The bustling village of Wroxham at the heart of the Broadland National Park is the setting for the Sail Loft, one of the most exciting and stylish reverside developments for the 2003 holiday season.

Distictively designed, these superior holiday properties add a new dimension to the skyline along the River Bure, close to the village centre. Named after the sail lofts which they have replaced, and created with comfort in mind, these luxury holiday homes boast balconies and sun-deck areas for relaxing and watching the river go by.

For most of the year, every property enjoys the added benefit of a motor launch because the best way of exploring the reed-fringed waterways of Broadland, is definitely afloat! Fishing, bird watching, picnics, stunning sunsets, peace and tranquility are just some aspects of this unique landscape.

Wroxham has shops and inns in ample variety. For a change of scene, just a mile away, a miniture steam train carries visitors through attractive countryside to the traditional market town of Aylsham. The medieval city of Norwich, with its colourful market, theatre, Norman cathedral, castle museum, Millenium library, fine shops and numerous inns and restaurants, is 9 miles from Wroxham. Safe sandy beaches, gardens, nature trials and reserves, a wildlife park, National Trust properties and golf are all within 15 miles
