About The Granaries

Nestled near Wroxham in the heart of the Norfolk Broads, The Granaries offers a collection of self‑catering holiday cottages set up for family getaways, peaceful countryside breaks and fishing retreats. Guests enjoy exclusive access to our indoor heated salt‑water swimming pool and 24/7 sauna. Our cottages — Hopsack, Malt Shovel, Heron, Coot and Grebe — all benefit from super‑fast FTTP fibre Wi‑Fi with mesh extenders across the site.

Hopsack Cottage

One of two character cottages within a converted 18th‑century Maltings, Hopsack features an “upside‑down” layout – bedrooms on the ground floor and open‑plan living upstairs. This showcases the vaulted, beamed ceilings and gives gorgeous views of the river and wildlife from the balcony.

Living space

On the first floor, a generous kitchen‑dining area flows into a comfortable lounge with windows on two sides overlooking the water. A private balcony provides a perfect spot for morning coffee or sunset views.

Bedrooms

Downstairs are two bedrooms: a twin with en‑suite bath and WC, and a double with en‑suite shower room and access to a riverside patio. Travel cots are available on request.
