Just back from a lovely 7 night stay in Summer Haven one of the 2 bedroomed bungalows. The property was very comfortable and spotlessly clean. The added bonus of a day boat was great and we made the most of it using it 6 days out of 7. The property is a short walk from the centre of Hoveton with plenty of shops and eating places, but situated in a very picturesque boatyard down a quiet lane. I opened the kitchen blinds one morning to see a deer walking through the trees. Thank you Sue, Debbie, Paul and all the Summercraft team. See you next year.

Fourth stay here, accommodation lovely and clean and well equipped. Great location with direct access to the Broads using the day boat included . The day boat seemed to have deteriorated this time, lacking the maintenance level of previous years. Unique place and would happily return.
