Set SATNAV to NR12 8TH. All major routes need to connect to the Norwich ring road, and then follow a common 7-mile local road to Wroxham. Follow the ring road and take the A1151 (brown Tourist sign to Wroxham) approx 8 miles to Wroxham & Hoveton. After crossing over the railway bridge and mini roundabout, on entering Wroxham, take the second right turn into The Avenue. After about 100yds take a left turn into Staitheway Road and follow this down towards the boatyard. At a sharp right bend carry straight on into the private signed “Peninsula Cottages”. Follow the road to the left to the boat crane. Park at the secure parking barrier and collect keys form keysafe. Simple. Your holiday starts here!
