Part of our Quirky Collection.
Secret Water is a very unique, floating, glamping pod situated on the edge of a peaceful boatyard in Beccles on the scenic River Waveney on the Southern Broads. It sleeps a maximum of 4 people in 2 bedrooms; one double bedroom and a bedroom with 2 full size single bunk beds fitted in an L-shape. The pod has a kitchenette with a 2 ring induction hob, microwave and a small fridge. There is a wet room with a shower, loo and wash basin. Underfloor heating is fitted throughout and bed linen and towels are provided.
At the front of the pod, overlooking the river, there is an open air patio area with a folding table and chairs provided; giving you the chance to enjoy your meals ‘al fresco’, partake in a spot of fishing, feed the ducks or simply enjoy the view while soaking up the sun. A rowboat is also included, allowing you to take a leisurely row along the river if you wish.
Beccles town is made up of little market squares and streets that wind alongside the River Waveney. Around every corner are quirky, independent shops, restaurants and cafes. Locally you will find Beccles Lido, various river trips, the Friday street market and a local history museum. Further afield there are naval, aviation and transport museums, outdoor karting, parks, gardens and medieval churches to explore. The coast is also just 20 minutes’ drive from Beccles or there is a local train station if you prefer to travel by rail, so you'll find plenty to do if you like to be busy. Otherwise, just relax on the decking, the choice is yours.
