home from home. Well equipped, catered for all our family's needs. Such a peaceful location and ideal for some many attractions. I cannot recommend Vespers enough for some genuine rest and relaxation. Lesley made the booking so easy and was so knowledgeable on the local area too. We have already booked for later in the year. Thanks for a truly wonderful break Lesley. What a gem you have there in Vespers!

Perfect property in a prime location.

Vespers was everything we wanted and more. Lesley was the perfect host, answering all of our questions promptly, both before and during our stay. Vespers was so well equipped, even things we didn't realise we needed were there for our use. The bedding was good quality, and there were plenty of towels of all sizes available. The property was immaculate throughout. There was plenty of outdoor seating with more available from the shed. We enjoyed our meals, watching the boats go by on the river. The fishing was excellent, catching bream up to 6lb, with the added bonus of a couple of otter sightings. The location was perfect, with it's close proximity to Potter Heigham and all of it's amenities. We usually try to stay in different accommodation each year, but Vespers ticked so many boxes, we do not feel we can top it, so we are already planning to book again next year.

Fab riverside property sympathetically modernised

I took my two boys (12 and 15) here along with other friends and we had a fantastic time. It was my first time staying in the Norfolk Broads and I wanted something fairly central to the area, with good access to the broads, cafes, pubs and attractions.. this place looked like it had it all and certainly didn't disappoint. It looks small from the outside, but this property is like a tardis... separate dining/kitchen/lounge rooms... then a further three separate bedrooms (one with a superking sized bed!, one double - might have been a king? and a further twin bedroom!) and a bathroom - actually... no bath, just a modern good-sized shower, toilet and sink... Everyone was very comfortable. It's been tastefully decorated throughout... no particular theme... just really neutral and nicely modernised. The kitchen had most gadgets/crockery/cutlery and implements that you could ask for including a decent sized fridge with a good sized freezer - not the small post box type ones you get in some places... Sitting outside in the garden watching the world, literally, float, sail and paddle by was superb and so relaxing... but my kids demanded action... so we spent quite a bit of time in the two double (seater) kayaks provided with the property (along with life jackets of all sizes! The owner really had thought of everything!) - you can go off and paddle for hours up and down the river taking in the beautiful scenery... it was absolutely fantastic. At night you can sit and watch a very clear sky too...so serene. There was also a shed at the side with swingball/chairs/fishing rods.. plenty to do! Check on the map, but this place is close to many of Norfolk's main attractions including Thrigby Hall Wildlife park (great day out and about 20-25 mins away?) and... Lathams, which I think is a bit of a landmark in Norfolk by all accounts... it's a large store selling almost _anything_ that you can imagine and has an on-site bakery! There is a cafe attached... but we found that the Bridgestones cafe closer to the old bridge (about 7 mins walk from Vespers) was soooo much better and with THE best cakes you can imagine. All in all, I'd highly recommend this holiday property.. it was clearly well looked after and maintained, you'll have a great time. Another bonus is that it has a dedicated private parking space nearby (near to Lathams) and they seemed to be rather sought after... so wherever you book... ensure there is parking. I'll definintely be going back at some point.

Making memories when family is young is so important and it was a pleasure to assist you in finding the right activities for your family to enjoy.

About the host

Hosted by Lesley Richardson

Hi, I'm Lesley and the very proud owner of Vespers.

I have owned this property since 2005 and my family and I have enjoyed many holidays and created so many precious memories there.

I want all my holiday makers to get the most from their holiday and create special memories with their family and friends and I am here to help wherever I can.

Why they chose this property

I spent many holidays on the Norfolk Broads as a child and always dreamed of being able to create the same memories and fun for my own family.

I fell in love with Vespers because of its easy access yet feeling like it was a million miles away from the stresses of everyday life.

What makes this property unique

Vespers is spacious and offers you a home from home environment with the tranquillity of the River Thurne in your front garden.

I am a keen cook so the kitchen is well equipped but also there are many lovely places to eat close by if you want to get away from everyday chores.

I'm here to help so please ask any questions you may have about the property or the surrounding area and I will assist if I can.
