Welcome to Dinky Daze! Our little riverside gem we have added to our collection for summer 2025. Dinky Daze is a one-bedroom cosy riverside holiday lodge hideaway full of charm and character—ideal for couples or solo adventurers looking to slow down and soak up the beauty of the Broads.
Tucked right on the banks of the River Yare, this cosy retreat has everything you need for a peaceful break. Inside, there’s an open-plan kitchen, diner and lounge, complete with a wood burner to keep things toasty on cooler days. The double bedroom is bright and comfy and there’s a modern bathroom with a shower, toilet, and hand basin.
Step out onto your private decking and let the river views work their magic. Whether it’s your morning coffee watching the wildlife, a glass of wine at sunset, or simply watching the boats drift past, you’ll feel a world away. There’s even a private mooring, perfect for bringing your own boat or hiring one locally to explore the waterways.
Fishing is available just steps away in fishing season, so don’t forget your rod license! and you can launch your own kayaks or paddle boards straight from the decking too. Fancy hiring a canoe? Get 10% off rentals with our friends at Weston Canoes! Please check for river tolls for your own vessels. More information can be found here River Activities – Norfolk Holiday Lodges.

Posted on jayne martin We had a wonderful week at River View. The weather wasn’t great and the fishing was really hard, but that’s river fishing for you, very unpredictable. We sat every day at the bottom of the garden being very comfortable with the fishing set up, more than enough room for two people, and we have a lot of gear between us! The dogs loved it too although we did take a 12 meter roll of fencing and some stakes so they couldn’t get near the water’s edge. It worked so well we were asked by both sets of neighbours where we got it from! They just happily played and slept whilst we fished. The accommodation is wonderful, very spacious and immaculately clean. We took two cheap king size fitted sheets from Asda to put over the sofas to protect them from dog hairs so we didn’t have to worry if they got on them whilst we were fishing, The view was amazing. We also appreciated the shed and bait fridge, and loved being able to drive onto the property, and have room to turn around the car, plus once the gates were shut, you felt very secure. You could easily park four cars there. All in all one of the cleanest and nicest properties we have stayed in, especially when you consider it is dog friendly. NHL deserve all the praise they get.Posted on jayne martin We had a wonderful week at River View.

Spotless, fab fixtures and fittings. Amazing management by Tina who went above and beyond to make us all welcome. It was Halloween so lots of little extra touches, dressing up for our grandchildren & providing treats for them & our dogs. Cafe & pub on site. Station a short walk allowing easy access to Norwich, Great Yarmouth & Lowestoft. Fishing for the family from the huge outside deck. We've already booked 2 more breaks. Another return visit fab as always. 🥰Posted on Jane Moore Wow what a fantastic Lodge. Spotless, fab fixtures and fittings. Amazing management by Tina who went above and beyond to make us all welcome.

From the moment we arrived, we relaxed and got into 'holiday mode'. The lodge was extremely clean and we received a warm welcome from Tina. We enjoyed being alongside the water and seeing the ducks and the heron who were regular visitors. From the lodge, you can also see the boats heading out to the river from the marina which we enjoyed. The lodge was very well-appointed with everything you could want. I had taken tea towels, dishwasher tablets and washing up liquid but didn't need to as it was all provided. We were a party of 6 adults and found that we had plenty of space to relax. The veranda area and garden were also great to use with plenty of seating. We visited the pub near the railway station on a few occasions over the weekend for both drinks and food. It was perfect to walk to and meant that we didn't have to drive anywhere all weekend. The food was great. Brundall has a couple of Co-op stores which we used along with other amenities. It was a wonderful weekend and the perfect backdrop for our family celebrations- thank you!Posted on maxine woods Last weekend we stayed in River Breeze lodge to celebrate my mum's 80th birthday.

This place truly was home from home. Fishing was great, lots of tiddlers but some failed opportunities of pike and large bream straight from the decking! Good range of garden furniture including sun loungers which were lovely for soaking up the atmosphere. A broad is very close by and easily reached by water, so do bring your SUP/canoe/kayak. Tina was extremely responsive throughout our booking and our stay. A great stay and thoroughly enjoyed it.Posted on Christine Hiskey What a wonderful place Ferry Lodge is, a great position on the river Yare with a lovely view of the country pub, on the other side of the river (you'll need your own transport to get across the river or around a 1 hr journey by car), passing boats and great evening sunsets.
