Guests say
River Quay is a well-received holiday cottage praised for its cleanliness, comfort, and prime location. Guests appreciate the thoughtful touches, including a welcome basket, and the property's proximity to the beach and local amenities. While the unique Aga cooker and steep stairs are noted, the overall sentiment is highly positive, with many guests eager to return.
Guests consistently describe the property as 'spotlessly clean' and 'very clean', indicating a high standard of cleanliness throughout the cottage.
The property's location is frequently praised for being close to the beach, restaurants, and shops, with easy access to Great Yarmouth and the Broads, making it an ideal base for exploring.
Reviewers find the beds and furniture comfortable and the house well-equipped for a pleasant stay. However, some concerns about the steep stairs slightly affect the comfort score.
While the property is well-stocked and offers a range of amenities, several guests mention difficulties with the Aga cooker and one instance of a shower issue, suggesting room for improvement in facilities and maintenance.
The presence of a welcome pack, including cake and bubbly, and other considerate details are well-received. However, it should be noted that such gifts, while appreciated, are not guaranteed for every stay.

Had a lovely long weekend at River Quay. Handy for everything and easy parking. Comfortable bed and the house was spotlessly clean and well stocked with all you would need. Garden was nice as well Just one little moan. The cooker is an Aga with only one hob plate so is difficult to use if you want to have more than one pan at a time.We would definitely return

One of the best holiday lets I have ever stayed in. Very well equipped, well laid out, and perfect for our needs. Comfortable, warm, and easy to access being only a couple of minutes from the Great Yarmouth bypass. Little welcoming touches made our arrival really easy - a welcome pack, a shortlist of the most important information, a couple of tablets for the dishwasher. Even some recipe books for the Aga! The street was pleasantly quiet at night, with pubs, restaurants and shops all within walking distance if you're sticking close to the house. For us, easy access to the main road took as all around the local area of the Broads - we had a lovely visit.
