Bittern is nestled on a peaceful backwater in the very heart of the picturesque village of Horning, which lies along the River Bure in the centre of the Norfolk Broads National Park. Often regarded as one of the most charming and scenic locations in the region, Horning offers a unique blend of natural beauty, riverside charm, and traditional village atmosphere—making it a much-loved destination for those seeking a relaxing getaway in Norfolk.
This welcoming “home away from home” is perfectly equipped for a comfortable and convenient holiday on the Broads. With two well-appointed bedrooms and a bathroom all situated on the ground floor, Bittern is especially well-suited to guests who prefer or require step-free access. Inside, the property is thoughtfully furnished and designed to offer all the comforts and amenities needed for a restful stay, whether you're here for a short break or a longer retreat.
Outside, the spacious and beautifully maintained waterside garden is a haven for local wildlife, including a regular gathering of ducks and birds—so don’t forget to bring along some duck food to enjoy feeding them! The peaceful backwater setting, combined with direct garden access to the water, also makes Bittern an ideal spot for fishing enthusiasts (during the open season), offering plenty of quiet space to sit back, cast a line, and enjoy the soothing surroundings.
Just a short stroll brings you into the centre of Horning village, where you’ll find a variety of amenities including pubs, cafés, shops, and boat hire facilities.
