River Retreat is in a perfect location for fishing holidays, wildlife spotting and seeing 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.

maxine woods2024-07-04Last weekend we stayed in River Breeze lodge to celebrate my mum's 80th birthday. 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!Christine Hiskey2024-06-30What 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. 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.Mihai Cutuhan2023-12-30Lovely place and great houses with everything you want clean like new everything 👏👍👌🏅💯Daniel S2023-10-26Great condition, beautiful location.
