River View gave us an excellent centre for an overall view of the Norfolk Broads. It was comfortable and very suitable for a couple, young or old, with good views of the river and the boats. But there were some drawbacks. It is obviously run as a business and we didn’t even have a welcome text from the owner. Nor was there any welcome pack, apart from a jar of custard creams. Luckily we had anticipated that and brought basic supplies. Whilst this seems to be the way things are done now it is not very friendly and did not make us feel welcomed. We discovered a few small instances of uncleanliness and thought it would have been nice if the two wineglasses supplied had been the same size. The towels were not the soft fluffy type we have at home and really needed refreshing before the end of our week. But overall we enjoyed our stay at River View and the village of Horning is a delight.

The photo of were it was gave the impression it was nearer the water than it was apart from the Outlook it was a lovely clean place with everything you needed comfortable beds and sofa parking in street was hit and miss but on the whole a lovely accommodation for the price
