Cottage to rent in Brundall, Norfolk

Accommodation details

This romantic bolthole boasts a prime position on the water’s edge in the pretty village of Brundall. The village sits in the heart of the Norfolk Broads, and you can explore the surrounding area from the water or along the picturesque trails following the River Yare. As well as having The Broads on your doorstep, you’ll also be within easy reach of the sandy beaches of the east coast, including Great Yarmouth (16 miles) and Caister-on-Sea (15 miles).

The property is decorated in calm, neutral tones with pretty artwork on the walls and creature comforts to make you feel at home. Unwind in the lounge/kitchen/diner, where you’ll find everything needed to create delicious dinners for two to share at the dining table or on the terrace. After dinner, snuggle up on the sofa to watch the TV/DVD or simply admire the boats bobbing past the window.

At the end of the day, retire to the stylish double bedroom for a good night’s rest. A sleek shower room completes the accommodation. Outside, dine alfresco and enjoy the views across the water from the raised, decked terrace.

The village also has a good range of independent eateries to refuel in after a day of exploring.
