About this property

Norwich and the Norfolk Broads

The Ramblers is in the village of Brundall, 6 miles east of the historical city of Norwich and in the heart of the Norfolk Broads. The accommodation is completely self contained and forms the ground floor front part of the building (the owners home is at the rear of the building). Situated on a quiet private road, the property is close to the village railway station with links into Norwich, Great Yarmouth and Lowestoft. Norwich is just a 10 train minute journey. Road links are good as Brundall is located just off the main A47 and the village also benefits from regular bus services.
With two bedrooms, the master features a King size bed, TV with free view, dressing table, double wardrobe, a hairdryer and blackout curtains. A travel cot can also be provided if required. The second bedroom has a zip link bed so can be set up as a twin or double room depending on your preference. This room also features a TV with free view, dressing table, wardrobe, a hairdryer and blackout curtains.
The kitchen diner is fully equipped with everything you will need. Including gas hob, electric oven, dishwasher, microwave, crockery, glasses, cups and cutlery. Off the kitchen there is a utility room where you will find a washing machine, iron and ironing board. A child's highchair can also be provided if required.
The light and spacious lounge features two leather sofas, a large screen TV with free view and streamed movies and sports, a PlayStation 3, a piano, and access to a patio area. (Please note the owner needs access through the patio to enter his home at the rear of the property, however from a socialising perspective it will be solely for the guests use).
The newly fitted family bathroom has a P-shaped bath, rainfall mixer shower, sink vanity unit and shaver socket.
At the front of the property is a large private drive with parking for up to 6 vehicles.
The accommodation also benefits from its own independent wifi, which is for the sole use of guests.
As mentioned before, the property is well located with excellent road, rail and bus links. However the village of Brundall also boasts pubs, restaurants as well as numerous other shops and services.

As ever a great time was had in this wonderful property. Very clean, excellent facilities and equipment. The location is ideal for all that Norfolk and the broads has to offer. The host, Matt, was friendly, welcoming and there if needed but discrete and respectful of our privacy. All in all, the ideal break.

Another great time in Brundal

We have been to this property many times and we are always impressed with all aspects. The house is spotlessly clean and very well equipped. The location is perfect for visiting the broads, Norwich and the rest of Norfolk. Finally, the host Matt is friendly, helpful and discrete, but there if needed.

After the journey from hell the previous day, a 7 hour drive much longer than the usual 2 hour drive because of the storm. We had a lovely 5 days escape with plenty of rest and lots of great things to see and do.

A fantastic few days away

The house was nothing short of excellent. Everything we wanted and more. A very nice place to stay either as a base or just having a lazy day. A great kitchen with super cooker and equipment. One of the most comfortable beds I have slept in for a long time. The extensive welcome pack was warmly appreciated. Owners were very nice and extremely welcoming and helpful.

booked to accommodate my family for our son's wedding, a great find! Everyone was impressed with the spaciousness, high standard and cleanliness of the property, all slept very well and commented on the lack of any traffic noise. Matt is a highly professional host, responding quickly to any queries, giving a very friendly welcome and providing those unexpected 'niceties' which you don't realise are essential until you need a cuppa and a bite to eat after an exhausting drive! Thank you, Matt.

Lovely place, great host!!

Me and my 2 boys stayed for just under 2 weeks. The house was very clean and well presented with amicable supplies and welcome package on arrival so we didn't have to run off to the shop straight away after our long flight. Located down a quiet avenue this was perfect position for us to rediscover my childhood village and super close to bus stops and train stations if required to travel to Norwich or Yarmouth. Matt was a great host and checked in with us if we needed anything and informed us of anything that may affect our stay. If we ever make the trip back and this place is available I will definitely book up again for another amazing stay.

The Rambles is a firm favourite of ours, this was our 3rd visit and hopefully we will be back next year. The accommodation is superb a veritable home from home. The hosts/owners are great, there when you need them, but very discrete the rest of the time. I wholeheartedly recommend this property.

Absolutely Fabulous cottage in England

We spent 10 days in this Ab-Fab cottage in the picturesque village of Brundall in the Norfolk area of England. The accommodation was spotlessly clean & beautifully decorated, evoking a traditional English cottage while being thoroughly modernized. The furnishings were both attractive & comfortable, the appliances easy to use, Internet reliable, Smart TV excellent. Everything was of the highest quality - beds, linens, cookware, technology & other equipment. The host was outstanding, a real prince. He met us to orient us to the cottage, was extremely concerned with our comfort, and communicated immediately about any of our concerns questions. The region was also lovely. Lots of footpaths around country lanes & about 15 minute drives into historic Norwich or the North Sea Coast at Great Yarmouth, close to a variety of supermarkets (especially a small but comprehensive Coop in the village proper). We would definitely stay at this property during any return visit to the region, the best & highest recommendation we can give.

A 6 day break in the tranquility of a luxury property in Brundall, Norfolk. The house was perfect in every way. Very well equipped and lots of extras. It was the ideal setting for everything Norfolk offers, great for shopping, dining out, or just relaxing. I know, I did all and more. The host Matt, was very friendly, approachable and helpful.

