Fishing Holidays in the UK
Discover an angler’s paradise at Norfolk Holiday Lodges, where the gentle flow of the River Yare sets the stage for a beautiful Fishing Holiday. Nestled by the enchanting Norfolk Broads, our lodges offer a tranquil retreat for those seeking to escape the rush of daily life and immerse themselves in the pleasure of fishing. The call of the river is strong and waiting for you to answer with rod in hand, ready to create unforgettable memories in this picturesque setting.
Fishing on the Tidal Norfolk Broads
Fishing on the tidal waters of the Norfolk Broads is as much about the experience as it is the catch. These beautiful rivers are shaped by natural movements, meaning conditions can vary from week to week, all part of the charm of fishing here. Guests will enjoy the peaceful riverside setting, the variety of fish species, and the simple pleasure of spending time outdoors on a tidal river. While no catch can ever be guaranteed, the Broads offer a relaxing, authentic fishing experience for anglers of all levels.
What can I expect?
The Norfolk Broads are a living, tidal river system. Some weeks fish particularly well, while others are quieter – a reflection of changing tides, water levels, and seasonal conditions. Many anglers find this variety part of the enjoyment, offering a more traditional and rewarding fishing experience than stocked waters.
Where to get your bait
For fishing supplies we recommend Angling Direct located in Wroxham or Lathams of Potter Heigham both of which are easier to get to than the closer Norwich options due to traffic conditions.
Important information
Please remember to bring your rod permit, as this waterway is a protected gem which we are all responsible for preserving. Fishing permits can easily be obtained by visiting https://www.gov.uk/fishing-licences and then you’re all set to cast your line into these inviting waters.
Perfect Fishing Holiday Accommodation
On the riverside, as the sun dips below the horizon, casting breathtaking sunsets over the Broads, enjoy the convenience of fishing in the open season from your garden or decking, with only the tranquil sounds of river activity as your backdrop.
Quieter waters can be found at our marina lodges, where the gentle flow of the river water from the Yare feeds into the backwaters. Early birds will enjoy the sunrise. Fish directly from your garden and enjoy watching the boats meander to and from the river as well as the wildlife who frequent both marina and river locations.
Leave the cool box at home as our lodges benefit from their own fishing bait fridge for your private use.
Private moorings
For those who want to venture further into the broads to hunt down their catch, moorings for your own or hired boat are mere steps away at the end of the garden / decking, and with the added convenience of a nearby slipway, fishing adventures could not be easier.
Much more...
In between fishing excursions, explore the countryside and coastline, or simply relax on your veranda with dining furniture, savouring the peace of waterside living. Brundall offers local pubs, eateries, and a small selection of shops to enrich your stay. For a larger choice of shops and entertainment, head to Norwich or Great Yarmouth, both of which are accessible by train from Brundall station, walking distance from our lodges.
At Norfolk Holiday Lodges, every detail caters to the perfect Fishing Holidays UK, balancing rustic charm with the luxury of direct water access – for days filled with the allure of the catch and evenings wrapped in the comfort of your cosy holiday lodge.
