Rowan Craft has been in business since the 1950's and under the current ownership for the last 25 years, run by family members Ian, Helen, Paul and Lisa, who live on site with their children. Nathan is our weekend help.

Located in the pretty village of Geldeston, on the Norfolk / Suffolk border. Approx 12 miles by road from Norwich, Lowestoft and & Great Yarmouth.

At the start of the navigable River Waveney with access to the whole Broads network. Just 40 mins cruise by boat to the popular town of Beccles with wide selection of shops and places to eat, bus and rail stations and the popular outdoor heated swimming pool, Beccles Lido which re-opened in 2010.

There is an abundance of local wildlife, within the boatyard we have resident owls, kingfishers and even the odd Deer. The good water quality produces a wealth of fish including, bream, roach, perch and of course pike. Otters are back living in the wild on the river and have been sighted within the yard for the first time in many years and colonies of depressed mussels have returned.

Geldeston itself has two pubs, The Wherry Inn just a stones throw from our entrance driveway and The historic Locks Inn is reachable by foot, car or boat. Both offer live music, real ales and good food. Just a few minutes stroll there is an excellent Farm shop selling a large range of fresh produce and home baked bread, they also have a selection of petting animals which is hugely popular with visiting children.With no street lighting the village is well known for its ‘dark' so please remember to bring a torch!

GO GREEN>>>>>> From the top of the lane there is a regular bus service to Beccles and from there to more or less anywhere! We are also located on the national cylcle route and you are most welcome to bring bicycles or you could hire a canoe and get your shopping by river!
