CRESTED GREBE

This riverside holiday home is perfect for enjoying a Norfolk holiday. Twelve miles from the fine city of Norwich. 20 mins drive to pristine (and quiet) beaches. Even better, this riverside holiday home is in the Norfolk Broads National Park

You can make the most of your immediate surroundings, fishing in the marina. Watching the river world go by from the balcony or listening to the wildlife as you BBQ from the patio. Even better you get a day boat (free of charge outside school holidays)

The “upside-down” open plan design makes this riverside holiday home a real delight. Shops, pubs and restaurants within a 5 to 10 min walk make it better.

  • 2 pets welcome. Charges apply inc refundable security deposit collected on arrival
  • Parking for 2 cars is available outside the property
  • Towels and complimentary toiletries in each bathroom
  • Welcome bag with tea and coffee making facilities and a guide to the area

Crested Grebe is situated next to 2 other waterside holiday homes  Bewick Swan and Greylag Goose

"We hired Prelude 2 for a week the party comprised two primary school children, and five adults. Space on the boat was excellent, handling was exceptional. We were able to cruise to Norwich stopping of at Chedgrave on the return to the Northern Broads. Prelude2 was an easy boat to moor although the size meant that it was necessary to look for suitably large mooring locations. The galley facilities were deceptively large and we were able to cook a Sunday roast with ease. The staff at Brinks boatyard were helpful on both our arrival and departure. A brilliant holiday was enjoyed by all."
- JOHN WILSON
"A serene and peaceful holiday, shame about the cold easterly wind that blew across the broads for the first few days. The staff at Barnes were very welcoming and helpful. The handover and handling instruction was professional and afterwards I felt confident to pilot the 44ft craft. Lullaby 2 is a nice spacious craft with sleeping for 8. A couple of the cabins were very tight so I would recommend that you should only have a max of 6 in your party. My only gripe is that the steering position in the saloon was not comfortable for long periods. This was due to the fact that the seating was like a high bar stool without foot spells, after 15 minutes the backs of your legs tended to ache. This was not our first holiday on the Broads, the previous one was 19 years ago, and a lot has changed. The boats are easier to handle but there are less moorings available. You really need to make an itinery and stick to it. All in all a really enjoyable holiday. Thank you to all at Barnes Brinkcraft."
- Jim Richardson
