Norfolk Broads
I have been on the broads a couple of times and I really enjoy it everytime! We hired a day boat with my wife's parents from Wroxham one day and it was beautiful and definitely worth considering.

_When hiring a boat for a week, it's
not always the picture most people paint of living on a boat for a
week, the toilets are small and having a shower is a challenge and there
is not a massive amount of space in the bedrooms, unless you get a
living room that converts to a doulbe bedroom, then you most likely have
the best room, if your prepared to be up before everyone else. I would
suggest you consider getting a slightly larger boat than necessary, so
if there is 8 of you, look for a boat for 10 people, it will just give
you that little bit of extra space. If you can afford to do it, get a
more luxurious boat, however do your research, some of the higher
specification boats, can cost 1000's to hire for a week. The Norfolk
Broads is not a cheap holiday, if you compare it to going abroad for a
week and the fact you can't guarantee the weather here in the UK.
It's all about the experience of boating, but it's not for everyone, ladies, hairstraightners will be no good unless you pick a boat with 240v, we've made this mistake, not that it was an issue for me with my hair. You also need to consider which direction you will travel, not all boats can get under some of the bridges and as we found out on our last trip, heading towards Great Yarmouth is not necessarily the nicest route of the broads, so email or ring the company you wish to hire the boat from for advice and how long they think it will take you to get to places and back in time for handing the boat back to them.

Below are some more pictures from a trip out in a day boat from Wroxham on the broads, so if you not sure about a holiday on water, take out a boat for a few hours and i'm sure you'll enjoy it!
