Perfect accommodation and location
You can never be 100% sure what you will find when arriving somewhere new, in spite of how much research you do but River View exceed our expectations, both on the accommodation and location fronts.
Everything was clean and well maintained and the view from the lounge through the patio doors was amazing, especially at sunset.
Fishing was comfortable from the decking area at the bottom of the garden.
Train station and pub within a 5 minute walk and a Co-op a 20 minute walk.
Booked again for next year, while we were still there.

Wonderful retreat
If you need to relax and watch the world go by on the water this is the place. Lots of bird life, Marsh harriers, Grebes, swans and garden birds.

Lovely lodge
We had a great week here and the reason I have given 4 for location is that the local area for dog walking is very limited. We loved watching the river activity and the garden and decking were ideal. Tina was extremely friendly and helpful.

We stayed for 2 weeks and loved it. Would definitely stay again.

Our stay at River View was one of our best holidays ever. The lodge was lovely and the view second to none. We went out every day but couldn’t wait to get back to our lodge and sit out on our decking watching the river and the amazing wild birds, unbelievable. Thank you to the lovely Tina for making this possible

Idyllic stay at River View
Our stay at River View was idyllic, we have now stayed twice September 2022 and July 2023 and on both occasions enjoyed our stay enormously. The accommodation is exactly as pictured/described and that is always a big plus for me, we had everything we needed and the icing on the cake was the gorgeous view. My husband enjoyed the fishing at the end of the garden (actually caught some good weights) and being positioned on the river close to the marina’s made interesting viewing. Brundall is very well situated to get out and about to visit the attractions of Norfolk and very close to Norwich with the train station more or less on your doorstep, it’s a very good base.

Perfect for us.
The location and amenities were perfect for me. I brought my small fishing boat (4m) and launched in the marina. Put the trailer in the garden securely for the next 13 days. Moored the boat at the end of the garden and everything was set for a lovely relaxing holiday. The bait shed has a fridge with a freezer compartment which was very handy. I also took the opportunity to have my boat engine serviced at marine power in Brundall so it was also very handy for that. Some beautiful pictures of sunsets and the location generally. Great holiday for me my wife and the dogs.

Amazing Stay
This property was just amazing. We have stayed at properties in Brundall before with a different company and were not sure what to expect from Norfolk Holiday Lodges. This property exceeded our expectations on every level. It is so clean and well equipped. It is even better in reality than the photos on the website. Ideally placed for the train station for a 10 minute journey into Norwich. It was lovely to sit by the river with a cup of tea on an evening after a day out and watch the herons and swans as well as the boats gliding past. So peaceful. Also walking distance to the White Heron Pub where the food is excellent. Would love to return if there is availability.A real find.

A real gem by the River Yare
River View is a lovely little property which is clearly well looked after by Tina and her team. With owner occupied properties either side it is a quiet and accessible retreat alongside the river. Ideal for fishing or simply sitting and watching the world go by with a glass of wine in hand. All of the fittings from the oven, microwave, fire and television to the general furnishings are all high quality items that we would be happy to have in our own home. All in all a very comfortable lodge ideal for two or a family of four.
The local area has restaurants and takeaways in the vicinity and of course Norwich is a short drive away We dined in most nights and enjoyed this great lodge to the full and will return next year. Highly recommended.

A superb week.
We had what was probably our best UK holiday ever at River View during a week in August this year. The cottage is very well appointed with comfortable furnishings throughout and a kitchen equipped with quality appliances. The pictures tell it all and what you see on the website is what you get for real. The location is perfect with easy access to numerous places of interest including Norwich just 6 miles away. There are many eating places within a short drive although we chose to eat in most nights, just for the sheer pleasure of dining out beside the river, Whether fishing or just sitting watching the boats go by the week was incredibly relaxing and for us the perfect holiday Thanks to Norfolk Holiday Cottages and in particular Tina for a worthy week on the Broads.

Home from home
We had another fabulous stay with Norfolk holiday lodges, our 7th, with more booked.
River view is beautiful. It's has everything you could need apart from a washing machine and a 3rd bedroom for when the family tag along, but that's just my preference.
The lodge is bigger than we expected, very spacious, especially the kitchen. It has plenty of cupboard space for food and supplies.
Cleaning is always as expected, perfect, with plenty of products to last the holiday.
We had very high tides a couple of days with flooding onto the lawn but the lodge was safe and warm. We did have swans paddling in the garden which was great to watch. Thank you to Tina for coming to my rescue with wellies until mine arrived the next day. She did message and warn us about the flooding so we were almost prepared. It didn't affect our stay at all in fact it was a fun highlight.
We use a farm shop a few miles down the road at Blofield. Its called Norfolk camping and leisure. Its expensive but delicious. Worth every penny. We also use New world chinese takeaway in the village.
The fishing this year has been a bit of a disappointment, but its not just Brundall. Hopefully it will start to pick up soon. We did see plenty on the camera, just not biting. But it won't put us off Brundall.
Counting the days to our next journey home!

Beautiful Lodge
A really lovely weekend stay with my husband and 84 year old father in law.
They are keen on fishing so a perfect spot to settle in one place for the stay and fish from the garden. For me I could relax, enjoy the lovely view, watch them fish and the boats go by in comfort whilst still having the luxury of the lodge at hand. Perfect!
A nice warm welcoming lodge thats in excellent condition, spotlessly clean and has everything in it you would need inc some tea, coffee, biscuits, sugar, milk and cleaning basics. Appliances, accessories and furniture are of good quality and the sofas are nice and comfy.
Good size bathroom with lovely large walk-in shower (the window could do with a blind/cover). Shame the heated towel rail wasn’t working as had to use the above wall fan heater for the towels to dry.
Comfortable beds with lovely soft fresh bedding. All slept very well .
Has a very large parking area.
Received a message from Tina the owner to check all was in order and could contact her with any queries or concerns.
The only downside is, if you’re staying at the lodge with intent of fishing from the garden then be prepared as when it’s high tide (which was every day we were there) the garden floods. The water covers the decking on the rivers edge and works its way back up the garden. Sadly of course this stopped the fishing and all equipment had to be removed ☹️
That decking needs raising like the neighbours to prevent this problem and could also do with some sort of anti slip protection on its surface.
We had a lovely weekend and would definitely recommend a stay.
Thank you
