This was quite a 'different' holiday for us: The Sail Loft is in the middle of a busy boat charter yard and quite a landmark on the River Bure in Wroxham. The provision of a free day boat throughout as we were not visiting during the school summer holidays was a real boon. As we always try to have at least one boat trip during our holidays, this made the already roomy holiday house feel like a bargain.
The surroundings are perhaps not conventionally pretty with all the boatyard sheds and kit, extensive tarmac and stored customer cars and one balcony has a view of the refuse area. However, it was more attractive than expected, there's parking for two cars outside the house and a short walk into Wroxham which has many excellent facilities, particularly the Roy's of Wroxham food hall. The location for tourism was very convenient too with plenty to see and do within a very short trip on foot or by car (or a much more leisurely boat trip), from the city of Norwich to the coast for paddling.
The house was well equipped - we particularly valued the provision of fans in every room once the weather warmed up. The large oven was convenient for a big group but did take an age to heat up. This was the first time ground coffee has been supplied to us in a welcome pack and it was excellent.
The main downsides were that quite a lot of the attractions excluded dogs (although they were welcomed in some surprising places such as Norwich Cathedral) and the engine on the day boat is not quiet (although of course this encouraged lowest possible speeds) I can imagine that some might struggle with the house with steep stairs and the open access to the water at the front, but it worked well for us and I would recommend this accommodation.
