"Lovely place to spend a few days."
Very helpful staff.

"On arrival and having unpacked, the first time we flushed the toilet we found that it wasn't working properly and was unusable."
The office was locked and so we called the two out of hours numbers both of which were on message service. About an hour later a very angry looking young man arrived, he marched through our houseboat without speaking to us, he proceeded to stomp in and out . Then the owner arrived and insisted that the toilet was checked that day which it clearly had not been. It wasn't really all that clean anyway. If on cleaning and flushing it would have been found faulty . When I disputed her claim the owner just rudely talked over me . We then had to pack up all our belongings and move to another houseboat.

"It was a really nice surprise as I thought it was everything advertised and more."
The bed was the best nights sleep I have had in years as it was so comfortable.

There is a small market which comes to the town on Tuesdays and a farmers’ market on every other Saturday, as well as regular sales in the town hall. Stalham is one of the major starting points of Norfolk Broads boating holidays and a museum to give you an insight in to the Broadland environment is a must.
