HEATHER

Welcome to Heather

Houseboat of character, docked in Hoveton by the River Bure on the Norfolk Broads Waterways.

Heather is cared for by a partnership of friends and family. Our aim is to preserve the distinctive style of the houseboat and enable future generations to enjoy her charms.

Explore the riverside, browse the shops and places to eat and drink ~ and much more beyond monumental Wroxham Bridge.

Rush hours on the river


Writers have described the twin villages of Hoveton and Wroxham as a Mecca of Broadland. This reputation has lured many folk over the years, including Arthur Ransome, author of Swallows and Amazons ~ who hired yachts and stayed unexpectedly at the King's Head Hotel during the 1930s. Ransome's timeless stories sketch a picture of a circus atmosphere around the riverside ~ some things never change. 

Life is rather like a tin of sardines ~ we're all of us looking for the key. Alan Bennett
