This romantic bolthole boasts a prime position on the water’s edge in the pretty village of Brundall. The village sits in the heart of the Norfolk Broads, and you can explore the surrounding area from the water or along the picturesque trails following the River Yare. As well as having The Broads on your doorstep, you’ll also be within easy reach of the sandy beaches of the east coast, including Great Yarmouth (16 miles) and Caister-on-Sea (15 miles).

The bright and airy waterside annexe has an open-plan layout. The property is decorated in calm, neutral tones with pretty artwork on the walls and creature comforts to make you feel at home. Unwind in the lounge/kitchen/diner, where you’ll find everything needed to create delicious dinners for two to share at the dining table or on the terrace. After dinner, snuggle up on the sofa to watch the TV/DVD or simply admire the boats bobbing past the window. At the end of the day, retire to the stylish double bedroom for a good night’s rest. A sleek shower room completes the accommodation. Outside, dine alfresco and enjoy the views across the water from the raised, decked terrace. There’s also a shared summerhouse with seating and a BBQ, and in summer months guests can hire a day boat to explore the area.

Brundall is a bustling boating village, with several marinas and boat hire companies. The village also has a good range of independent eateries to refuel in after a day of exploring. Just outside the village is RSPB Strumpshaw Fen, which is a must for birdwatchers and wildlife enthusiasts. Further afield, enjoy day trips to Wroxham (8 miles), known as the capital of The Broads, or the seaside resort of Great Yarmouth. You’ll also be just 8 miles from Norwich.

Lovely accommodation on the river. Enjoyed sitting on the decking watching the birds and wildlife. Used the train which is five minutes walk away, it was great not to need the car. Jim greeted us and was always available if we had any questions or problems. We hope to return again next year .

This is a great property being on the banks of the Yare with every facility one might need including heating and a/c.

What a fantastic place to stay. Host and accommodation first class. Just stepping out onto the decking in the mornings / evenings was a joy to watch the wildlife and boats moored up and passing up / down the river was so relaxing and chilled. Great places to visit by car / train. Highly recommend this location - top banana!
