We had a very enjoyable stay at the Boat Shed, which is ideally located for exploring Norfiolk, but also offers peace and tranquility away from busy roads and other buildings. Our primary reason for choosing The Boat Shed was that it was dog friendly. Owners Dan and Sam really go the extra mile to make your stay special with welcome treats, not only for the adults, but the dogs. We were so touched by these personal gifts. Another big plus for this property is your own private hot tub. A welcome bottle of fizz awaits you on arrival to enjoy amongst the bubbles of the hot tub. A truly telexing venue. Highly recommended.
