Tina was wonderful and the place was fantastic. We enjoyed it so much we extended our stay. The deck was especially appreciated and great for launching our son’s kayak.

November stay in the Broads
The cabin was exceptionally clean with all the utensils and facilities in very good order.
The only minor niggles were around lighting which was either full ceiling lamps which were very bright or one lamp in the living area, meaning reading at night was impossible.
Some dimming ceiling lights or more table lamps would be better.
Access to the river was excellent, providing a very easy platform for embarking and disembarking the boat.
The instructions for access and facilities were clear and everything was as expected.

Amazing lodge in an idyllic location. Clean and comfortable with everything you could possibly need. The children loved seeing the swans and cygnets up close every morning and there are beautiful walks near by.

Relaxing holiday
Nature's Nook was a delightful property on the River Yare at Brundall. We enjoyed sitting watching the boats and wildlife from the lounge and the decking area which had plenty of seating. The interior of the property was good, the bed was comfortable and the kitchen well-equipped. Brundall station was a short walk away so we used the train for trips to Great Yarmouth, Norwich and Cromer. We had a nice meal one evening at The White Heron which is next to the station. I would have liked to have done more fishing. I tried once but there was too much weed and lily pads, but that did not ruin the holiday.

Thank you for your kind words! It’s wonderful to hear you enjoyed the peaceful riverside setting and the lodge itself. We’re sorry fishing was tricky during your stay - to make it easier for future guests, we’ve now added a really effective fishing rake to use from the decking. We hope to welcome you back sometime and thank you for taking the time to review Nature's Nook. All the best, Tina

The kitchen facilities were also very good and we didn’t even feel the need to eat out!there is a lovely pub a short walk away and the staff were lovely! We loved nothing more than relaxing in the evening and enjoying the wonderful views. A very relaxing stay and we can’t wait to return.

6 STARS !!!!
Absolutely loved staying here even though the fishing season had ended.
The accommodation is of a standard seldom seen in a riverside rental.
Everything was in the same class & in some cases way above that I've previously found in many hotels.
So peaceful, with views to absolutely die for, just what we needed at the time.
Our two Spaniels absolutely loved being there & we will most definitely be back sometime very soon but for longer this time.

Wish we had booked for the summer
The lodge is excellent everything you need, right on the main river, the decking area would be a real sun trap in the summer .,
For the fisherman you are provided with a shed to store your tackle and there is also a bait fridge.
The lodge is clean comfortable easy to find and not far from local shops,pub,ect.
This year's holiday entitlement all booked up but we will return hopefully 2026 at some point.

Outstanding riverside lodge
Outstanding riverside lodge, with beautiful decking and access to the Yare and the Broads. We enjoyed paddling to two local pubs and tranquil meanders around the local broads. Our holiday was enhanced by the fabulous service provided by Tina, who couldn’t have been more welcoming and accommodating. We loved the local marina cafe and the train provided fabulous access to Norwich and other places. Strumpshaw RSPB reserve nearby was really great.

Comfortable Pretty Lodge with Stunning Views
Wonderful lodge in the most stunning location. Lovely and quiet but with such lovely views. Sitting watching the boats and yachts and being visited daily by the swans and ducks was enchanting. Loved my stay , as did my labradoodle. Even though not enclosed at the front of the property, it was easy to make it safe enough for her, using a long line. Great communication with Tina the owner too.
So hope to return soon...
Response from VrboOwner on 12 Sept 2023
Thank you for leaving such lovely feedback, we appreciate it and are pleased you enjoyed your stay. We have since put a fence where the gap at the front was so it is more secure now.

Our seven nights stay
We found the holiday lodge (nature’s nook) to be a very comfortable place that allowed us to have a relaxing stay with all the required amenities.
The host (Tina) kept us well informed with email, phone calls and greeted us on arrival and went through everything.
I would recommend the holiday lodge to anyone as it offers; fantastic views form inside the lodge due to the double patio doors or on the two levels of decking along with fishing from the low level decking (outside fridge for bait).
Regards
Robert & Jayne

Another fabulous stay
Our second stay in Natures Nook was just as special as the first. The lodge is spotlessly clean and has everything you need. The beds are very comfortable. The shower is powerful and perfect temperature.
We had fantastic weather for the end of October so we could sit out on the decking and enjoyed fishing and watching the boats go by. The temperature dropped in the evenings but the lodge was toasty warm inside. It was lovely to see Witchy T fly in on her broom on Halloween night with her treats. A brilliant hostess as always!
Norfolk holiday lodges are the best. We cannot recommend them enough. Looking forward to our 3rd visit to River Retreat and our 6th stay with NHL next summer. Thank you Tina for everything ❤️

Wonderful Lodge
Staying here at the moment and it’s perfect! Whoever designed the interior needs a gold star . It has EVERYTHING you need and I can’t believe how much it does have for a small 2 bed. When we first arrived I was super pleased with the decor it is all so fresh & well maintained. Then I checked out the kitchen and it has all the utensils you could need. I looked in the bedrooms and thought what a shame there are no wardrobes as it’s nice to hang your clothes BUT then noticed this ingenious clothes hanging part at the side in each bedroom and you can hang loads of clothes on it. The main bedroom bed has drawers all round so there is loads of storage space and a chest of drawers in the second bedroom means there is absolutely no lack. The bathroom is only small but has loads of storage in an under sink cupboard and there even a shaver point on the mirror. A large smart TV. There is literally everything you could possibly want! For a small cabin there is far more supplied than we have had in far lager rentals in the past. The decking area is large and the views are amazing. We could not have asked for more! I also have to thank you for arranging ramps so my Husband could get into the property in his wheelchair. I really cannot thank Norfolk Holidays enough or recommend Natures Nook any more highly. We had THE BEST WEEK!

Another fantastic, relaxing stay
We have had another fantastic, relaxing stay with Norfolk holiday lodges. It was our first stay in Natures nook after 2 stays in river retreat and have already rebooked for next year for Natures nook and the beautiful new Ferry lodge, which i had a sneaky peek at
Natures nook is on the main river with wonderful views and lots of wildlife. We come to Brundall to fish and chill. Which we certainly did. We saw families of swans and cygnets (very inquisitive), ducks, the heron was a frequent visitor and a kingfisher. We caught lots of fish this visit, with more caught as the tide started to go out.
We were also treated to a yacht race on sunday morning. We had a daily fly over from the jets.
Our stay was so peaceful we hardly heard or saw anyone. It was lovely having a visit and catch up with Tina, she is a fantastic host and cannot do enough to make sure you have everything you need for a fab stay and listens to ideas and takes them on board.
We stayed during storm Ciara and witnessed very high tides, some flooding and high winds but we felt very safe in the lodge. Its so cosy and warm on cold, wet and windy nights.
The lodge is well equipped but id prefer a washing machine rather than dishwasher. But thats just my personal choice. We had a smart tv so could log into the apps we use at home and also downloaded a radio app so we could listen to our favourite stations whilst fishing.
We are looking forward to returning next summer and now regard Brundall as our second home.
