River Retreat is in a perfect location for fishing holidays, wildlife spotting and watching the boats pass by on their way to and from the River Yare.

One of our original Norfolk Broads lodges, River Retreat has been renovated and refurbished throughout. A great location at the entrance to our small, quiet marina with quay headed moorings for use by our holiday lodge guests only. Tastefully decorated with double french doors leading to the veranda with water views. A peaceful setting and perfect to get into the quieter waters with your own boat, kayak or paddle board. You can moor your own or hired boat directly outside and fishing is possible from your garden!

We highly recommend exploring The Broads from this idyllic spot – Day boat & canoe* hire is available locally, pre booking is advised. *Guests benefit from discounted rates on canoe hire. 

Located in the village of Brundall, the centre for boat building and boat hire, which has its own railway station, shop/post office, mini-market, hairdresser, Chinese takeaway, fish and chip shop, Indian restaurant, café & bakery and local pubs serving good food.

With the train station less than half a mile away you can visit beautiful Norwich for shopping, sightseeing and history or Great Yarmouth for an ice-cream on the beach and family friendly fun at the Pleasure Beach with its rides and amusements.

Exploring the Norfolk countryside and coastline is easy by car with quaint towns, villages and wide sandy beaches close by as well as family attractions a stone’s throw away. River Retreat is a great choice for all and we know that you will love our Norfolk Broads lodges. Please see our information page for many other local attractions to make your holiday on the Norfolk Broads perfect.