Matt could not have been more accommodating and helpful, and the properties facilities were excellent and very comfortable. Matt was very knowledgable about the area and gave us a good insight on places to visit. We would highly recommend Matt’s property to anyone wishing visiting Norfolk. We would definitely stay here again when the opportunity arose.

First rate Home from Home

We had a great week at this property. Communication with Matt was brilliant and the home is even nicer than the listing suggests. It was spotlessly clean on arrival and had a very well equipped kitchen. The only thing it could possibly benefit from is some more tumblers and pint glasses. There are 4 of each but we found ourselves putting the dishwasher on half empty a couple of times because we had used them all. There are books, games and puzzles to use too if the weather isn't kind to you. Matt was really helpful with suggestions for activities and places to eat, none of which disappointed. He even provided a selection of breakfast items and milk and coffee so that first drink is ready to go. We made good use of the patio as we had unseasonably good weather. We did find the bedrooms a bit hot but felt safe with the windows open despite being on the ground floor. I should probably add that I normally keep a 1 Tog duvet on until about October when I switch to 4.5 Tog for winter so others probably won't find it hot. I wouldn't hesitate to book The Ramblers for another stay.

Fantastic weekend away

We were 2 couples who stayed for 2 nights to have a day out in Norwich and just for some general relaxation and it was perfect. The property is in a great location just a short walk from the train station and within walking distance of amenities in Brundall. The property was beautifully equipped and presented in a quiet road and had everything you could need for a pleasant stay. We’d have loved to be there longer. Matt is an excellent host providing the best welcome pack I’ve ever seen including fruit, milk, cereals, eggs, really very generous indeed. Highly recommended for visiting Norwich and the surrounding area.

Fabulous rental property!

The property is very spacious and extremely clean. Bedding is comfortable. Lots of space - we were only two, but plenty of room for a family. Excellent provision of start up food and drink, so we didn't have to go the the shops as soon as we arrived. Good quiet location with plenty of parking.

A fantastic place to stay!

This property is possibly the best overall rental property I have ever stayed in! The generosity of our host was exceptional and the items of food they supplied (at no extra cost) meant that we did not have to shop for further supplies during our 4-night stay. Matt (the host) was helpful in every way, making us as comfortable as possible. The property was really clean and tidy, and he seemed to have thought of every little touch to make our stay a pleasure.

Fantastic accommodation and hospitality

This was a short 2 night stay and we were very impressed with both the accommodation and hospitality from Matt. He was there to greet us and talk us through the house, wi-fi etc and made us most welcome. The house was perfect with 2 bedrooms and looked very well presented. The kitchen space was large and was fitted out with what looked like very new utensils, pots and pans, plates, mugs....in fact anything you would need. It was a nice touch that there was tea, coffee, milk, eggs, bread, marmalade, butter, orange juice supplied. The outside area was small, but there was a table and to be honest it was too wet and cold, but in the summer could be nice to sit out in. TV / lounge and wi-fi worked well. The bathroom was shared and was well equipped with a nice ceiling rose shower over the bath - it was a good shower! Couldn't have asked for a better place and would recommend to anyone who requires accommodation in the area. 10/10

Home from home

From the time of booking Matt was very attentive and phoned me to see how I wanted the rooms set up. We had a warm welcome from Matt on arrival, he handed us the keys and let us settle in before showing us around. The property is spacious, beautifully decorated with everything we needed and it was spotless. We were very comfortable and it was always warm when we returned from our chilly days out. The welcome pack was the best I have had with fresh fruit, a bonus. The village of Brundall is lovely and is a great base from which explore Norfolk.

About the host

Hosted by Matt

Host profile image
My name is Matt, I am married to Ae and have lived in this beautiful part of the country for most of my life. After a long career in the recruitment industry I decided to make a change in 2014 which enabled us to provide care for my ageing mother and develop this property.
We are a sociable couple with varying interests. Ae is passionate about her Thai food and is a great cook, I just enjoy eating it! We both enjoy travelling to new destinations and often enjoy short European breaks as well as our annual pilgrimage to Thailand.
Letting The Ramblers as self contained and self catering accommodation was something we only started in February 2017. It is something we can do together which we both enjoy. It feels great to get all the positive feedback from our guests.

Why they chose this property

Firstly the area. Brundall is one of Norfolk's prime village locations. Situated in the heart of the Norfolk Broads and yet just a 10 minute train journey into beautiful Norwich and just off the main A47. Being 6 miles east of Norwich we are also well located for Great Yarmouth and the varied Norfolk coastline.
Secondly the village. Brundall is a lovely village with lots of facilities.
Thirdly The Avenue. The property is situated on a very pretty and peaceful private road. The only sound we have in the mornings is bird song.
Finally the house. The property is on a generous plot and is divided into two completely independent living areas. The Ramblers is on the ground floor at the front of the building and in itself is a large, modern and well equipped home from home offering outside space as well for our guests. My home is situated at the rear ground floor and on the first floor of the building, with its own garden and separate patio area. Finally, at the front there is a large driveway for up to 6 cars, we have just one so there's plenty of room for guests!

What makes this property unique

In truth I am repeating what has already been said. It's great to be so close to the City, yet in a lovely village location.
