Hippersons Boaryard is a winner of this year’s Visit Britain ROSE Awards[/caption]
There are six houseboats to choose from, including the Wild Cat Island Floating Pod[/caption]
The awards recognise the accommodation providers across England who provide visitors with the warmest of welcomes.
But Hippersons is very different from your usual holiday park or self-catered apartment.
Guests can stay in in one of six quirky houseboats which are nestled on the River Waveney in The Broads National Park.
The boatyard is self catering, offering fun for families or a romantic getaway for couples.
Each accommodation has a private rowing boat for exploring the river, and there are a wide range of other water-based experiences on offer.
Canoes, kayaks, stand up paddle boards, and a pedal boat are all available for hire.
There are also self drive boats you can take out for the day to explore the wider Broads.
Among the houseboats to choose from are ‘Secret Water’ – a luxury floating glamping pod with a large deck at the front to watch the sunrise and sunset from, a double room and a bunk room, small kitchenette, and a wet room with underfloor heating.
Local cafe Relish can make food hampers if you’re in need of supplies, or if you need some time out from cooking, there are plenty of pubs and restaurants nearby.
Nearby attractions include the Beccles Lido, where you can book a slot and swim in the outdoor pool.
There’s also Beccles Museum with displays on local industries and crafts.
A 30 minute drive away is Secret Sauna, a wood-fired sauna cabin in a secluded location, perched on the banks of the River Waveney.
One Hippersons Boatyard guest, who visited in August this year, described their stay on Tripadvisor.
They wrote: “The accommodation was well finished with a beautiful view out of the boatyard towards the river. My kids (and I) loved watching the fish swim past as we ate out on the water. We were welcomed by very hospitable staff and found a welcome hamper on arrival. The boathouse came with a dingy and life jackets, which we could use at our leisure.

Both Norfolk and Suffolk attractions were accessible from Beccles. Just a brilliant stay, I really can’t recommend enough. We’ll be back!”
