Accommodation details

Escape the humdrum of everyday life in this beautiful cottage in the peaceful village of East Ruston. The property sleeps four guests and makes a lovely couples’ retreat or base for a small family. The cottage has a sociable, open-plan layout and a sunny patio overlooking a lake. It’s within easy reach of The Broads, with Stalham just 2 miles away and Wroxham just under 10 miles from the property.

You can also enjoy trips to the seaside, with the golden sands of Sea Palling a mere 7 miles from the cottage. This home-from-home is bright and airy with pretty soft furnishings and homely touches throughout. It has an open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, with a large wooden table for enjoying family mealtimes together, and comfortable sofas arranged around a Smart TV.

In summer, open the patio doors to let a gentle breeze flow through the cottage. Upstairs, you’ll find two inviting bedrooms – a king-size and a twin – along with the family bathroom. Outside, discover a south-facing patio, where you can sip a sundowner whilst admiring the local wildlife. East Ruston is home to a stunning vicarage garden; with themed garden rooms and an array of exotic plants, this little slice of tranquillity is a must for horticulture enthusiasts or anyone looking to escape the hustle and bustle for a couple of hours.

The Weavers’ Way walking trail passes through the village, and you can follow it along a disused railway track for 2 miles to Stalham. The town is on the northern edge of The Broads, and is a hive of activity, with eateries, boatyards and a plethora of waterside tracks and trails to explore.
