The cottage is part of a terrace that was formerly used to accommodate the barge horses and watermen who worked the River Nar. Renovated with modern interiors, the cottage offers river views and on-site fishing (license required) on the owner's riverbank and lake. Tickets available (details given on booking) to fly fish the main river with a day pass or course fish in the small lake. Direct access from the door to river walks, with a chance to see grey wagtails, kingfishers, herons, swans, cormorants, water voles and many more. There is plenty of open green space for children to enjoy, whilst you watch them from the comfort of the cottage. Bring along some old bread or cheese to feed the eels and carp. Enjoy fantastic private walks with your dog. Please note during 2025 there may be some outside landscaping work being carried out, every effort will be made to keep any disruption to a minimum.
This is a family run business and we all endeavour to make your stay as special as possible.
Situated on the banks of the River Nar, the village of Narborough is located between the historic market towns of Swaffham and King's Lynn, both of which provide good shopping, pubs and restaurants. It is eighteen miles from the seaside resort of Hunstanton, with the bird reserves along the North West Coast also close by. The royal estate of Sandringham is just 20 minutes away. There is excellent fishing at Narborough Trout Farm and Pentney Lakes as well as on site. The village has a shop and a Chinese restaurant with further facilities available in Swaffham, five miles away. There is a good bus service running through the village.
