A proposito di questa barca ormeggiata struttura in affitto
Dating back to the 1870s, The Wild Duck is our most unusual property. A converted boat overlooking Snettisham RSPB reserve, this hideaway is just 200 metres from the beach. Compact, bright, cosy and well equipped, The WIld Duck has three bedrooms (cabins). So, if you are looking for something completely different, intriguing, atmospheric and simply unique, then look no further.
The Wild Duck is no ordinary holiday home. Converted from a boat, the detached accommodation is beautifully presented, romantic and peaceful. Nestling behind the dunes overlooking the Snettisham RSPB reserve on one side and with The Wash estuary and beach just 200 metres on the other, you will fall asleep to the sound of the sea and the rustling of the reeds.The interior has been extremely well thought out with one of the bedrooms built into the bow, giving 180 degree views, and children will be delighted with their special room. Nautically themed throughout, The Wild Duck is bright and cheerful, and retains many of it's original features as well as offering some modern comforts and a well-equipped kitchen.
The location of the 'boat' is very close to the coast, but guests still have modern comforts such as free WiFi and television. With elevated sun decks giving the perfect front row seats to the amazing Wash sunsets, you will leave here with memories that will stay with you forever. A truly unique holiday experience.
History of The Wild Duck:
The boat was built in 1878 at West Lynn for George Cresswell, part of the famous Barclays Bank, Gurney family. She has been dry beached on South Beach Heacham since 1923. Now fully refurbished and enhanced whilst still proudly retaining a wealth of character with may original features.
Heacham has many footpaths to discover, and a great beach side promenade that stretches all the way to the iconic carrstone cliffs of neighbouring Hunstanton. Look out for popular Bordoli's pizza truck that visits the village on a Wednesday evening, and be sure to sample the gooiest of treats from Breakfast and Brownies on the high street. There is also a great antiques shop and cafe to be found next to the Tesco Express. For a larger supermarket, Lidl is located on on the road to Snettisham, and there is a big Tescos in Hunstanton, which also has EV chargers in the car park and a fuel station.
Additional Information:
Three well behaved dogs are welcome (small additional charge).
Strictly no smoking.
Please bring your own pods for the coffee machine.
There is no starter pack (tea, coffee, sugar and milk) or welcome hamper provided at this property.
There is external CCTV at this property.

This is a quirky but charming place.
The location, when you ignore the holiday parks on the way in, is amazing. A piece of special.
Hares, Deer,Pheasants, Coots and loads of birds. A minute to the sea and RSPB reserve on your doorstep.
The accommodation is not luxury but it has a shabby charm I loved .
Would I go back..... Absolutely.

Really enjoyed our stay at The Wild Duck. Couldn't fault the accommodation. Beautifully clean, well equipped, warm and welcoming. The mix of vintage trawler/beach hut kitsch was a real winner for us. The natural slope of the original boat hull made for some interesting entries into the living area - until we got our 'sea legs' and the hallway is a little cluttered but the decent size 'cabins, comfortable living area and well equipped kitchen more than make up for any slight inconvenience in negotiating the passage to the bedrooms. The weather was not good enough to make use of the two beautiful outside deck areas but I suspect that they would be truly beautiful on a warm Summer evening.
The surrounding area was stunning. A short stroll to the sand dunes and a mosey along Heacham Beach was a daily joy. A fabulous circular walk from the door, through the nature reserve and back along the beach were just lovely. The perfect hideaway from a rather stressful world, Already working out when we can revisit.

Great location for bird watching & beach access. Warm & comfortable, well equipped except for indoor dining table options

Lovely location for walks on the beach and surrounding areas. Quirky accommodation though a bit cluttered and I worried about breaking something especially having a dog. Would have like more table space to put our own personal items like makeup and toiletries , keys etc. Kitchen could do with a microwave. There was space for one but again was a bit cluttered with non essential nik naks. Lovely holiday home but just a bit personal for renting out . Great outdoor space and would go back again purely for the location
