Can anyone recommend a good site with wi-fi in the Norfolk Broads?

As per title!

We are looking to have a short break in, or very close to the Norfolk Broads, ideally a small CL type site (5 vans) but the one thing it must have is good wi-fi

I know this sounds daft, going on holiday and needing to be connected to the world, but Gill is in the early days of an Internet business and has to be able to get online every day!

We've found some nice places, but they either don't do wi-fi at all, or if they do, it's flaky. We do have an O2 dongle, but again, every place we've found says that coverage is patchy

Of course, if someone can suggest a robust alternative to dongles, then feel free to let me know

Well I've heard very good things about the site at the Reedham Ferry, which is just down the road from me! I'm not sure if they have WiFi however I do happen to know that the Three coverage is good there so if you were to get a Three dongle (or have a Three phone you can tether) you should get around 6mb/s there. You're of course welcome to pop into my company's office and use the broadband here, we're only a short walk along a footpath from the ferry!

Generally if you want mobile broadband Three is the best way to go. We've just spent a week touring round Wales and generally we were always able to get connected with good speeds using my phone on Three which I then set up as a portable hotspot. My wife's phone (vodafone) usually had good service as well but only ever GPRS which is sooooo slow compared to 3G that it's basically unusable. Service on O2 tends to be quite patchy round here.

Thanks Guru, for the info on the site, the fact that 3 is probably the best mobile BB there and the offer of your own connection!

I'll show the info to Gill

Hi Steve. TBH we're not fussed! We had looked at somewhere near Wroxham perhaps, but anywhere that's "Broady" and nice and has the wi-fi will be fine!
